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
might also be a few at Tarpon Springs but I'm not sure.

Glad you liked the Hooters. :-)

Highlight of the trip, actually. (-:
