Been there, done that. :D
That's the 55' motor surf boat "Intrepid" at the Motor Lifeboat School at Cape Disappointment, Wa. on the Colombia River inlet.
I went to the school there in 1978. And yes, it IS as fun as it looks. (And 10 times as scary jawdrop )
Hmmmm...Looking at it closer, it may be the "Triumph". They're identical.

IM NOT POSITIVE BUT I THINK THAT BOAT IS ACCTUALY DOING EXERCISES OUT OF CHANNEL ISLAND HARBOR. THEY DO THAT APX THREE BLOCKS SOUTH OF THE BREAK WALL WHEN ITS BIG. I KNOW THAT BREAK VERY WELL AND LIKE I SAID I DONT THINK ITS IT FOR SHURE BUT 95% SHURE.

There's only 2 of those 55' left in the Coast Guard. BOth at Cape "D", and primarily used for surf training.
What you saw was probably the new 47' MLB. They're all aluminum, and rather than being painted white, have the bare hull.
Either that or one of the old 41' patrol boats. When I was stationed at Channel Islands, all they had were 2 41's.

Hey that reminds me of the good ol' days in Humboldt Bay! Nothing like doing live man overboard drills in stuff like that = REAL NERVOUS! The real fun is when you get that distress call around 2am and have to hit that stuff in the dark...thank god for parachute flares, just like sunlight in a tube.
