I spent three months on a jet boat on the Euphrates river, in Iraq.

I'm going to need some of the back story on this.
Hmmm. Back story. Well. 9/11 happens, then Marines get sent to Iraq. I was with a unit known as Small Craft company. Our job was to secure the water ways. The Euphrates river was one of them. Spent three months patrolling and getting into fire fights. Here is a pic!

Thanks! Mkbcaptain.
I ran from Key Largo to Summerland Key back to Islamarada one day about 150 miles. It was very nice.
Islamarada to Cujie Key also another 140 miles.
Up the Hudson River to Kingston and down to the city 100 miles.
it is great I would like a larger fuel tank
