Those are crab boats. * The framework is to support the crab traps
when they are stacked on the back deck.

The big shrimp boat fleet is further south at Ft Myers beach. * There

Glad you liked the Hooters. * :-)


Yep, pretty good sized shrimp fleet at Tarpon Springs, and the docks
at Tarpon are beautiful.
