Matt,
If you fear someone ever steals your boat consider getting (lo-jack) anti
theft device. Also if your boat is protected with lo-jack then you probably
get a deal on insurance. Man if anybody ever steals the boat at gun point
and dosen't kill you then turn them in using lo-jack. They will be sorry
they ever tried robbing you. I see your using shaw internet are you in
Canada?


This lojack system is nice .. but yes I am in canada .. wont work

Folks,

its now down to a few weeks til the boat will arrive and I have to
start makeing arrangements to make sure it stays where it belongs and
doesnt end up with some crook....

My insurance (and common sense) require the boat to be chained when
stored at my place. Unfortunately there is no solid structure nearby
that I could use to connect a chain to .... I was thinking about a
hook in the (concrete) ground .. Kryptonite has one but its expensive
and hard to get here... Are there any other ideas or options?

The second scenario that requires some protection is when camping with
the boat. It should be made sure that nobody can pull the boat away at
night and I have to swim home ... What is the standard method to
protect for that? Lets leave aside that sometimes you DONT want to
know or be there if someone (armed) takes your boat....

I was thinking about an alarm in the boat ... it could be a simple
setup with a vibration sensor hooked to a siren or a thin wire going
from boat to shore and if the boat moves the wire rips and triggers
the siren ..

Is this preactical? Recommended? After all sometimes its better to
stay asleep and let the boat go with an armed&dangerous criminal ..


What are your opinions, experiences?

Matt
