The TIGER Gunboat program was from 1995. Equipped with twin .50 cal M2HB machineguns, 500 HP Bulldog. Thought I would share them with other Velocity owners. Attached is a photo of a Velocity in service with the TAC Law Enforcement out of Fort Lauderdale around 1995.

Mikes280,
You are right, we displayed that boat at the Miami show. I could not remember if it was 95 or 96. I believe the version displayed at the Miami show had the Hellfire Anti-Ship Killer Missile Boxes designed by Rockwell. Steve Stepp also did a little instructing to the Navy SEALS Special Boat Squadron on offshore boat handling in VA Beach. Steve was the first to test military Gen II night vision goggles for wave depth perception at high speed.
I believe we also did that testing in 95. Thought I would share a little Velocity history.
