Not to be a dick or stir the pot, but I can guarantee my thoughts are the same as the cops and the insurance company's. Inside job.

That'd make it more of a submarine?

I I couldn't agree more.. if it is inside the insurance companies are very good at this stuff. Then I find our drives are on it which add up over 15 grand with steering and boxes etc.. also what pissed me off the lot it was stolen from he was just doing gut a favor and this happens. I don't know anyone who would return to the ramp across from the lot and dump it unless they felt comfy

Gotta know where the cameras are. Or lack thereof.

Did they all happen to be pointed the wrong direction?

Can you fish an engine out of a 353 without pulling drives? If not, someone wanted new engines. I can't imagine a thief saying "lets put the drives back on so it floats when we bring it back".

A person a few miles from me ran into business and personal bankruptcy.

Bank foreclosed on both.

This person stripped the roof, massive doors, and most of the walls off the few year new very large commercial garage on the property.

Mind you, this is right on a main street.

Amazing what some do when they are going 'down for the count.'

1. Steal your own boat and take out the engines and interior.
2. Leave drives on so that it doesn't get flooded.
3. Get paid by insurance company.
4. Buy back your boat on the cheap since it has no engines or interior, but didn't sustain water damage (in theory anyway)
5. Put engines and interior back in over time.
6. Voila- Owner's boat is now paid for free and clear!


Wanna bet?
