All weather capability.
Able to transport 24 Marines.
Tested from the Arctic to the jungles in Brazil. The Watercat 12 is a winner.
Small Boats doesn't get more business because it conduct operations the same way everyone else does. It even has the same equipment.
Don't get me wrong. The Marines shouldn't buy the Watercat because it will give them a "new" toy but because it will expand the reach of the Boat Company...make them competitive with rotary winged aviation in many scenarios and set the stage for operations in the Pacific.
