I can't wait until one of our local stations gets one; makes the 41' UTB I spent countless hours on look like a tug boat. I did get to see one of the rejected prototypes used during the competition. It had a cat hull and was jet drive. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commision obtained the boat and run it in the GOM as the "GUARDIAN".
