We leap-frogged a couple coming north in the ICW for 2 days. I got some pics but cannot upload them on the boat's computer. These boats had a sloped transom ramp into the water with a large slot in the middle of it. They could launch and retrieve their inflatable via this ramp while underway.

These boats look ultra-fast, even when idling by us.

A dockmaster told me that when they spend the night, an armored van follows them and while the boat is in an unsecured marina, they remove all weapons and electronics from the vessel and take them away in the van.
