Can you ever have enough word problem practice?

It takes 3 hours for a boat to travel 27 miles upstream.  The same boat can travel 30 miles downstream in 2 hours.  Find the speeds of the boat and the current.



Work out the problem, and while you are waiting for all to finish tell me about any boats you have been in the comments.  
I have been on:
  • canoes.  Every year of my life 5 - 21
  • kayak
  • speed boats
  • pontoon
  • But never a cruise.  Trying to decide if I would like or not like.  Anyone been on one?  Reviews??
