I'd be the first to admit that I'm jaded when it comes to boats: It takes a lot to get my adrenaline flowing. After running the Stealth, I couldn't wipe the grin off my face. My gums were dry. The muscles around my lips were in rictus. I wanted to come across to those aboard as a hardened yachting expert, but I was giggling like a kid. We were off Miami in the Gulf Stream with the usual chop and wakes from other boats. The numbers on the GPS were hovering just below 50 knots (yep, 50 knots!).
