WOW, look at this baby.

Hi Chaps, just back from a quick break to the Bahamas where, me and Amelia (MeMe - pictured) spotted this baby. I know what it is, do you? The chap pulled up to the pontoon for lunch so we of course wondered over for a chat. He threw me the keys and said, "take it for a spin". Unfortunately, I'd had a couple of Rum Punches and felt bound to decline

She had a 200 Yam 4 stroke on the tail (more pics if you want - including his girlfriend)!!!

He advised that the U.S Coast Guard as well as the S.W.A.T boys use them. The ramp is of course hydrolic.

I WANT ONE...........

It looks a lot like the boat the inshore Formula 1 guys have - is the Osprey rescue team?

Wow, look at this baby

Carefull chaps,

know someone who had one of these and the door/hatch jobby kept getting jamed. The waves made the boat flex too much.
