Here is our boat it is a 1953 Army Transport boat. It is 65' long and is a steel hull. Gross weight is 90 Tons. 3' Draft in the bow and an 8' draft in the stern. She is powered by 1 Buda Diesel (original). It is a straight 6 cylinder at 318 cubic inches per cylinder (we got six V8's down there hehe). It puts out 270Hp but 22,000 lb of thrust threw its 3 blade 46 inch prop. We also have 2 Diesel 17KW Generators. Amazingly enough we cruse at 900RPM's(yes she's a slow motor she goes down to 50 RPM's). At 10 - 9 Knot's with a generator running and get 8-9 miles to the gallon. We carry 1150 Gals. of fuel. Soon I will have more picks.
Here is the Sea DartII at our sea base.
Here we are makeing way somwhere in New York.
Here is our 1990 18' Raven called the Admrial its powered by a 190HP volvo penta I/O with a heat exchanger for salt water use.
This is our 17' oday this picture doesent serve it right. Its our limo we put like 8 people on this thing and cruise around the river(outboard always only way to go). It may be slow but it is the best boat for water wars. Its 800LB and practacly invinsable. With my 18HP on the back it does about 15MPH and throws a 3 Ft wake witch tips over canoes very well HEHEHEHE.
