While killing drug smugglers is wrong, actual South American fishermen don't have multiple expensive high powered gas guzzling outboards on their boats, nor do they run at high speed (high gas consumption) and they have lots of fishing gear in evidence, not lots of plastic wrapped packages taking up most of the floor space. Just a single 300hp Mercury outboard is over $32,000.

My 1st job was on a charter fishing boat in the Gulf of Nicoya in Costa Rica and have seen many a local commercial fishing boat for comparison.
