How the heck is the Coast Guard going to escort THAT boat within 15 miles of Cuba? Precisely which Coast Guard boat can keep up?

Will that boat only do 115 with what are probably 1650's? I know its a straight bottom but c'mon 3000+ HP in what I assume is one of the lighter Apaches after rebuild.

Will that boat only do 115 with that power? I know its a straight bottom but c'mon 2800 pounds in what I assume is one of the lightest Apaches around.

Maybe its the average speed they're hoping to achieve on this crossing. I was confused too

I would think they would just have boats stationed along the way.

Is this the only 50' er, or do others exist.

I may be wrong, but didn't Bob the Builder already do this?? Except he is from canada ??

Clayfan 07-29-2015 07:32 AM

Yep Bob already did it. Don't think his was a "record attempt" Just a trip to Cuba because he can, or could at the time.
