I believe that the boat was rigged to kill no one in particular. It would have been luck if it was Rachel or Frank, but mostly it would have caused panic and confusion. During this time it was easier to gain entry to the house and make the kill. In the darkness the killer went after a female figure and got the wrong one. Most of the scene was about confusion and chance and it played out very well. It was a game to the killer who had plenty of opportunity to kill her but after Miami it became personal and he wanted her to feel fear before she died.

There is a scene in the original script with Rachel, Fletcher and Frank on that boat.

Yeah, I agree with that statement that the boat was rigged for Frank so that Rachel would be an easier target to get to. There wasnt a timed explosion on the boat either, It was set to explode when the boat stopped moving.

I would say it wasn't meant to kill anyone. What happened was exactly what the killer intended. I believe it was remote detonated, for them all to see and hear it right then, so to cause increased panic, basically toying with them, to let them know he had found them.

the boat was rigged so that when the motor started the bomb was activated. the motor was rigged to then stop a few minutes later, coughing and spluttering, so that whoever was on it would be crouched over the motor trying to get it restarted when the bomb went off, thus ensuring it killed whoever was in the boat.
