33’ U.S. Navy Special Operations Riverine Assault Boat (RAB)Diesel Powered with Hamilton Jet Drives40+ knot performance with only a 2’ draft Own the legend. Rare opportunity to own an operational U.S. Navy Special Warfare (SWCC) Riverine Assault Boat (RAB). This remarkable craft has been restored to its operating condition by an investment of funds, time and talent. You can add this unique watercraft to your collection at a fraction of its replacement cost. You might enjoy this vessel “as is” – or creatively imagine the re-purposing possibilities it represents. For starters you might replace the original camouflage paint scheme (which remains in good repair) with a look and feel suiting your unique marine needs and vision. This vessel retains, among other things, its ballistic protections, weapon mounts (sans weapons), and communications and other surveillance infrastructure. Contracted acquisition cost on the RAB was $1.4 million. Potential operational uses:SWAT / Law enforcement / Security Training / Gov’t contractor / DOE / DODTowing / Recovery or other commercial purposesTourism / Entertainment / Party – float boat, tour boat, parasail, etc. Duck huntingFishingYacht tenderDive / Search and Rescue Unique valuable design features include: Twin Yanmar Diesel Engines with low hours Hamilton Jet drives - capable of stopping within a single boat length Incredibly quiet operation Operational range of 250 miles BoatMaster RTT Triple-axle rough terrain trailer Armored hull Furuno Radar GPS WAAS Chart Plotter Fish Finder Net Work Weather Facsimile Furuno Sounder Wired for SEA FLIR III (note: SEA FLIR III available for purchase at additional cost) Enormous power generation capability - for accessories, sound system, etc Think outside the box. Arrive in style, own something different. Maybe you already own a top-of-the-line Cigarette, Tiara, Formula, Chris Craft, Regal or Mastercraft. None of those quality vessels would, however, reliably transport or protect U.S. Navy Seal operators in battle. This RAB, with its incredible capabilities and pedigree, needs a new home – it could be yours. The brackets on top of the gunwale are for holding the removable armor package. These brackets can be removed or the additional armor can be purchased at a later date. The BoatMaster RTT trailer has not been painted as the buyer of the RAB might choose an alternate color.

I have been purchasing surplus government equipment for over twenty years and have completed over 4000 successful transactions. I have learned a few things during this period, to include that it is quite risky to purchase untested equipment, especially something as complex and well built as this boat. In this instance, prior to the vessel’s sale, U.S. Navy personnel removed a myriad of components and took other steps to decommission this vessel. Luckily the boat still retained its primary components to include the engines, transmissions and water jet drives – all of which proved to have low hours. That having been said, the vessel proved to be far from operational and it has taken three months, the expenditure of tens of thousands of dollars on parts, and hundreds of hours of technical work, to get this RAB back into operational condition. The boat is now back in fighting form and I am looking for someone special to steward it through the next chapter in its life. Are you qualified? I encourage you to come visit. This boat is ITAR restricted and cannot be exported. Buyer must be a US Citizen. 33’ RIVERINE ASSAULT BOAT (RAB) DESCRIPTION GSA (US $) 33' RAB Base Boat 33’ Riverine Assault Boat (RAB) $ 585,537.05 Hull Equipment Options Swim Platform STD Propulsion Equipment Options Yanmar 440 HP with 6LY2A STP + ZF Drives (Qty 2) $ 162,688.53 Hamilton H292 Waterjet (Qty 2) $ 63,408.97 Engine Monitoring/Alarm Panel, with Gauges Installed STD Emergency Steering System STD Integral Fuel Tank - 250 gallons STD Fuel Key and Pouch, (2) Fuel Fills (Port & Std) and Fuel Vents STD Electrical Equipment Options Standard 24V Electrical System STD Lighting, including: Navigation Lighting, Anchor Light , Engine Room/Waterjet Compartment Light and Deck Lights STD IR Headlights $ 1,330.12 IR Strobe Light and Strobe Flasher Power Supply $ 3,609.20 Engine Room Blowers STD Shorepower/Battery Charger (Portable) STD Electronic Equipment Options Compass STD Radar Arch with Integrated Electronic Navigation Package Complete (See (1) below for list of components) $ 27,341.58 Upgrade Radar Arch for antenna, FLIR sensor installation and FLIR cabling (FLIR Sensor and Cables - GFE) $ 2,609.37 DESCRIPTION GSA (US $) 33' RAB Electronic Equipment Options Rack Mounted Docking Stations - Installed $ 10,986.68 Mechanical System Equipment Options Emergency Steering System STD Manual Method for Sounding Fuel Tanks STD Auxiliary Equipment Options Seawater Strainer System $ 5,135.31 Self Cleaning Seawater Strainer System $ 7,735.92 Bilge System (See Note (4) Below) STD HSRC System STD Trim Tabs STD Fast Lube Oil Change System (FLOCS) Pump $ 1,224.87 Outfit and Furnishing Equipment Options Console and Console Access Hatch STD Bolster Frame & Seating STD Forward Stowage Hatch STD Mid-Forward Stowage Hatch STD Engine Hatches and Armor protection with air intakes STD Waterjet Access Hatches STD Self Bailing Deck Scuppers (4) STD Ladder $ 1,385.96 DESCRIPTION GSA (US $) 33' RAB Outfit and Furnishing Equipment Options Non-Skid Surface – Treadmaster & Ensolite Form $ 5,598.95 Fire Extinguishing Equipment ( 1-Chemical and 2-CO2, with bags) STD Flotation Foam STD Bow Eye Pendant $ 616.31 Tow Post (Aft) $ 2,055.06 Cathodic Protection System $ 528.40 Hasty Tow $ 190.86 Long Tow w/Tow Bridles $ 1,427.73 Cargo Folding Padeyes (8) STD Boat Tiedown Rings STD Handrail System STD Anchor Marine, Aluminum and Anchor/Towline $ 709.40 Mooring Pockets (2 Fwd and 2 Aft) STD Hook, Boat, 3 1/2' to 8' Deluxe STD U.S Flag (16” x 24”) STD Horn STD Ring Buoy, Unicellular, 20"D Type IV STD Lightning Rod STD Covers/Equipment Bags DESCRIPTION GSA (US $) 33' RAB Covers/Equipment Bags Transport/Air Transport Options Ruggedized Off Road Trailer Boatmaster $ 42,771.78 Weapon and Armor Options Light Weight Armor - Above and Below Deck $ 87,432.24 Installation electrical connections for GAU 17 Ammo Feeder $ 1,801.43 Provisions for installation of GFE MK 49 Mod 0 Gun Weapon System (ROSAM) $ 5,038.52 Provisions for Smoke Grenade Launcher System $ 12,355.35 Paint Options Bottom Paint – Black Anti-fouling below the waterline $ 2,563.67 Upgrade to Camoflauge Paint Scheme $ 9,641.24 NOTES: (1) Radar Arch w/Navigation consists of: - Furuno 1834C Chart Plotter Series, 10" CRT NAVNET Radar - Furuno Integrated Heading Sensor - Compass - Furuno Video Interface Kit - Furuno BBFF1 Network Sounder - Furuno Transducer 520-PLD (3) Advanced Electronics - Installation of wiring and power hookups for GFE IFF, IR, PLGR, Smoke Launcher and Comms (4) Bilge System consists of: - Manual Submersible Bilge Pumps (Qty 2) - Little Pal Multi-Purpose Hand Pump (Qty 1) - 3700 GPH Submersible Bilge Pumps (Qty 6) _gsrx_vers_859 (GS 7.0.21 (859))
