State Game Wardens Ready to Patrol the River

I happened to be at Clearwater Park at the time when a couple of Oregon's Game Wardens (State Police) were getting ready to patrol the Willamette River and check on fishermen, etc. I asked them about their boat because I heard it as one of them checked it out on the river, and it sounded powerful. They told me that it had a 350 Chevy in it. Lots of power for that boat! It's fast! It also has an outboard motor for shallow water. Here they are just about to pull away.

I'll bet it goes faster than you'd think, given its plain-jane utilitarian look. ;-)

That would indeed be a very fast boat.

With a 350 engine it might almost be an airplane!

They mean business with a boat that has a 350 Chevy, great shot Vern. ~V~

Very interesting photo and commentary. That's quite a motor to be pushing that small craft around, eh? Vote.

A good catch, it looks impressive, nice light reflecting on the water.

Oh, I thought they were checking the boat for excess fish! Great shot Vern, love the light on the water. v

Interesting narrative and capture of these state police at work. I had no idea they patrolled the river, too.
