    Seems to me that one of the outboard motor companies (Mercury?) did just that in print ads back in the sixties. "Smooth enough to plane a kitchen table" or something like that.

    Pretty sure this is a joke, as the image had been kicking around the web -

    I think I like this classic one better -

    I think the newer model has a little more waterline. Same style, though.

    The original had a Formica top.
    The new has Corian.
    Too heavy, slower, as you can see.
