That used to be parked in West Palm all the time. I was the captain, not the owner. I would have loved to hear the conversation between them after that episode.
Ooops, sorry, I forgot to tell you I was going to run 500lbs of cocaine back from the Bahamas. I meant to tell you, it slipped my mind.

Sadly the resale on the boat was tough due to the history. I knew the broker trying to sell it and had been aboard while he was trying to sell it.

28 ft Mako is high profile?
I could see the argument the 106 yacht was blatantly obvious but most cops wouldn't think someone would risk a 3mm yacht seizure trying to run drugs.
Jetskis are harmless........can't pack any immigrants aboard nor can you bring more than a backpack of drugs back. Officials are interested in quantities, jet skis don't offer that!
I would think crossing in a high traffic holiday weekend (Memorial day-Labor day) in the summer months would overwhelm the agencies but they would add staff those weekends too......its just an odds game. Yacht guy made multiple trips and only got caught on the last one. His sentence was never reported in the paper and a search in the federal inmate database doesn't show him in custody......my guess is he flipped, cops arrested more up the chain of supply/demand. Guy in the Mako story got out Oct 2015, looks like his adventure cost him 10 years of his life.
