That would be awesome to patrol my Sonic with the extra .50 cal mounted on her, then I could pick off all the Jet Skis! But in the mean time, I'm riding around on this. Yee Haw!!

Cool, that is my new screen saver! That should P.O. a few anti war folks. <gg>

That boat looks like it might be based on the Predator hull, frequently used by yacht clubs and the harbour police.

Say thanks to your friends for their service and all of you stay safe!

Cool pics 26sonicmotion!

CBR, The gun boat is a 34 Sea Ark Dauntless. Back in November, I spent a week at the Sea Ark plant. They are an incredibly well built boat. Twin 380 Cummins diesels (fully electronic) Twin Disc trannies and Konrad stern drives. The boys run them 24/7.

We went out for sea trials and those big Cummins pull out of the hole like a Mastercraft. 800+ ft lbs tq at 3000 rpm!!!

Stay safe Sonicmotion!

Kurt

That is awesome Biggus!
Glad that you got a chance to take a ride on that bad whama jamma! Turns on a dime! It's more fun though when there are .50 cal and M-60 machine guns mounted and locked and loaded.
Let me see If I can download a bit of video on this site. I'll send it as soon as I can get it loaded up.
