Hi Jonty,
The closest I can find with the red/white stripe is possibly the smallest of the ARES Hercules for Qatar (Hercules 75) but the layout suggests the middle one (Hercules 110). https://ares.global/media-center/news/rolls-royce-mtu-to-power-ares-shipyards-qatari-coast-guard-boats

This one appears to have a single waterjet.

There are loads on various Forums in the USA but most have been overloaded with speed beans!

Is it meant to be based on anything real or a "word I know can't be used" version of a SAR33 type boat? It seems as close to it as much as it is far off from it?
