Yellowfins, right? They displayed one at one of the FLA boat shows....it generated quite the thread on THT as i recall. All-time pissing contest.

UNREAL...i will just leave it at that....because it might be political

Stupid f'in waste of money. These boats can't operate on the rio grande, about the only place they can run is a lake (powell ?). What the f are they going to do on a 5x3 mile lake?

I have no doubt that they are a complete waste of taxpayers money. You have to admit, they're bad ass!!

Yellowfins

Spent a lot of time on these boats (Yellowfins). Went on but never took one of these Texas boats for a ride. The Texas boats have a jack plate which can rase the entire motor mount up and down. They should easily be able to run in shallow water. Seems to be a well thought out boat. From what little info i could get out of yellowfin at a Florida show it sounds like they have some over seas customers using these for port security.
The 36 yellowfin is a great riding boat.

And, the pissing contest continues over here. Wonderful.

Yes they need a fast manuverable boat for that job... but a yellowfin? Are they planning on cruising through 4' seas... on a river?

Has anyone here seen the movie "Act of Valor"? I watched it two nights ago and must say the acting got a D+ from me, but the action was intense (A+). They had a gun boat in the movie that was used for an extraction that would be more suitable for a river IMHO.

Yep I saw that movie. Exactly what I was thinking actually when I saw this, that boat would work much better. Nobody would want to mess with one of those. The D+ acting job is because the actors are not actors, they are active duty US Navy SEALS.

I'm not wading into this any further than this one statment, but what the F*** are Navy Seals doing acting in a movie?!?!?!? There should be as little info as possible out there on all of our special forces guys.

Sorry for the rant.
