The T38 is a 38-foot uncrewed speedboat powered by two outboard diesel motors. Depending on its configuration, MARTAC says the drone boat can reach a top speed of up to 80 knots and cruise at between 25 and 50 knots. It has a maximum range of 800 and 1,200 nautical miles.
Thanks for sharing.

They have bought several Mystics for diesel conversion. A good friend of mine has been doing the re-rigs on them and we have been able to acquire some nice some nice 400s, 450s and rigging that they have no use for. Their shop is an hour South of us and its very interesting what they are able to witness and where they are able to go while operating a boat from Florida that is physically 1000s of miles away.
