John Kerry invented this boat, before he didn't invent it.

M Hull? It looks like a modified Boston Whaler, with sharp angles to deflect radar.

I believe this is the one the Navy just built in Lake Couer d'Laine in Idaho. My brother worked on it for many months. That one had interchangeable engines.

Hi All-

"...After about 10 years, most small-boat drivers are eligible for 100 percent disability by Department of Veterans Affairs standards, Glaros said..."

How do they convince soldiers and sailors to stick to this duty with a dismal record like this? They might get them on the first "go around" but this information has to be fairly widespread amongst boat pilots.
