General Information:

Boat #3 was the first fiberglass boat to join the Patrol fleet. Purchased new in 1976 directly from the Mako factory in Florida, this boat quickly proved its worth, exhibiting a combination of durability, power, speed, maneuverability and practicality. A true "industrial-strength" boat, this vessel has been put to the test time and time again, always passing with flying colors.

Boat #3 has logged thousands of hours in its 32+ years of service with the Patrol, yet it remains as valuable to the fleet today as it was in 1976.
