Ye olde cigarette boats.
Not a highly effective choice for an attack craft, I’d think.
Not much payload.
Not much storage needed for a mighty powerful blast of plastique. Up against a bridge piling, in a military harbor, the imagination boggles.
Almost 40 years ago my late husband bought a former Prohibition rum runner in the Atlantic City area. Man that boat had sleek lines and a V-8 pontiac motor installed. When you ran it up to full speed, the V shaped prow sprung out of the water as the boat tilted to a 30% angle. What fun. I could imagine the rum runners taking her out to the 12 mile limit and then creeping back to the marshes to unload for the AC casino business.
Not much payload in a cigarette boat? Really? I guess it was just fairy tales how they were used to haul tons of dope from the 1970s on.
Boat thefts are not uncommon, Florida then California having the highest indidents of theft.
These were particularly easy since they were trailered and all the thieves had to do was pull their truck up, hook up the trailer hitch and take off.....
Add a new paint job and they'll likely go up for sale to some unsuspecting buyer or be kept for personal use by the thieves......
A second option might be that they'll be used to run drugs .....
