snag Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I have a relative who is a marine insurance adjuster. He sent me this email: This baby was being used to run drugs into the UK, Scotland Yard had to use a special high speed helicopter to catch it.... Looks fast?

Carp Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 That's just sick. I think running that thing with the price of fuel nowadays would eat up a lot of the profits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snag Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 cool boat http://www.snopes.com/photos/boats/drugrunner.asp G Wow, it's true! I was looking for some photoshopping! I asked if it would flip, he said, "Tilt and trim on the engines allows helmsman to control the balance of the boat at high speeds... if it hit a big wave at top speed it would definitely get airborne.."
