Quote :: Drug boats in the news…..must be Miami, right? Wrong! This time the long arm of the law is chasing drug boat builders in the UK.

The boats built by Crompton Marine were giant inflatable RIBs with up to eight 250hp engines (usually Yamaha) installed at the transom.

They were capable of better than 112km/hr.

The court heard that the boats were ‘virtually invisible’ to radar being of low profile and painted grey or black.

It looks as though they might use up more gas than the drugs cost! LOL
Especially with today's gas prices!
AND - there is probably about $200,000.00 worth of engines just on the rear of the boat!
I guess you have to have money to make money LOL Laughing
