Beat me to it...
When I was a kid my dad would rent a beach house on Balboa island (those were the days) and I'm pretty sure there were at least two converted PT boats that rich guys were using as hot rod cruisers.
And yes it was awesome to hear those engines when they fired them up... especially if we were in the water swimming around at the time.
And no my dad wasn't rich and he is a pretty frugal man so I can only assume renting a house on Balboa island was very affordable back then.
Sorry for the thread hijack.
