2,000 HP Outboard Inflatable ...

Here's the latest drug runner toy from Europe...


This thing belts across the English channel 3 times per week and was just a blur on the radar of the British Coast Guard.



They were so astonished by the speed of the unknown craft, they brought in a special high speed helicopter to chase it. Drugs were found on board. Of course, you'd have to be on drugs to put the throttle down on this rig!

A link to the article would be nice.

How fast is it?

Did it not show up on radar because it is a non-reflecting inflatable?

Just wondering.

OK - 70 Mph!

They probably aren't worried about Miles Per Gallon.

Being able to carry 15,000 Litres of fuel,they probably don't care.
Glad I dont have to pay, to fill up the tank.
That's 27,000 AUS Dollars to fill. w00t.gif
