[StartQuote] Andy; VERY interesting! It is amazing, while this boat was not officially accepted into Navy service, I can see design features on this craft that are on craft like the Medium SEAL Support Craft(MSSC) which was operated by Mobile Support Teams, MST 1, MST 2, and MST 3 in Vietnam. Then the follow on Mini ATC(Armored Troop Carrier),engine set up was twin 8V92TA and jet drives. These boats were handed down to SBU 22/24/11 and up until the 1990's in NSW. I can also see design features on this boat that are on the current Special Operations Craft-Riverine(SOCR). Even though both of these boats are 36' long, both of these boats ride as your research says C378 does, smooth settling ride in heavy seas and they also trip or skid in high speed turns. the MSSC was a outdrive set up with twin 427 Chevrolet engines. The SOCR is jet drive with twin 440hp Yanmar diesels. Nice work! Take care, TED [EndQuote]
