Wow, you don't see that kind of thing around here, not even a tug being pulled backwards.

Looks like something used more for transporting South American cocaine than recreation.

Looks like one of these:

http://www.wally.com/wally-118/

Wally//118 is arguably the most distinctive and fastest motor yacht in the world.

Its three gas turbine engines produce 17,000 horsepower, propelling the 118 to more than 60 knots. With its striking vertical bow it cuts through the water with unmatched stability and control so that even at high speeds the experience is pure Wally.

Looks more like a high speed, stealth boat used for drug smuggling.

Yeah, sleek in the same way the Batmobile/Batboat is sleek, lol. That thing may be fast, but it's ugly as sin, especially the pilothouse.

I'd say military, smuggling or made for a movie

LOL - have you even looked at the manufacturers web page? It was built in 2002 - they make a ton of megabuck sleek sail and power yachts.

I need that, but I'd probably have to dedicate one of my oil refineries just to provide the fuel...so guess I'll stay with my jon boat!;)

My thoughts exactly... especially given the geographic location and transom design for pushing off or bringing large "bundles" aboard.

Oldjeep nailed the ID, but that baby looks like it was run hard and put away wet. So I would guess it has spent some time singing the Smuggler's Blues.
