That was HCSO acutally it was the Sheriff himself flying it. The whole chase lasted about an hour but the new just grabbed the good stuff but they missed the take down. My boat and St pete's boat were first o/s St pete was primary I was secondary so they got on first followed by my guys about 10 seconds later. As for underated yeah we are but this guy wont second guess us again, neither will HCSO their boat may be faster than ours but they cant out manuver us and thats what saved our guys lives, the fact that our boats turn 180 deg at 40 knots. Here's a vid of our boats and how far they can be pushed. Just look at how far we can lay these boats over, I've actually layed them over hard in a corner and had water come in the windows.
