So outside of Pensacola today I see a monster three engine 30 foot boat being pulled eastbound on I10 that said "Texas Highway Patrol" on it.  WTF does the Texas HP need a boat especially an offshore one for?

Isn't the Hwy Patrol essentially the state police of Texas? TX has lakes, a river next to a lot of crime and coast on the Gulf.

this one did NOT go the way OP intended did it?

as far as the cost of the boats/motors...

they routinely intercept duffle bags with millions on the way back to mexico..  

funding is not an issue

Just think of all the illicit drugs and illegal immigrants that would make it across the border if it weren't for these boats.



They must have received a lot of DHS money to hang $100k off the back of those.

Total of six M240Bs.

If you believe one of the other threads on here.  One of these vessels will be captained by texas attorney general abbott in his battle against the BLM, as he sails closer to the election.    He will be the guy in the boat wearing the penny loafers....
