If all of us at the free republic chipped in we could have bought 3 of those boats for $18 million from the BC government...after all the BC government only spent about $514 million building and maintaining them...

Awesome.
But does it have shore off load capability or only dockside?
(Looks like real shallow draft but high loading gate.)
