maybe we should factor in, that the boat, apparently, was bought so that Gibson (King Eric) could own it (rumor has it, it’s at Gibson’s dock, not either Anna house) - I’ve heard a reference the other day, that the boat was Gibson’s to begin with, but we know that’s incorrect, because it was an ‘american’ seller, with Stern on the phone to the broker when he supposedly got the call from Moe. If it was Gibsons to begin with, we have no need for trips to florida or boat brokers. so...... What would ‘cracker’ mean to King Eric?

Maybe the boat was to be payment for working on the fixup house? Sounds about right....no cash stash shows.

The boat broker was going to give info that was favorable to his “clients”.

The boat was being refurbished at the brokers. We don’t know who the boat actually belonged to prior to the purchase. If it was a shady deal to get money to the Gibsons (for whatever favors might be being rendered) this would be an easy way to do it without raising eyebrows.

The boat was re-christened “The Cracker” by HKS and ANS and I don’t know what its original name or owner was originally.

If we knew that we should be able to look it up in the Florida records as Florida boats have to have numbers on them.

Is the Cracker Bahamian registered now?
