Hopefully, I can capture a few of the boats down here in Charleston that SV has posted already. I know of a few he's missed, but I do know quite a few that he's posted. You can still find "Hugo" boats if you ride up the rivers a little bit.
What's a Hugo boat?

They are pretty much gone now, but for a long time there were lots of warnings and "how-to-tell" spots on the news here about "Floyd cars" which were cars that were flooded by Hurricane Floyd a few years ago. It left standing water in much of Eastern NC that didn't recede for quite a while. A Floyd car would be the perfect thing for pulling your Hugo boat.

I took this picture with my grammy in 93' when I was seven, so you can tell that my fascination with this type of thing goes back a ways haha. This is in Fort Lauderdale just off Marina Mile, long gone now. I also have pictures from the boat yard that have a couple trashed mega yachts from Andrew.
