I received quite the scare today with finding a raccoon in our boat. The batteries died and we have been checking on it (husband had surgery and have not used boat in a few months) and manually running the bilge. I reached under to find the handle on the bilge, couldn't find it and looked under to find a raccoon staring out at me.
Since the boat was for sale, we think the salesman showed it and left it open for a few hours and then covered it not knowing the raccoon was in the bilge area.
It all ended well, but thought you might enjoy a few pictures of our evicted tenant. The man in the pictures is the marina owner who kindly took care of the problem.

Its a very good thing that the 'Coon took the eviction so well. They can be rather poor tempered when they are scared or cornered, especially in tight spaces.
