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 bluron the radar ofthe British Coast Guard.They were so astonished by the speedof the unknown craft, theybrought in a special high speed helicopterto chase it. Drugs were found on board of course, you'd have to be on drugs to put the throttle down on this rig

I think whoever designed this rig was on drugs:wow:

Looks like an inflatable, but I'm sure that's just a gravity fed fuel tank required to feed those monsters. I'd guess each engine can suck about 25 gallons an hour, so what about a 200 gallon per hour burn rate? At $5-7 per gallon in Brittain? Ouch!

I can't remember where I saw it but I saw that picture atleast a year ago, I don't think it's new.

Yeah it's an older picture. I think Gary's 480 DB with outboards eats more fuel but even if these only burn 20 Gal/hr ea. that's nearly 3 gallons a minute.

I'm thinking if I were hauling a few million $ worth of drugs that fuel cost would be the last thing on my mind!!

Where is the fuel tank? Do they strap on rocket boosters?

Sure, but he can tilt the drive up in shallow water.

No that Pictures isn't new, I've scene that even on the coast guard sight as well, it's got to get up and move with 2000 hp..
