The 42' Fast Response Boat (FRB) combines the agility of a response boat with benefits of a larger patrol ship. Equipped with dual 565hp Caterpillar diesels the FRB can operate in heavy weather up to 350nm offshore with a maximum speed of 40+ MPH . It features a forward berth, complete with head and optional galley. The Hamilton jets give the FRB an amazingly shallow 30" draft, allowing it to operate in areas smaller outboard boats fear to go. The independently controled jets allow for mobility and precision control unmatched by other configurations. These features combine to make the FRB an ideal multi-use addition to any boat fleet.
