Re: Northwind Marine 40' Israeli police boat

Sorry no more information about these boats after I posted this thread. I do know that there is a second boat being built right now.

If your local I am sure you can arrange a visit to see all the boats they are working on.

Re: Northwind Marine 40' Israeli police boat

The vessel has had its first sea trials word is that fully fueled it did 36knots. They are putting the final touches on the vessel now. The customer is making several changes to meet his needs so atleast one more trip will be needed before its ready for delivery. I saw them coming up river last week...

Re: Northwind Marine NOAA 30' Dive boat

A little bonus.. They were just putting plate on the ground for this one when I took the first photos above. When I was working for them they built these for doing under pier inspections. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_25NfBa6P3yY/TD-7I58KRaI/AAAAAAAADTk/mmAmXE839qk/s720/2010-07-15%2007.02.19.jpg http://lh3....

Re: From the good old days..

Don't get me started on the pooper stuff. I was sent out to replace a macerater pump on a yacht one time. There was a main black water tank mid way in the hull and a smaller tank back aft.

Re: Another great find..

Not sure if it matters but it looked as if this is a boat built in 2006 according to the numbers on the back. It was in very good condition for that year boat. I suppose it could have spent some time on land or in fresh water but mat it was clean.
