Boat on I 55 project
 

There is a large offshore? Maybe old race boat on a trailer on the east side of I55 just south of Springfield lake in IL. I think it's been there for maybe ten years and not been moved. It's like gray and blue with no drives. Anyone know the story?

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's an old Navy hsb. Pretty sure it's been there way longer than 10 years, but I don't know the story on that particular boat. Does it look like this?

Yup it has been there forever.

Been there since I was a kid, at least 20yr

I Remember passing fields of those things sitting up in Norfolk all stripped with holes in the side 20 years ago.

Agreed. It seems like it has been there forever.

Ya, it's almost a landmark at this point.
