Texas border patrol boats
 
5 Attachment(s)
Taken from another forum I'm on...

"The Texas DPS (highway patrol) has a new boat. They ordered 6 of these 35' Yellowfin gunboats at $580K each to patrol the Texas border. Thought some of you might enjoy these. I believe 4 go to the Rio Grande and 2 go to the Southern Coast. Hull #2 is on an Amera-trail.

5 x FN M240B 7.62×51 mm NATO Light machineguns, 2 - Barrett .50 BMG Sniper Rifles, 5.56 rifles, 9mm sub machineguns, and grenade launchers."

Dang that thing looks bad arse!!!

Saw it at the Houston Boat Show.
It has FLIR also.
It is not a regular Yellowfin. It has several things different.

When the O gets wind of these boats he will have them ferrying the illegals across the border into the US. His right nut Holder will see to it.

That's one good way to keep the Potlickers away from you.

They got back ups, 5 more ordered.

600k doesn't sound unreasonable with all the tech and firepower that goes onto it. I read awhile back that the hull has Kevlar layers built in it! Wow!!

That infowars dude is a quackjob!!

I was thinking the same thing about the Verados. La Wildlife and Fisheries hates theirs as they are in the shop more than on the water

What I loved about the one at the Houston boat show was, the 6 mud grips on the trailer and even one as a spare!!! Now that's a waste of money.
