My father is about to buy some 65 foot gawdy monstrosity and I couldn't help but think "This isn't why I would buy a boat"

Whatever. It's his money

285 Boston Whaler Pilot House.

But i'm fine with my 2004 20' Trophy. My dad has a 50' Boat that they never use. I can't see owning something that big.

Allison XR2001

But since I have a family that also wants to come boating, if and when I can actually afford one I'll prob get an SS

Nice canoe, I am the 2nd owner of a 1995 Dagger Passage. Awesome, fast boat with a massive hauling capacity

Unrealistically? Well, paging Blackfox to the thread.

Realistically, a nice three cabin 50 foot or so sailboat.

I dunno about dream boat but a 20ish foot aluminum sled, side console with windshield and a jet would be really nice to have

Those are nice.

I'd be partial to a nice 37' Pacific Seacraft canoe-sterned sloop (or cutter).
Just big enough to circle the globe, not so big that handling it is a nightmare.
ETA this is one:

Not fast, but ultra seaworthy.

No doubt. I was on one this past weekend in Destin. Nothing I've been on (center console wise) comes close to the performance, layout, and handling. The Invincible is 2nd place.

Can't have just one!

Need an STV River Rocket for skiing and hauling ass.

Need an Intrepid 375 Walkaround for weekends in the Keys and Bahamas

And I need an Amel 50 for longer vacations

An FPB 78. Sadly, the owners/designers have bowed out due to age and wanderlust, and no more will be built or sold. People that buy FPBs tend not to be normal yacht buyers, and they rarely come up on the secondary market.
