Found my new dive boat

I wonder what MPG it gets. I DO know we probably won't have many dick boaters trying to steal our numbers by getting too close. Not to mention FWC probably staying away

I think you're more into the "GPM" side of the scale at that point.

Of course, if I had Uncle Sugar paying for the fuel, I wouldn't care.

Re: Found my new dive boat

Eric, military boats have come along way. I was in the Navy from 1971-1977. My first ship was a old tin can DD-847- Robert L. Wilson. Built in 1945 and sunk as a target in 1980. Just like bird hunting. We had to "lead" the fighter jets a mile. Thank God we never took on any Migs. In war games, my ship was always one of the first ones taken out. For your new boat. You may want to check out the new THUNDER CHILD by Safe Haven Marine. Great boat for "choppy seas". There's a few videos in sea trials.
