This is what the US Customs boys are buying to chase the Columbian smugglers around.

No, this is what YOU and ME are buying for the US Customs Boys to chase Columbian smugglers around.

Sort of ironic, I have bought so many nice toys I am not allowed to set foot on.

that I can't afford any nice toys for myself.

The CG has given 8 of these boats to Columbia with 4 more to be delivered.
Hey dwg2116 lets sign up for one of these bad boys. I know some Merc buddies that like to fish and kick a$$.

Monstro,
Been there, Done that, Got the scars

We have six of them at my job. Unfortunately, pictures aren't allowed. The original ones had Merc outboards. They were testing a new one yesterday. They new one is powered by four 250hp Yamaha four strokers. The curious thing is the new one has smart rail installed to knock down bow waves. HMMMMMM?

There are two aft gun mounts on either side where the rod holders would have been.

The article mentions that the smugglers will just abandon their go fasts and fly home after one run, but I haven't seen any of these babies floating around or for sale in the usual drop off points in 20 years of fish the sea of cortez. But, Columbia still sounds like a good place to open a fountain dealership if this is the case.
