This is Amazing.
Can you imagine leaving a Tampa marina in a 21ft flats boat and heading to Frankfurt, Germany!!!!
Well, that is exactly what these crazy brothers did to raise money for the military and to get some recognition for their boat company.
The two brothers are Florida residents named Ralph Brown, 50 at the time, and his brother Robert Brown, 52 at the time, and the boat they used to cross the Atlantic was made by their company Dream Boats (The Intruder 21′), which is owned by Ralph.
The Brown brothers say that their boat is the smallest powered boat to have ever crossed the Atlantic, and that their 21-footer will enter the Guinness Book of Records.
Their trip started in Tampa, FL and took a total of 76 days, ending Sept. 10th in Landstuhl, Germany
Check out the footage below…

Thanks for the link I enjoyed that. Having spent spent some time in nasty seas in a MUCH larger vessel all I can say is that took BIG BRASS ones!!! Worthy cause and I loved the duct tape and zip tie repairs!!
I once visited a place where BBQ was a verb, Canadian whiskey was the norm and no sweet tea on the menu. Hell on earth for a Southern boy!!
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites
