If Romney wins, we will probably be seeing lots of these:

Quite the Rig, The price is right there with the both Unique.... Not saying if I had the cash I wouldn't get one of these babies.... but they are not cheep.

I doubt we'll see an influx of those. I don't think they are in the Fed inventory since they are small and not as fast as the equipment they already use.

I'm not impressed by it for a "Rescue" boat either. Too small except for searching tight spaces and no room for victims.

Looks like fun though!

This boat will probably be a line item at the next Moultonborough Town Meeting. Something else to purchase. The boat can leave the fire station and travel to Lee's Mills quickly. Into the water it could go. We have had a few fires on islands in the area. The fireboat would be fighting the fire in no time at all.
Of course realistically- Moultonborough keeps the fireboat docked at Lee's Mills.

Great idea

...but as I'm sure you know, the on land time is about 10 minutes and speed is slow.

M'boro could still buy one and equip it...just build a large building just off the ramp to house the boat and provide storage and training. then it would simply be "open the doors, crank up the engine, put it in gear, and go."
