That sounds crazy for me

Mazilla, i think those boats/ships are navy SEAL attack boats. Do they look low, black, pointed, fast, and scarey? They come out of Glorieta Bay and just haul ass. I think those rigs have a couple of big helicopter turbine engines and when we see them are only going about 20% of what they can do. Mike

It wasn't one of those zodiac style boats, it was 30'+ freight hauler of some sort, it had a high bow and high cabin, but the length of the deck was almost at water level. It looked like it was intended to sink a little to allow something on the water to ride in the middle...if that makes sense.

That guy was causing some major wake, I'd be surprised if it didn't damage something along the way.


Edit to add: the vessel looked similar to this...
