Hell, I wish I knew where there was such a derelict boat. It would be

a hundred bucks in shells just for the fun of being a wannabe

We need to send this to them. They invite such projects. Except, we'd
have
beer.

Maximun range is about a mile. Chances of even one hit with a
reasonable number of rounds? How big a target? How big a spotting
scope? Ten inch cassegrain?

See what I mean? At maximum distance, it would be hard to just hit the
thing, let alone punch a hole below the water line. I think there would
be
a lot of entry wounds on deck.

The hole under the waterline might be made from the top ;-)

As for the CG being able to break an outboard block with a shotgun,
nobody said they are using your grand daddy's deer slug.
They may be shooting one of those rounds the cops use to break door
locks.
