What can the hive mind here discern about this boat?

Seems odd that -- given its size -- it would go unreported and unidentified for so long.

Very odd indeed.

[MV Wanderlust]

Well, that is peculiar.

Mighty clean, to be un-loved. [emoji848][emoji848][emoji848]

It might be part of the remains of the boat that capsized off Puerto Rico during the hurricane. If you scroll down there is a photograph of the hull

The image from the OP shows 5 blades props. The image in the video in your link shows 4 blade props.

I wonder, was this part of a cut up hull that was washed out to sea during one of the recent hurricanes?

[HopCar]

Someone will need to board it and get more information. Those props will be worth salvaging.

[Cheechako]

Well, that looks pretty darn big and those are very expensive props so I doubt it was something that was scrapped without removing that stuff.

Drugs!

[Capt. Ray]

It would help if they could have reported something really simple and useful to know, such as is the hull steel, fibreglass etc...

The sealed bails are what's keeping it afloat !

[Alastair A]

I'm only in Australia, but at this end of the Pacific, and with this many props and blades... it can only likely mean one thing. I trust that local knowledge may be better and closer to the source of local contraband running storm risks on the "off chance" for a fast delivery. Cheers all CF. A.

Can we claim savage rights on the cargo?
