Everyone I have seen in 23 years has had a pointed snout

That is probably because you have not spent much time slogging through the freshwater aguadas and pantanos inland, where the slightly broader-snouted moreletii hang out. Since you are on the ocean a lot, you are much more apt to be familiar with the acutus (with the more pointed snout) since they are at home in the saltwater and frequently cruise along the shore.
 
LIVE UPDATE: Croc spotted today off Palancar Pier!
I'm sure the local crocs will continue moving between swamps as long as they have viable populations in the northern and southern ends of the island, and good that they do as that prevents genetic bottlenecks. With so much development on land and around cenotes, it's easier to swim.

With all of the developments, cities and dams along hundreds of miles of the Trinity River in Texas, they continue to find gators even north of Dallas, like this week:

LIVE UPDATE: Croc spotted today off Palancar Pier![/]
I saw it today. It was pretty cool.

I was with Jay, by the way great person to dive with, on Aldora boat.
Interesting to see croc and beach goers run from a small croc and then chase it down beach for photos.
