I went for a ride Saturday on the Central Oregon Coast Fire and Rescue's new jet boat. What a blast! I know Carol wanted to go but since she was on duty, she decided to stay on shore and watch in case they got an ambulance call.
She should have gone with us. As fast as that boat is, it could have returned her to the parking area in just a few minutes.
It has a 350 cubic inch V8, an upright wheel house and an easy access platform on the stern for swimmers. It can make it from the port dock to the jaws in two minutes flat, which should greatly improve their response time for boats or surfers in distress. It turns on a dime and is very maneuverable.
