What Boat would you recommend Jay Leno own?

I personally think, if Jay buys a boat to add to his stable of land vehicles, that a Chris Craft woody would be to his liking.

Jay's admiration for quality, style, prestige and uniqueness.

If Mr Leno bought a boat, it would inevitably turn into a fleet. I can see him with vintage wood boats. I think he would like the exotic marine only engines, Scripps V12, Packard V12, Packard Gold Cup 6, Hispano-Suiza 8, maybe there are more.

Steam launch seems appropriate for him.

If Mr. Leno would come up and see the two big collectors in the "Brainerd Lakes Area" museum's, he may be starting a new collection - LOL. They have the best of the best.

I think Leno would be best suited in an 80's offshore V hull. A real Cigarette or something like that.

I cant see Leno having just one of anything. But I could definitely see him having something like this.

Some sort of barrel back gentleman racer with a Rolls Royce Merlin v12.

The man has such a wide swath of interests, it could go any way. But being that this is a high perf boat site, and I just got back from Barber where I saw his Y2K turbine bike, I'd say an Allison XR2001 with a drag. I've seen a lot of his collection, his taste is in authenticity , uniqueness, and craftsmanship. The Ally is all of those. I love all of the boats on this site, but Allison is just different. They punish mistakes, and reward precision. I think he would appreciate that. Plus, an XR riding on the tail doing trips is a sight to behold.

STV river rocket with twin 300's.
