Dubbed operation Banco, the members were arrested and tried, leaving behind a bevy of top of the line luxury vessels including this 60’ fishing dream. 
  • This particular boat was meticulously maintained on a very regular basis so that a mechanical failure would never be an issue in the middle of a drug run. The waterlines on the boat were removed and placed higher so that when heavily laden it would appear void of heavy cargo. 
  • As luck would have it, sweet revenge’s luck ran out soon after Operation Banco went down. 
  • The boat was seized and placed in dry storage until sold at auction
