The first boat on the left looks kind of looks like your Tahiti, Hondo made a day cruiser with the elevated deck. There's been one in the boathouse at the Y Landing/Pine Island channel for about 35 years, yellow and brown, big block jet. The yellow boat is a Tahiti or Sidewinder. The Tahiti version was called the Torino, 16' boat sold with an olds 455/berkeley, I don't know what they called the Sidewinder. Any ideas on the grey boat? Fast, agile small boats weren't really an issue unless you had a reckless driver in one. Plus lake conditions don't let you fly around every day in small boats (Weirs Bay on a Saturday?). Seems speed became more of an issue when there were so many 25-30 footers going 70+.
