Peoria's new Fireboat 199 (FB199)

1 post in this topic

Peoria's new FB199 is in town, being prepped to go to Lake Pleasant.  It is replacing the 2012 Harbor Guard 26' fiberglass boat that is starting to show it's age (wouldn't you after spending eight straight years in the Arizona sun?).  

The new boat is a 30' aluminum drop bow built by Munson Boats in Washington State.

Twin 300hp Suzuki outboards for propulsion (old boat had twin Mercury 225's)

V6 inboard powering a Darley 1000gpm pump (same spec as old boat, IIRC, except I think the old boat had a waterjet output from the inboard for extra propulsion)

No, the "new" photos were NOT taken at Lake Pleasant :-)

I don't know the ultimate disposition of the old boat (reserve? sell? other?), but I'll update this topic as I find out.
