I suspect the "Armour", is some kevlar panels on the inside of the fiberglass hull. Likely more for the protection of the crew than the boat. The boat looked like a Boston Whaler (or a variant thereof). You could shoot holes in one of those all day long, (as long as they're above the water line) and you ain't sinking shit.

Drink the beer, not the water.
But you're right. It's in the middle. Maybe during a lull in the fire fight, the State Troopers can break out a tape measure...

I hope they got some kind of training from somebody besides an old VHS copy of Apocalypse Now.

And now we get down to the tacks of brass.
I'm not concerned about international incidents, hurt feelwings, or "the children". I'm concerned that some douche bag is going to say, "fuck your boat, I know a dude with a tank".
Go big or stay home.
