cool, what's the chance of finding one at government surplus for cents/dollar(LOL)?

They poke holes in the sides and the boats are generally too heavy and too deep to be good pleasure boats. Getting the drivetrain would be nice though. Tuned up Cummins on 6s.

As someone who manufacture's stuff for the Navy I can tell you that the paperwork/certs that has to accompany the parts, usually weighs more than the part. When you hear people *****ing and moaning about the winning bid to make a toilet for the government being $70,000, you will understand if you ever get a look at the drawings and specs that have to be met. I know what Myco had to go through to get the Navy Weld Qualifications to build that and the inspection qualifications, it takes about a year just to get approved for a specific type of weld for a specific type of joint.

Decomissioned SEAL Boats
 
Years ago a guy in Deltaville, VA had two or three older generation SEAL go fast boats and trailers. The trailers were in good shape, but the boats were completely stripped. To make things worse. Someone took a forklift and punched holes all down the sides to fully take them out of service.

Saw two of them go out of the Port Everglades inlet last night.

The welding must not have carried down to their civilian trailers....:party-smiley-004:

This looks to be the same style boat running on Youtube:

As a member of NSW, I have seen these in Africa too. There driven by SWCC boat operators. Very heavy and made for higher speeds than a 11meter. Diesel powered with nice drives. Very cool boats and hats off to our SWCC boat operators.
