The composition is great. It was a very good decision on your part to keep just the prow of the boat in the frame. You also did a very nice job with the conversion.
As for the grain issue, I think you have several options. (1) Find a pro lab that can do a better job of scanning, (2) purchase a PS plugin such as Grain Surgery by a company called Visual Infinity (www.visinf.com), or (3) make the investment in a film scanner. In my case, I bought a Nikon Coolscan IV ED several months ago and I couldn't be happier. The Nikon software has a grain reduction program that does a great job even with super-fast film. There are also scanners by Polaroid and Minolta that I believe will also do a good job.

The grain doesn't seem that noticeable on my monitor at all. The tone and perspective of the bow of the boat together with a nice sky are outstanding.

I like tones, light and perspective. Lovely capture.

Beautiful image!
The tip of the boat in the foreground does not detract the eye from the center of the image (the big plume of clouds) so this is very nice.
As for the scans - I would strongly suggest; if you are going to scan negatives on a regular basis that you invest in a dedicated film scanner. As Andrew suggested, Nikon, Polaroid or Minolta (I have the Scan Elite II) will all produce great scans.
Cheers,
Dave

Wait! Haven't I seen this some place before. (a minute or two passes). Here:

I think this one works better as the composition isn't fighting with the (too?) bright colors. Very nice lines.
