A good friend of mine shrink wrapped some parts of that boat before it was shipped here, he also made some canvas covers for the 50cal's on the stern....I have pics somewhere i will dig them up....

Wehad this ship here in San diego last year testing for a few months. Its actually on a lease/ trial to the Navy and was built in New Zealand by the company the pioneered what they call "Wave Piercing Technology". Its designed to run fast in big water where the front hulls actually pierce the waves rather than going up and over. I understand they are quite successful and that the Austrailian Navy has had some in use for a few years with great success. glad to see our US Navy catching up on technology.
