USCG 45 Patrol Boat

[@MikeyDee25]

I remember the old steel 40 footers plying the waters of NY harbor back in the 60's!

[@AskCaptainChris]

They looked a bit different then 😎

[@billmead5052]

They've come along way since the old 41 and 44 footers when I was a coastie!

41? Longer way from the old 40ft UTB. We got 41449 to replace 40386. But if you look at the "hull" condition of this 45ftr, I doubt they will last as long. 40's were around for 30+ years.

41? How about the 40 LOL. My first unit, Sta St. Clair Shores MI had a 40. We got a 41 (41449) that summer but the 40, was slow and loud. The 41 was a godsend during bad weather.

Capt. Chris, what is the shallowest the boat can move through? 2 how many crew does the boat use? Does this boat have any sleep compartments or a galley? Can this boat go from fresh water to salt water? If these boats are sold to the general public, what site can they be found at? Thank you...

[@AskCaptainChris]

Shallow water has concerns different than a standard propeller driven boat. The IMPELLER sucks water up and then out through the jet drive nozzle. When in very shallow water it will suck up trash such as sea shells, beer cans, rope and other debris laying down there in the shallows. 2. Unsure about the crew size but there may be 2 crews aboard, the operating crew and the boarding crew to inspect vessels while the operating crew follows behind the boat being boarded. 3. Do not know if there are sleeping quarters aboard since these boast are usually operated from a shore base and the crew sleeps at the base or private residence.

Capt were i can buy Used boat like this

[@AskCaptainChris]

As this was over 3 years ago I couldn’t say. I suggest you go on line to BoatTrader or YachtWorld. Or maybe work with a boat broker. Good luck on your search.

Yep, my old CG-313 was signed off on the 40, 30 and 17ft boats at my first unit. We got a 41 (41449) early summer but missed that LOUD and SLOW 40ft UTB
