Very cool....probably vectored jet powered...since it can stop so quickly.

It runs like a big ass wave runner. Very nice.

Yeah, but with a cabin..

It runs like a big ass wave runner. Very nice.

And a blue light, and guns and lots of other stuff that I'm sure is high tech

Yes but have you seen some of the boats the drug dealers are building these days? I wouldn't be surprised if they were using surplus nuclear subs from the Russians soon!

Neat Boat

But it certainly won't be any use in trying to catch any of the modern drug runners. 42 knots is about half speed for some of these guys. Most of you probably saw the pic floating around not too long ago of the RIB with 8 250hp Yammies hanging off it, that had to be chased down with a helicopter.
