Own a Piece of History!
"Mind Patrol" is a 26 foot US Navy Personnel boat that was built in 1990 to serve as the Captain's gig aboard the destroyer USS Briscoe. She was built by Marine Technology, Inc out of fiberglass construction and is powered by a Cummins 6BT5.9-M diesel engine. Since she was carried on deck for most of her lifetime, the engine shows very low hours.
She has a large cockpit which is perfect for fishing, day cruises, working or tours. Below decks, she has a single large cabin which can seat 12 people in inclement weather. Her new custom swim platform is ideal for swimming, diving or tending lines.
Sturdy and strong, she is comfortable in weather which has sent other boats to port.
