Rob I like that little boarding ladder idea of yours on your little whiting boat the S-22

The others seem to be pretty good boats to hit the pylons with

They crane them in and out of the water and it's actually a good day to goand watch them. When I say crane I mean like a 8 wheeler long reach job to lift and crop them from carpark trailers straight to beside wharf. Motors and petrol weight more tha the hull.

The overpowered RIB is a drug runners boat and actually uses Aussie made Hydrive steering units. I think from memory it will carry 6 tons at 70knots and is quicker than most government chase boats. They are made in the UK and have had a few export / import issues as everyone is aware exactly what they are used for. Who else could afford the fuel bill and not care if a motor or 2 got shot out. Can make very stealthy fast drug drops and customs and millitary can't afford them let alone also get a gun that could fire accurately in those conditions
