I think you need to check the word 'retro' from the dictionary.  Wally's boats are ultra-futuristic, using state-of-the-art materials such as carbon fibre. Their boats are characterized by the sharp, stealth-like shapes and the modern, minimalistic interiors. You could almost say they are the exact opposite of retro. | |||
