How someone escaped from border guards in Ventspils on a self-built boat

There was a guy who really liked fast boats and he built all kinds of boat motors and tried them out. But since it was such a suspicious little place in a seaside town by the open sea, the guy regularly made friends with border guard officers and often met with them and regularly drank some schnapps together. He especially didn't hide from the military that he liked motors and water sports. So once the guy managed to get an old Volga car engine somewhere, properly wedged it and installed it on his motorboat. Since the Volga engine is not small, then the motorboat must have been decent too. So one evening, while drinking schnapps again with the border guard officers, the guy boasted that he now had a fast motorboat. Since the guests must have had more schnapps in their heads, they offered a bet – which was faster, the border guard patrol boat or the motorboat? The loser had to buy a case of schnapps! The guy was at peace. They went out to sea, the competition began. It turned out that in the calm sea the patrol boat quickly fell behind the fast motorboat and, after a short turn, returned to the port.... the officers threw money and sent for a box of vodka, which was brought back a moment later. Then they realized that there was no winner after all. They drank that vodka too and ... forgot about the rest, but the guy was already so far away that they couldn't catch him anymore.... Apparently he had prepared seriously for this operation and his friendship with the vodka-loving border guards was a well-planned trick. The case was hushed up, but the officer responsible for the state border lost his stars from his shoulders.
