Waves splash up from the sides of a sleek speed boat as it shoots across the water with impressive speed and force. Many people have been on speed boats before, and as such they are one of the few ships that people identify easily and quickly. Speed boats are small, compact, and are used to shuttle people across short distances speedily or from one large ship to another. Where water travel is essential and constant, speed boats are very important and well maintained. Speed Boats are used around the world to fit a variety of needs. Especially designed for a variety of uses such as a ferry, providing tours of lakes or islands to jet boats used in rivers or water skiing on a small northern lake. A tropical climate and its usual stretches of sea on all sides provide a great environment in which to use speed boats. Speed boats are also highly versatile, and can carry many people for such a small size. Speed boat models are smaller than many other model boats available, save for a dinghy. With their feather like light weight, speed boat models are appealing to those who do not wish to do a lot of heavy lifting with their models. Extremely light weight, speed boat models do well on top shelves or delicate tripods that would buckle under too much weight. When dismantled, speed boat models are even lighter, and can be put away for travel and moving with extreme ease. Some speed boat models are crafted from unique materials, and as such are heavier than their normally wooden counterparts. Speed boat models are slim, slender, and shaped to reach optimal speeds; they also have extremely smooth paint jobs that look best when they are buffed occasionally.

Understandably, when equipped with only a sail, speed boats do not reach their usual speeds. If one desires a normal, rather traditional color, white is the default color for many dozens of model speed boats, but can be detailed in a variety of other colors. Inside the wooden ship, various polished woods, paints, and metals are present, and display a wonderful variety of colors. Very detailed speed boat models may even contain glass-faced barometers on the dashboard as well as a small working helm. These details are especially impressive considering the speed boat model’s overall size in the first place. The glass panes of a speed boat’s windshield are also specially made and hard to come by. Many collectors like to differentiate between remote control speed boat models and regular speed boat models, as both are very different items that require very different care. When you buy a speed boat model, research these differences and make sure you are buying the speed boat model you desire most. Personal attention and cleaning is not something a speed boat model requires. A yearly dusting is recommended.
