IT's real,

This is a picture of a New Hampshire Marine Patrol boat on Lake Winnipesaukee. New this year is a 45mph day and 25mph night speed limit. The lake is 72 square miles so they need something fast to catch the GFBLs. They claim they want to keep the boat wakes to a minimum.

Re: I think this guy needs a kicker

it almost looks like it can do double duty as a tug boat. at top speed the middle 4 250's (ok, I never would have thought I would actually say that) would give power, and the outside four 250's (or that :)) would be out of the water. But at tug/push power all 8 would be available to make a heck of a lot of bubbles in the water....

That pic's been around. The boat was used to run drugs (English channel I believe). That picture was taken when the boat was being auctioned off. Maybe the New Hampshire Marine Patrol was the winning bidder?? I don't know.

They must have been.

That boat has been at the Glendale docks for about a year now.

GFBL = Go Fast Be Loud.

Most of the other Marine Patrol boats are like this. You don't need speed or size on a lake, all they need is a radio.

I would love to hear the engines singing at WOT.
Has to be an interesting ride.

Old OMC worker I know claims OMC's V8 outboards were designed and marketed toward drug runners and the government agencies responsible for apprehending them.

Re: I think this guy needs a kicker

I had seen this a few months back with a claim that it was a drug running boat. That said, if it was a US official craft of any kind, somebody should be investigating where all our hard earned "Homeland Security " tax's are being squirted away! :)
