It needs to be straightened. The horizon is really crooked. I would probably get rid of some of the sky so the picture won't be cut in 'half'. A little burn on the shadows to emphasize the colour. Slight levels adjustment, sharpness.... okay, I admit it. I ran it through photoshop so I would know what I would do..... :) You don't have imge editing on, or I would post it here to show you.

eta: okay, here it is:

I did a straighten, and then a crop. Then adjust the WB and pushed the saturation a bit.

Since the eye is drawn first to the speedboat, it leads the eye into the picture better when it's not dead center. So I think your vertical crop is fine, but I would've left more room on the right side.

Well, you got the horizon straight, but it still cuts the picture in two. Need to cut out more of the sky to raise the horizon. And the water is way too saturated, for my taste, anyway. Just my $.02.
