Lol!

All aboard....! 😅😉😎✌🏼

I was thinking that also a great way to blend in with law enforcement maybe they will think your one of them so they wont bother you as much

the Crown Vic of boats..

hahahahahahaah damn. so smooth.

Except the flir camera. It takes a special kind of "genius" to paint a heat sensitive camera black...

@@campandcook3118 Even if the camera is radiating 'extra' heat, it's not coming into the lens the way you are imagining. It does not matter what color you paint a flir camera, or if you wrap it in aluminum foil, or whatever tf you want to do it... As long as the lens is not obstructed, it's fine. What you don't want, is any surfaces (like a white base or interior around the lens) reflecting light into the lens.

@@n0madtv I've worked extensively with flir camera integrations, most of the time to check mechanical and electrical parts during tests and regular checks during operation. Your entirely wrong, the camera sensor inside the camera needs to be as cold as possible. The warmer the sensor, the less sensitivity and contrast you will have. Try it yourself, light a candle and see from how far your hand feels the heat source. Then stick it in ice water, dry it, then hold it slowly closer to the candle. A cold hand feels the difference between room temperature and radiation from the candle farther away. Sensors are either cooled by a fan, liquid or passive. With active cooling, you can see that the contrast increases with lower sensor temperature. A black housing in direct sunlight can reach temperatures over 100C - that's why most maritime housings are reflective white.

@@campandcook3118 Right, because the temperature of the sealed internals can get that hot. It has absolutely nothing to do with the color of the external housing (in most cases). A camera like this will have solid state cooling inside with the housing thermally insulated up to a specified temperature. Marine camera's are usually white because literally everything marine is usually white. ALL thermal cameras have non-reflective black material around the lens and any surface that might reflect towards the lens, even when designed for daylight use. Any form of insulation is more than enough to negate color related absorption. They are also primarily intended for use at night and in foggy/low-vis conditions. Running a thermal like this during the day is pointless unless you're scanning for a Man Overboard or something of that nature. If it's not a cheap housing, there is no reason it can't be any color you want. A black housing will absorb infrared and radiate the heat back out! It does not conduct heat into the internals.

Buddy as a fellow Coastie that legit just screams properly made 33’ interceptor that is missing it’s 3rd engine.

Thank you!

the system detected that you are rich!

Thank you!

We agree.. We have been rubbing nickels...

Thank you!

Supplies from Canada opens up their bidding for Cdn. Coast Guard contracts and Fisheries Dept. It's smart. Plus there are govt. export grants from your USA side and more grants from the Cdn. side. The Zodiac builder in Victoria just had my brother drive an inflatable down to LA to the US Coast Guard and the Port of LA. Smart business, exp. now.

Check the bead on those welds....what utterly beautiful work, just a true tear-jerker.
