From The USCG Website-
The 47′ motor lifeboat is designed as a first response rescue resource in high seas, surf & heavy weather environments. They are built to withstand the most severe conditions at sea and are capable of effecting a rescue at sea even under the most difficult circumstances. They are self-bailing, self-righting, almost unsinkable, and have a long cruising radius for their size. It is the replacement for the aging 44′ MLB fleet.
Length: 47 feet
Special Characteristics: Self-righting
(if overturned, the vessel will return to an upright position in 30 seconds or less)
