Default 44 Tempest 3208 CATs One of 5 built for CIA ?

Very Interesting Boat! If you read the questions they are saying the reserve is 20k

From the ad.. " Boat is one of 5 built for the CIA for drug interdiction"

Me thinks they have their letters confused, should be DEA, not CIA.

Cheers,

Dave

That is one huge project. Sort of looks cool but how many man hours and cash would it take to make that 32 year old boat look really sharp?
When I read some of these adds, the price is almost irrelevant when compared to how much a prospective buyer would need to spend. 20k is not significant when you're trying to guess the finished cost. Scary.

Am I the only one that thinks that would be a pretty cool piece? Talk about wave crushin azz mo-fo lol. Hmmm . . . and i actually have a spare marine 3208 on hand as well. That thing would be like a Terex Titan for the water lol
