<<Kerry has millions and the media. All the Swiftvets have is the truth.>> Watched a thing on swiftboats yesterday. The first swiftboats were aluminum and 50' long. Prop driven. Navy needed something smaller and a guy from S.Carolina was making pleasure boats with the hull style they wanted. Navy said send us blueprints and he said come down next week and we'll have a prototype in the water. The boat had a 7" below the hull water intake and a jet propultion unit to make it go. Twin 50s on the front and a 60 on the rear with hookups for machineguns on the side or launched grenades. Could do a 180 in the boat length at 35 mph wide open. Neat boat.
