USNRET Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 This is a semi-submersible that we found out of Corpus. Those drug runners are brave if nothing else. This thing is all fuel and drugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkp Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I wanna take it for a spin.I want to keep the boat in front of it; 4 each 225 hp outboards. So is it necessity or money that is the, "mother of all ingenuity?" [] I spent the afternoon with my Dad a week or so ago near the US/Canadian border and went past a Border Patrol boat that was powered by four 300HP Mercs. Dad's comment, "I'll bet they can troll at about 80mph!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 The really sick part is that CBP chases a lot of "GO Fasts" that have 6 of those monster outboards on them. When they get close to shoreline they scuttle the boat to pick up the 'cargo' later. These boats are made night and day and use brand new outboards.

Tom Adams Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Saw a show last weekend where someone reported " loud banging noises" coming from an empty warehouse (it was located in a border town of which I forget). The police investigate and find two Mexicans (later found to be illegals) cutting and jack-hammering a hole in the concrete floor. Further investigation reveals that the hole was to complete the exit of a tunnel that ran under an adjacent city street, under the border fence, ran another 50 or so yards and had an entrance in an empty warehouse on the Mexican side of the border. The tunnel was (according to experts) tug with sophistication in the bracing and concrete smooth floor, lighting and forced ventilation. They estimated that the 150+ yard long tunnel cost at least a million to complete. One Customs agent that specializes in that sort of thing said that it was just one of hundreds of drug running tunnels. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spin would be all I could afford, and not fill up the tanks either that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
