HI-tech Stealth Boat Abandoned?

[Psychobroker]

I'm an Art Bell and Coast-to-Coast A.M. fan, so this kind of stuff is very intriguinging to me..real or not in this case:http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page583.htmlWhat do you guys think?

I would have liked to be the one to found an abandoned stealth boat. That thing is awesome!

Oh I'd be hooking that trailer up and hauling it off haha

My guess would be that it is a home-built, created to look "stealth" either just for fun, or because the builders planned to or did use it for drug smuggling and thought the shape might help avoid detection. In either case, it was likely stolen and stripped for parts; the thief or thieves abandoning the empty hull, figuring that the shape was too unusual to go unrecognized. (I wouldn't want it my front yard when the P.O.'d former owners happened by...)

I'd have to agree with MadBill. I don't think the goverment (if it was actually built by them) would just leave an abandoned project in the middle of a church parking lot. If that was the case, they could dump a Comanchee(sp?) in my back yard if they want.

Sounds like a fake story to me. Looks more like someones garage version of a "jet racing boat". If some big company did a boat like that and did not want it anymore they would not abandon it, probably crush it. Auto manfs. have to do just that when cars have been used for certain things i.e. engineering purposes. They can get sued if they do not destory cars or parts and they end up in the hands of Joe Public. Nevertheless, still a neat article and pics.

I will have to concur on this with everybody else. It looks homemade to me as well.I remember seeing on a car tv show that somebody had made a stealth car himself out of fiberglass. Looked almost like that, can't find a picture of it though.

I agree about it's "homely" look. I believe you can still see MDF boards painted in it, but it does have a cool design, and it'd be great if one of us could find a true abandoned (And ownerless ) stealth boat.

I pretty much concur with you guys, but it looks like the turbine's still in the boat, unless that's just a housing. Either way, probably not too cheap.
