There were three 36 Contenders, a 31 and 2 33 Hydrasports stolen in down here in the past three weeks.. Two recovered stripped like your friends. Appears the islanders are ordering engines again..
One of the trip engine Hydrasports was stolen three days after delivery.. Never even got in the water

it hurt my eyes just to look at it. The owner must have put a lot of work into it (looking at the custom bait tanks and walk thru), hopefully he will recover it from the insurance company and make it like it was, or better, again.

LOTS of work originally. He was between insurance, so he got it back. Already working on it.

Good to hear. I just finished my 34 SS and have a super wiring diagram made up if he needs it. I got three engines and a charging system that is fail safe. I designed my own systems with good help from Blue Sea and will send him my diagrams provided and e-mail address... He got a beautiful boat to be proud of, this time around he will hopefully set it up better than last time and be even more proud of it. If any technical solutions is needed, please do not hesitate to ask...

Very sorry to here about your friends cc. I had a 35 Donzi ZF stolen last July in St. Pete with the same circumstances. They used the boat to bring in illegals. The boat was recovered in Dade County in a traffic stop. The people driving fled and were apprehended to later be aquited of all charges because they claimed they were being paid to transport the boat and had no knowledge that the boat, the truck and the trailer were stolen. Biggest bunch of BS I'ver ever dealt with. To top it off the Border Patrol officer that made the arrest never even made it to the court trial. It cost Three thousand dollars just to get the boat out of the storage. It was trashed and semi stripped but at least it wans't a complete loss. I hate thieves.
