Capn Morgan Scallywag Admiral Registered: 06/21/04 Posts: 7877	Quote: Here's the latest drug runner toy from Europe. This thing can reportedly scream across the English Channel at 60 knots with a full load of fuel and...whatever. The story goes that the British Coast Guard was so astonished by the speed of the unknown boat when picked up on radar that they brought in a special high-speed helicopter to chase it. We're told that the craft was designed with low profile and painted black to make it difficult to spot on the water. Allegedly drugs were found on board when they caught it. Wow !!!! .

GoFirstClass Boating Bum Admiral Registered: 11/21/03 Posts: 7759 Loc: Kennewick, WA	I would think a smaller inflatable of the type used by law enforcement agencies with four 250hp Mercs on the back could easily keep up with that thing. Of course, neither could outrun a helicopter gunship. _________________________ "Liquid Asset" 96 SeaRay Sundancer 330 I just want to go boating!
