NEW ROCKET! (pics)
Well the counter-terrorism version on the ROCKET just came off the production line today. For those of you who haven't seen one BEFORE it gets it coat of radar-scattering paint. They look like the SILVER BULLET
Last chance cause here it is in the paint booth. by tomarrow at this time it will look like another BLACK ROCKET

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
RR,
I would suggest just the opposite and put radar reflectors on your boat.
CK,
Another fine product [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
Since when is the government shy with money? Are my eyes deceiving me or is there only one outboard going on there?

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
You're right only one outboard on this 24'9" version. There is one in production now same size with twin 200s.
AS for photo radar>>>>>>If you've gotten a ticket be sure to request a copy of the agencies FCC license. I know OSP let there's expire and my radar ticket's evidence was "suppressed" as the state did not have the legal right to use it if they were not properly licensed,

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
Just cuious, who will your end users be? Coasties, military, Baywatch? What modifications would you do, if anything, to a non-military, sport version. Stout vessel! What do you anticipate the fuel consumption will be with one powerplant?

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
Looks like one of those center console designs that are on the www.acbboats.com ......I hear they are really smooth riding boats, even in rough waters. Took a tour up in Bellingham at those acb boats, Nice but hold on to your wallet! Really well built and lots of nice models to choose from. :smile: LH

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
It is so deceiving when you look at the BLACK ROCKET, it looks like an inflatable.

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
Baywatch was on my mind because I was in the Huntington Beach area this weekend and was looking at some of their vessels. They made me think of the Kujo boats which look like they would never wear out. But then again, it also made me think of Pamela Anderson....

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
GBS - Hey Brad was going to talk with you about graphics. The "boys" want subdued markings
"MIAMI-DADE POLICE"
I'll get you some measurements. It went from the paint booth today to the window shop. Then to Newport for engine mounting then Rodger's Marine Electronics for electronics installation...few touch ups then the boys will be flying up for sea trials. I'm thinking Mouth of the Nestucca or Netarts Bay...someplace where the surf don't be shy since they won't see anything like that in South Florida. A Black Boat in South Florida will sure be HOT :shocked:

Re: NEW ROCKET! (pics)
Don the rocket wear and let's go save America.
Great boats with an inability to sink I like that.
Thanks for the pic's I really enjoy boat building in progress.

kim,
I'd be happy to take care of you with the boat graphics. Let's touch base when you get an idea of what you need.
Thanks,
