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  |
