as serious as this is, i bet the pilots and crew get a crazy amount of fun/satisfaction throwing these boats around and absolutely nailing the manoeuvrers.
I bought the same boat from a govt' auction. 12.5 foot long with 25hp evenrude / brp engine. Mine is a model: Achellies FRB124 Super fun and it fits in a subaru impreza
I noticed that these rescue people like to use those new Evinrudes. On the news where it was flooded in California there were these rescues on inflatables with those Evinrudes
