Sure are a bunch of Miata/Sailors out there!  I tend to lean more toward
the powered boats myself.  I own 17' 125HP Cajun bass boat that will run
in the 60's (seems faster than that on the water).  My bass boat and my
Miata sure do bring up same feeling when you screaming across the face of
the earth coming up in the next bend in the river/road then you have to
back off/brake then trim down/down shift to setup for bend.  Gee, I can't
decide which I like the best. I took one of my fishing buddies out in my
Miata the other day (topless of course), he remarked on how much like it
was like riding in a bass boat.  I also own a 20' White River boat (15HP). 
This thing will float in wet grass. 

Is it just that Miatas and Sail boats attract or are there other power boat
owners out there? 

I seem to attract cars too.  Right now sitting in my yard I have a '75 
Dodge Pickup (Ole Yeller pulls my boats), '77 Chevy Nova, '85 Cavalier 
(Piece of SXXX), '90 Acura Integra and a '91A Silver Miata.   If I can 
get one up on blocks in the front yard I guess I'd be a Red Neck. :)
