How about a 2,000 HP, Outboard Inflatable ! Not your typical trolling fishing boat. Here’s the latest drug runner from some European nuts. This thing belts across the English channel 3 times per week and was just a blur on the radar of the British coast guard. They were so blown away by the speed of the thing that they brought in a specialized chopper to catch it. What was on board……? 300 kg’s. of pure cocaine!!

Managing director Davison, 39, and his partner George, 41, were suspected of making secret cash deals on boats costing up to £350,000, each with eight 250-horsepower engines strapped to the back. Ranging between 30ft and 60ft long and capable of producing 60 knots (about 70mph) at sea, they could out-run any pursuers. Similar sized boats normally have one or two outboard motors.

Their low profile also made them virtually invisible to radar and many were painted grey or black, making them difficult to spot with the naked eye. The couple were even believed to be designing a 108ft version that could be used by criminals running contraband between northern Africa and Spain.

Crompton Marine’s website says that the company uses high-quality materials and designs in manufacturing its high-speed RIBs, and shows military-looking boats in rough ocean conditions. “Crompton Marine is acknowledged as expert in the installation of complex propulsion systems, including diesel and petrol inboard engines with water jets or stern drive propulsion systems and single, double, triple and quadruple outboard engines. A range of craft is produced to suit any user.”
