Mexican Drug Cartels v The Texas Navy


It's being hammered by strict enforcement - the trafficking cartel, that is - but there's a new twist on their getaway activities.

It's called: Splashdown.

Let's hope the Texas Navy gets all the high speed pursuit boats it needs. They are equipped with twin, double barrel machine guns, turret-mounted and are loaded with triple 300 Horsepower outboards.

I can barely make out the logo, but from the lines, that looks like a Yellowfin 36ft. Those are some DAMN fine boats! I got to run out about 60 miles in their 34' last summer. Smoothest, fastest center console I've ever been in. I can't imagine those things in a straight-line chase on the river with some terrified cartel-mules in little runabouts!

Yeah but ----------------- did yours have dual machine guns?

Can anyone guess the caliber of them? Looks like 30Cal to me - but Hey - I'm no gun-ophile.

900 horses too. Gawd! And we ALL know Mercury is quite conservative on their horsepower ratings!

Bring in some drugs and I just bet you can get a nice ride from the nice officers.

What a boondoggle.

They need 50 cals like the coast guard. Just sink the boat in the middle of the gulf and don't even bother to go pick them up.

If I'm seeing things right on my phone, those looked like twin mounted M249s, which are 5.56 NATO rounds, so .223 magnum, not .50 bmg or .308 win (7.62 NATO)
