Cant recall if they do or not but i think i remember seein one near the boat house off s. River. The Coast guard does have an enclosed air rescue boat and Harsens Island Fire rescue has a standard air boat. Clay twp / Fair haven had one but they lost it in a rescue a couple years back.
MCS basic inventory: Acouple patrol boats (center console and semi-enclosed, jet ski's, jet boat, inflatables (special ice rescue), aluminum john boats.
Why do ya ask?

It had a bunch of wheels on it - they were driving down the road- they were coming south on Bridgeview then east on South River - maybe from SANG. (looked like an APC with wheels). The Macomb Co. Sheriff has quite a few boats - I heard one instance where MSP was going to escort MASH with their shallow draft boat to the Coast Guard Headquaters in Detroit - but the sheriff's SUV went past the MSP car at Moross to fast for MSP to catch up.brianw83 said:Hover craft or air boat? Keep in mind the Coast guard Airboat looks almost like a massive hover craft, only it doesnt have the kevlar skirt around the sides [they thought it was too girlyjust kiddin ]

I saw them too... they both looked like Macomb County SD vehicles
If you get over by the Macomb County jail, on the north side of the jail, the SWAT team has a couple wheeled and tracked vehicles there for operations.

The two I saw one had Macomb markings on it and the other had no markings. It looked like they were coming from SANG.kc8bdk said:

They have tested vehicles at the Harley Ensign boat launch at the end of South River Road. They are in New Haven.... not too far...
If you go to the picture pages, they have pics there of the 4x4 and the 8x8x8 swimming. I was at work that day and it looked like an old dreadnaught that could come out of the water.
And Detroit PD wants one of these.. HAHAHAHAHA.. can you say "Hello, Mutual Aid"

The Mrs. wants a test drive!!
Yeah, I work for the DNR at the boat launch during the summer, and at the fisheries office during the winter. So I spend a lot of time on South River.

Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties each received an old surplus armored personnel carrier from the Army this year, for free.

GPV location.
Comcast is off of Gratiot north of 26 Mile Rd. They are in the 1st building on the far left as you turn off of Gratiot. They are testing the vehicles all the time. Oakland County Sheriff just bought one from them a few months ago. I seen it at Clarkston H.S. at a simulated terrorist attack back in August. At that time it was not in service yet.
