Yarmouth Boat Yard Completes Falmouth Police Boat Re-Fit

Yarmouth Boat Yard recently completed the final stage of a refit to the Falmouth Police Department patrol and rescue boat. The Falmouth Police Department acquired the  2000 Ambar Marine ALSAFE 700 in 2007. The boat was in United States Coast Guard surplus and had been retired in Jonesport.

The experts in the parts and service department began by installing two new Honda outboard engines to provide better reliability and fuel economy. Next, new sponsons were installed to extend the use of the aluminum hull. The final step was to remove all of the finish coats on the boat, strip all of the systems, repair the aluminum deck and coat the hull. The improvements are designed to provide a low-maintenance vessel with maximum efficiency and safety.

The boat will be used for a variety of functions on and around Casco Bay including assisting the Coast Guard with search and rescue missions and helping boats in distress, law enforcement and Homeland Security responsibilities such as escorting cruise ships.

"This boat will perform some critical functions and it is important to have a low-maintenance reliable vessel that is ready to respond, said Alan Twombley of the Falmouth Police Department. "Due to our location we often have a shorter response time than the Coast Guard. The boat will be an great asset in helping keep people safe."

Yarmouth Boat Yard offers boating enthusiasts a turn-key experience offering 150 boat slips, new and used boat sales, storage, parts and service department and showers and restrooms.
