Those J boats, on the other hand, are beautiful. If you were a gazillionaire like the guy that owns the Maltese Falcon, wouldn't you really rather have a J boat? Is it even a close call?

EDIT: In fact, if I had that guy's money, I would be driving my Duesenberg Model J to the marina to sail my J boat.
