The local USCG at Ft Myers Beach has a black RIB type boat with black
engines for covert night time work. *Does anyone know what these
outboards are?


Some of the "passengers" are Cuban refugees who recently landed near
here.


I don't know, but it sure looks big for the size of that inflatable....


Inflatable companies have the CG in their pockets..There are
practically no limits on engine size on those things, not worth being
a limit anyway.. but the same size boat made of wood would have a
limit of somewhere near 25-35 horsepower, inflatable the same size,
probably somewhere near 200+
