Post Al Capone's Cigarette Boat

1928 Robinson Sea Gull 38 footer - went well with his new estate on Palm Island, FL. Originally bought by Ransom Olds, who sold it to Capone after the stock market crash of 1929 - she was recently found and restored. Now for sale at $385K, "Mert" was first named the "Flying CLoud" by the Olds Family after a success car model, and was sold by Capone to make good on his overdue tax bill - can you say RICO?
