Thanks for stabi crafts, but we need boats to fight smuggling, to fight illegal fishing menace, to fight undisciplined encroaches. In australia sea,road or air users are more disciplined. An officer may handle single handedly most of the issues. This is Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka navy was handling most ruthless terrorist in the world. It's better to make it a wanted gift than unusable white elephant. Stabi crafts may use only in harbour areas.
