She had been seized due to running contraband (drugs). Personally I consider drug runners/dealers worse then murderers but that's a whole other subject. So, without further ado, this is as she was listed:

Yes, another bidder, a used yachts dealer, was interested in her too but since he wished to leave himself a significant margin I was able to both outbid him and get her for roughly 60% of what the surveyor later assessed as a "fair market value".
As you can imagine, I was a happy camper. More pictures will follow soon.
