These "vintage mahogany speedboats" (4Aug2007) are too small to post on the "ship stamps" thread so I thought I'd post them here and see what other small watercraft have been featured on stamps.  |

I liked that issue when it first came out. I even bought a sheet for my boyfriend, who really misses having his own boat. |

Thanks Fifia  Unfortunately I don't have any stamps featuring speedboats, just a lot of photos from along our beach. Great topic. |
