idea, uh well... i guess he did, and take an old 80' gulf shrimper
down there. most have 15-25 thousand gallon fuel tanks PLUS area galor
in the hold and monster space for a deck load.

But noooo. he wanted to be a coffee captain.

Bob you are so FN stupid with your idiotic suggestion. (nothing new)

Why would anyone risk 20 years in prison for smuggling such a low
profit item?

Diesel is 2.50 a gallon now in Mexico, you could only sell it black
market for 4.00 if you are lucky.

So if you can do the math (which I doubt) you would see you only get
37,500 profit per trip from the fuel @ 25,000 gallons. a typical
trawler @ 80 ft would burn approx 840 gallons a day, X 10 days round
trip or 8,400 gallons removing 17,500 from your profit. Paid crew,
grub, wear and tear another 5 K per trip.

So leaving you a grand total of profit around 15,000 dollars per
trip. And a dumb ass dork like you would risk 20 years in the slammer
for 15 K. No wonder you spend your time at bus stops.

You may not have a life outside prison woth anything but Joe does I
would bet.

With an 80 ft sailboat you could carry 40,000 lbs of coffee.
Coffee can bring 7 a pound pure profit.
At 40,000 lbs thats 280,000 dollars profit on the cargo. Remove 10K
for fuel and legal paper work ect you have 270,000 dollars profit per
trip and no risk of jail time.

Again Bob, like Nealbur you will never muster up the balls to do
anything but sit on your hemmoroid laiden asses and critize those who
do. Start using your head for something other than greasing up pillow
cases.
