[Jay Smith]

EVAN,
Hopefully you have recorded the engine serial numbers off the blocks and post them so if there are complete engines, drop ons, or blocks being sold people can make sure the sale is not your stuff...

Sorry to hear of your loss !
Jay

[berg969]

no serials on the blocks only the mids they were from 2.4's but i will know the blocks at a glance. welds custom parts etc

[Stealth Assassin]

The bad thing about this Is the motors could be put on a hull and repaired by the owner and never seen again. :nonod:

[skydog]

I had a piece of Heavy equipment stolen once and it turned up on a waterfront pier in NYC. It was being shipped overseas. There is a big market for everything from cars to boats, everything in the overseas markets. I dont know if thier is a alert you can put out, but I would check into it.
Sorry Guy, It is a beautiful boat,!!!:(

[Hottrucks]

I hate to agree with him but check the local ports and notifiy the shipping companies..a big reward helps here.........dock help will rat if you can give them an 800 # to call and post pics of it....a quick call to local union shops ( dock workers) will also get the word out fast and increase your odds.......
A 24 Skater is a stand out boat if it's here it'll show it's pretty face.. Good luck and sorry for your lose...I think I'll lock mine down even living this far north the trash always finds a way

[Da Bull]

Is there some kind of locator that can be installed someplace in a boat in case of theft? Vet`s put um in dog`s.

On "to catch a thief" they had a devise that would call you and tell you the boat was being moved as well as its location. It would also shut the boat off remotely.

Congrtrats on the find i told you there pretty hard to hide sometimes

Jimmy you could do that with lojack......if you put somethingup in the bow of a Skater they would never find it..........trust me and anyone who has been up in there.........

[berg969]

it looks like the thief's were scoping the place out on sat night

[JR IN JAX]

As nice as you boat looks, I am suprised they did not keep it. Sorry about your engines.

I keep mine in the back yard, behind a locked fence with security cameras recording.

This has been happening a lot recently.
JR

[1BadAction]

well that sucks, hopefully you can find the motors too. Keep an eye out on craigslist. IMO.

[WILDMAN]

I have two 2000 280's and two 2004 300X's.

[stokernick]

damn,4 engines on that and it'll really scream!!Glad they found the boat,hope they find the crooks [in little pieces,lots of bullet holes!]

[berg969]

I'll see what it looks like tomorrow.
Motors will be something turn key that idles since i'm laying out cash and used all my good chit on these and fed up with having the cowling off. for now it will get a new paint job- was speaking to the painter last week and when the times right something new or near new. prob some 250xs or 300xs

[mustang1175]

Bad things happen to good people, for I remember you stopping to help me on the Suwannee last year. Sorry to hear this, and I hope the motors are found quickly with justice to follow!!

[MODVP22]

definately keep you eyes on Craigs list, ebay, the forums here, ByuBoyz, HotBoat, etc. etc.
Glad they found the boat though...hopefully in one piece :(

[Kirk Dunteman]

I used to live in Homestead (south of Miami) I'd see stripped out boats dumped in the groves all the time. They'd take the engines, rigging and trailer and dump the bare hull. Some *******s tried to steal my 28 ' Manta one night from behind my in-laws house. Lucky for me my Mother in law woke up and ran them off. Good luck finding the engines. Kirk

[zx1216]

How do you know it was exactly 11:38 when it was stolen? Anyway good luck finding the motors...

He never said he had any, if he did there would be a description of the people/truck that stole it, one would think. I'm not being an ass i was just wondering, keep your shorts on buddy.

You should just be happy the guy got his boat back!! If you want to play Colombo do it somewhere else. Your post implies that he might have known something he did not. Leave it alone guy!!:eek: :eek: :eek:

[berg969]

[zx1216]

[delawarerick]

I think it suks I did get out even told the security guard and the guys at boatel to keep an I eye out for it heading their now to tell it was found they will still watch for someone trying to sell motors over this way. Lowlife will probablly sell the motors for crack. Wife wants to stay here I miss the slower lower way up in De. Sorry for your loss and I feel your pain. Rick

Guy I am sorry I did not mean to get on your case but at the time this guy had enough to worry about!! He has his boat back no harm no foul :D :D

[flabum1017]

That sucks. That area looks familiar.....

When I worked in Miami for Paigo Brothers, we had to lock every boat, triple chain each gate at the joint and hinges, take out all the electronics and batteries, pull the props and get everything of value out of the boats that were left outside. We had boats stolen right out of the yard without them even cutting the locks...they'd back into the fence or gate until they could hook to the boat and take the baot and fence with them. We even had and engine removed from the back of a boat, they cut a hole in the fence, drug it thru the hole and half way across the street before they realised ther was no powerhead on it.


I'll keep my eyes open......

[delawarerick]

I have one more resource if you want me try give me a call. I have met some people here I will pm my cell number. Rick

[JrCRXHF]

Shoot to kill.

I would just spend some late nights hanging out.


Or if not lead in the shot gun it would be at least rock salt.

Have you thought about getting a couple big dogs down there.

[berg969]

i have a rot but i think i'm gonna get some pit's that dont see anyone in the day but me

[JrCRXHF]

I have a English mastiff and when a 175lb male dog walks around people are like

Oh $hit.

even if the dog barked they would not like the noise.

Doberman pincher would work good too. I just am not a big fan of pits but that is just me.

[berg969]

i dont like them either but thats the point right

[skydog]

i dont like them either but thats the point right


Yea for sure!
