BOATING -- "But officer, we're just out fishing..."
I've seen boat set up something like this for federal drug enforcement being transported on I-90 near Seattle. Seems the feds have to keep up with the speed-boating criminals.
But outboards totaling 2,000 hp? Can you imaging the fuel bill?
The photo above has been going around the Internet for a while, with this explanation, verified by Snopes :
2,000 hp drug runner boat from Europe.
Used to run cross the English Channel three times a week, it was a blure on British Coast Guard radar.
Enforcement called in a brought in a special high speed helicopter to chase it. Drugs were found on board. You'd need a good cash flow just to run it.
- Yamaha Vx250 outboard engines list price: $23,000 EACH!
- $23,000 X 8 = $184,000.00 just for the motors!
