I saw this boat in Montauk, NY. she is called the rollover boat as she can right herself when rolled over or pitch-poled in heavy seas.

The USCG would do routine rollovers just to train recruits.
She could also survive a pitchpole!!
They don't do that anymore as a rollover would cost over 10 K US
The tragic demise of 44300, February 12, 1997, in she which survived three roll overs and a beaching with the engines still running😮😮😮
I picked up a box of scrap from a partially completed build.
This is a Scrap Build not a Scratch Build.
There is enough template scrap left over, so i was able to fabricate the necessary parts. Time will tell😂😂
Now that she is finished, a couple additions:
Mast and running lights.
Working radar
Flags and decals of USCG Patches
Water cooled ESC and Motors.
I bought this vessel on a whim, I have grown to love her😍😍😍😍
