Looks like a phenomenal improvement. Wow!
Nice! Hopefully it's ready to go by the time I get there next month. Thanks for posting the pic.

Nice boat.
Have not been to FI in a decade. Do they still have the the "Li'l Kashi"?
It had a certain charm.

How nice. It won't be the same without the old tugs, but it'll be nice. 
thanks!

Charm? Yeah, like a South American guy in a Speedo. Getting rid of these wretched boats will eliminate a huge stumbling block in any recommendation to this resort.
Bravo, Fantasy Island! Now enact a rule against those Speedo guys!

I was on the Little Kashi on my past two trips to FI. Pedro, the driver of that boat seemed to take decent care of it, although it was out of service for a couple days last year and we had to use another boat.
It will be nice to have some new boats there. Since we have a decent size group this time, hopefully we can persuade Robert to put us on one of the new ones.
Good to see that they can afford new boats even with this economy.

There are new engines for 3 of the boats sitting behind the dive shop right now. Word has it that some of the old boats are going to be refurbished.

I kinda of liked the old tugs with their Banana Republic feel, plenty of room, fast enough to get to the local sites okay, altho I have not been on one in years. The new boat looks very nice, but a bit much for such short rides? I wonder if they have another plan, or just like the flexibility of changing plans as indicated. The new ones could be used to take divers to West End rather than sending the slow boat ahead and divers following in the van, or even to cross the channel to Utila I bet.
"There are new engines for 3 of the boats sitting behind the dive shop right now" does sound like maybe they are planning to keep the old ones which would be fine with good engines I think. Fleet expansion...?
