Yes I know it's not a boat .. but we had a B-17 Bomber from World War 2
land nearby this summer.  Here are some photos I took that day:

I know some of you are pilots and will enjoy this.

Good grief, Fred, you allowed the world a perfect view of the SUPER SECRET
Norden bombsight!  Where's your common sense?

I have to snicker a bit about the 8,000 pound bomb load.  The B-52Fs in which I was crew in 1965 carried 27 1,000 pound bombs in the bomb bay and 12 750 pounders on each wing!

Sorry Rich, but that wasn't a security breach at all.  The entire specs and
design of the Norden were given away by Hogans Heros in this episode:

You can watch the entire episode or jump to minute 22:30 and see just the
Norden thing.

Thanks Fred, sometimes it doesn't have to be all about the boat.  Cropdusted using the engine of one for years (Bull Thrush), and had lunch with a ball turret gunner (now 90) just a couple days ago.
