These HEMTTs aren't carrying helicopters, but they are in the same shot.

I had a chance to pick up some of those boats a while back(for scrap price to boot), but I had no place to store them nor a way to get them home. They certainly ARE bad azz!

GOD I love MILITARY BRIDGING

 

[OEFISHER]

My two favorite hobbies together, boats and MV. Military boat to boot. Now I know I'm going to go broke, just a matter of time. Oh well, I will go happy and with a lot of toys. The question on the day which will run out first, my money or my wife?

There is one of the boats with the shipping cradle for sale in Jack Tomlin's collection on armyjeeps.net.

Because of the length the boat extends past the truck, the vehicle requires a special tail light assembly for highway use, similar to the type used with wreckers. The assembly is basically two composite tail lights on an adjustable bar with special clamps and straps to secure to the boat. An inter-vehicular cable connects the assembly to the truck. Anyway, the company I used to work for has been making them for the past twenty years.
No I cannot supply them or any of the components.
