Ribs from distant shores

i've just come back from a job in the Med - 4 days on a Greek Island - and I saw two unusual ribs. The first belongs to the Hellenic Coast Guard and had a mounting for rather a large machine gun on the bow:-

And this very "interesting" rib. Popwered by 2 very large Mercury diesels on outdrives. I can't decide if I like it or not!!

Looks more like my bath than a RIB!

The island wasn't lefkas was it, the first pic looks like Nidri, did a Neilson sailing holiday there last summer. Have seen that rib or one similar, looks very much the same.

No, the CG rib shot was taken on Kalimnos and the other one was on Kos
