New marine patrol boat?
 

I've seen a different marine patrol boat a couple of times recently. It doesn't have any marine patrol markings that I could see other than the operator was in uniform. It's a North River aluminum hull with an enclosed center console, a radar antenna and a Honda outboard. Maybe MP has decided to go unmarked.

Is it this 18'6" or the 21' ..... http://www.northriverboats.com/wp-co...K-PATROL-1.pdf ....... looks very expensive if purchased new as opposed to a Craigslist, New Hampshire, 25-year old boat ?

NH Fish and Game? I spotted a boat at a distance back in July and thought it looked like Marine Patrol, but not quite right. He pulled up to the dock a few minutes later to ask how the fishing was. It was a new boat and he was taking it out for the first time. It had a normal gunwale instead of the large bumper / skirt that the MP boats have.

I thought F&G too at first but I thought the operator was wearing black, not dark green. F&G would make more sense considering we see the MP rhibs go by all the time.

Old saying on the Forum
 

Ah, there's an old saying on the forum: It didn't happen unless you have pictures. Sooooo, do you have pictures??? :D:D:D

THIS Boat's Replacement...?
 

NHMP has (or had) a "non-standard", but NHMP-marked gray boat they'd used for late season "mooring compliance".

It may have been the same boat they'd used to maintain navigation markers and flashers. It had a bad case of porpoising, so you could hear it from a mile away.

(Weekdays, anyway).

:rolleye2:

No photos, sorry!

I've seen that boat recently and it wasn't that one.
