Our Coasties in Wachapreage have one of them. The brought it to D.A.R.E. day when I took my son. I got to climb onboard and look around. In your pictures it looks like only two seats but the one I was on had a flip down motor cylce type of seat on the back of the two bucket seats.

I was very impressed with the boat but talking to the guys on it I found my self wondering how safe I would be if I called them for help. Example #1) There are five radios on it but they only knew what two of them were used for.
#2) one of there other boats has two 4 stroke E-Tecs on it. 4 strokes????
#3) I asked if there was a way to test my DSC calling button on my radio with out getting into trouble. One guy said yes, and you guessed it, the other one said no. Both answered at the same time.

During the July 4th weekend the Coasties were assisting local marine police in the Mobjack Bay and they had the machine gun mounted ! It was quite a sight to see..boats with families, children etc..pulled over by a boat with a 30 or 50cal. mounted on the turret in the bow

Get ready, it will get worse. Everyone is suspect thanks to the Department of Homeland Insecurity.
