I encountered this oddity washed up on Long Island, Bahamas in Thompson Bay - any ideas what it is? This is a real photo. A year later I found out what it is.

There seems to be a lot of photo shop work on that one. Not just the outboards.

I agree, John. It looks to me like the greenhouse, tuna tower, flowers, porta-pottie, storage shed and outboards were all shopped. Anything else?

It makes a funny picture, though. Is that your work, Rick?

You're right, sctpc, that wasn't photoshopped. Here's another pic of the same lovely vessel. You have to wonder if the fly bridge is connected to the outboard, or is just there for show.

The pics were taken 4 years ago in the anchorage off Dinner Key in Miami.
