20 Seavette

[BigLew]

I know where one 27' SeaVette went, and where it sank, within about 10 miles or so on the city shoreline. I know that it sank in fresh/brackish water, about 15' deep, at an up-river hotel dock on the Senegal river in what is now St. Louis, Senegal, and that while it was dis-armed, it was not raised.

BTW, it was powered by twin MerCruiser small-block V8 Ford motors, according to one source, and was delivered to a US governmental agency for anti-pirate operations. No-kidding.

Is that the one I read about that had a piece of artillery mounted under the deck which was fired with all the hatches shut and the seams blew apart from the expansion of gases in the cabin? Supposedly it was some covert military mission.
