I saw in the paper a few weeks ago that someone's navy caught a sub off Panama smuggling dope. Was the B31 the guide boat and the bulges off the transom under the waterline the guide? After all, its from NJ, and you know how those guys are......

UV, always a conspiracy. Like Bruce says, even us paranoid people have a right to beleive everyone is out to get us........

Transom bubbles

Looks like a pair of those funny add-on mufflers that go on the transom, on the ends of the exhaust pipe as it exits the boat.

Under water lights. Early versions, before they figured out how to put em in a thru-hull housing.

You are all wrong -- prototype rocker stoppers. Hasn't anyone else been following the board?

Ahhhh, but are they deep enough, or too deep?
