A better comparison would be a run down small tramp steamer that someone lives on, slapped guns on, and has smuggling compartments installed against a fully staffed naval ship on a research mission.

So, an old paddlewheel boat from the Mississippi or Ohio rivers?

I was thinking maybe something like The Vital Spark complete with Para Handy, but with guns strapped to the side and trading in contraband.

Edit: That would actually be a good show: Space Para Handy.

Only reason I went with the speed boat was the claim to fame of the falcon being able to veritably rip through the Kessel run. Depending on the interpretation of the whole "12 parsecs" thing, that implies either high speed or superior maneuverability. Plus, in some of the combat scenes, the falcon is both fast enough and nimble enough to hang with ships that are zipping around with little effort.
