WHAT LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYS

"An officer is only as effective as his vessel; that's why I only recommendMissionMarine."- Mickey Brelsford, Retired Lieutenant, Miami-Dade Police Department, Marine Patrol, 30 year career serving from 1974 to 2004.

MissionMarine has designed and built the best law enforcement and port security boat on the market.It is in a class of its own. Its stability and calm yields an incredible ride, reduces crew fatigue, reduces stress on survivors, improves weapons handling conditions, and allows for incredible maneuverability. Mission Marine vessels provide, for its size class, an incredible amount of space to carry equipment, personnel, survivors, and medical supplies. If your people are important, if the mission is critical, if multi-purpose missions is what you do then a Mission Marine vessel is what you need. Give your crew the very best tool to protect and serve. You have to experience thisultimate law enforcement vessel to believe there is a boat with its capabilities.Because there is nothing on the market like it nothing even close.- Art Serig, Retired SGT, Miami Police Department, 31 year career serving from 1974 to 2004.

What I like best about ourMissionMarine vessel is its stability.It is stable even in rough seas and is amazing in handling a following sea in wave heights of 8 - 12 . The Virgin Islands are surrounded by deep ocean waters that have enormous depths these deep waters cause tremendous swells. We have had to perform in these extremely rough seas, in rough water SAR missions where we actually go toward the wave. The Mission Marine vessel handled the rough water well with minimal pounding, an unbelievable turning radius, and no interruption whatsoever when handling the vessel at quick maneuvers. The Mission Marine cat design really reduces the fatigue factor for officers on board. The vessel has a truly multi-mission platform. We do just about everything from law enforcement, SAR, to transporting dignitaries in the boat. The boat is comfortable inside and outside.The bow is so high up that waves are thrown away from the vessel when riding. There is no getting wet in the vessel even when outside the cabin. It has everything we need, and the engines are extremely quiet for night operations. Its just an all-around great vessel. Everyone taken out on the boat is amazed by its performance. I rate it a 10 on the Richter scale. Deputy Carlos Farchette, Department of Planning and Natural Resources, St. Croix , Virgin Islands

PRODUCT INFORMATION

• MissionMarine288Aluminum Catamaran. Mission Patented Technologies.

• This Mission 288: 25 3 (length) x 11 5 (beam) is a slightly used demo boat with model year 2003 Mercury 250 EFI Outboards: Port and STBD Engines with 152 hours/each.

• LOTS OF SPACE.If you need a 28 to 30 aluminum boat, as far as space and ride, consider this boat!

• WALKAROUND CAPABILITY- The larger beam of the Mission gives you more room and allows you to be protected from rougher sea conditions by having the gunnel around you rather than forcing you up above the gunnel on an elevated deck. This gives the crew more security and safety.

• DURABLE.All Aluminum, No Fiberglass.

• TECHNOLOGY.Mission Marine design draws on one of U.S. Patents Office latest approvals, Patent No.: 6,394,014. And yet, as new as the technology is, the methods of construction are tried and true.

• STRENGTH AND BALANCE.Complex, advanced catamaran hull design yields extraordinary strength and balance, significantly improving stability and ride.

• AMAZING STABILITY.Wide stance improves stability in rough conditions. Amazing, Amazing Stability

• RIDE.A significant improvement in ride that results in an extraordinary reduction and minimization of impact and rocking motion while on the run out or at station. This results in reduced crew fatigue.

• RELIABLE.Missions are engineered to provide long-term service.

• EASE OF MAINTENANCE.As all machines eventually need service, we have already designed Missins for ease of service and maintenance.

• One of the many advantages of Mission's hull design is the ability to get on plane and run with a single engine.

• EXCEPTIONAL MANEUVERABILITY.Mission Marine has a greater distance between twin engines; this offers a profound mechanical advantage resulting in exceptional maneuverability and boat control.

• SHALLOW WATER OPERATION. This Mission Marine 288 uses optional custom engine lift brackets for shallow water and high speed operation, This gives Mission Marine boats very shallow draft capabilities with protected propellers and the ability to be highly maneuverable at these drafts all without trimming the engines up. These brackets also allow you to lift the engines completely clear of the water when at the dock causing no worry about marine growth.

• FLEXIBILITY.You have the ability to mount controls, switches, cleats, handrails, etc. in more places without having to look for wood or something strong to attach to.

• Mission Marineallows for future expansion as well as retro-fitting non-current electronics without complete dash alteration. The Mission Marine boat provides sufficient dash space for all electronics to be installed, not requiring an overhead electronics suite, and it's all mounted in removable panels for ease of maintenance. Room to work! On the Mission Marine dashboard - there is room for a laptopand all the switches are visible.

WHY ALUMINUM?

An aluminum vessel has greater inherent value that is real.Upfront costs for a fiberglass boat will almost always be cheaper than for a comparable aluminum craft. But when the costs of routine maintenance--leaks, cracks, and problems stemming from structural fatigue in fiberglass--are factored in, aluminum becomes the clear choice.

Other Disadvantages of Fiberglass

• Absorbs water.
• Poor quality repairs are often masked by a shiny high-gloss finish.
• Hard to adapt the boat, at any time in the future, to receive equipment that may not have existed at the time you ordered and configured your boat ... hard to make configuration changes at all.
• Hard to find a place to bolt equipment.

The USCG, the world's navies, workboat professionals, and motor yachts are some of those who choose aluminum for their vessels.

Aluminum is a high strength-low weight materialStrength is important at sea, and aluminum delivers this strength. It has roughly twice the tensile strength of fiberglass. Under ideal conditions, flat dry laminated reinforced plastics provide wet tensile strengths of the order of 20,000 to 40,000 psi, average 30,000. 5086 marine aluminum, non-absorbent, has tensile strength of 47,000 psi. Aluminum has the strength of steel with only one third its weight. Aluminum's low weight requires less power to propel the vessel, resulting in lower fuel consumption. Aluminum's light weight also allows for faster speeds, greater maneuverability, more horsepower, extra payload, and less draft.

Safety and dent resistanceAluminum has a high resilience upon impact and will not likely splinter, puncture, or crack upon impact with an object but instead will dent. And if the aluminum hull should need repair throughout the life of the vessel, traditional cut-and-welding methods are used that take advantage of the strength of the hull. This also means less wait for you since repair time is dramatically decreased.

Fire-retardantAluminum's minimum temperature to melt is 1200 degrees. It does not burn, blister, or rot. These are obvious benefits over fiberglass and other plastic boats.

Resistant to corrosionMarine aluminum will not rust.

Customer customization & uniformity of productIt is not expedient to mold a fiberglass hull into a customer's specific wants or job requirements, but with aluminum, customization is more viable.
