Boat theft tip...
Some dealer in Fla had a 33ft center console sport fisher stolen yesterday. Brand new boat, twin Evinrudes, trailer and delivery truck. It's probably in Mexico now, but someone left a general post about a possible means of theft tracking and recovery. I thought it was worth sharing. The concept is really simple and cheap too.
"Here is a great idea for all you dealers. Or just boat owners in general. Go to petco they sell dog collars there with GPS and batterys like in a watch which last awhile. The collar is perfect to wrap around in an inconspicuous place and there ya have it. They can change or disconnect anything they like and you still can track it on GPS" |

Does the collar uplink to a satellite or does it depend on the cellular network? A boat like that can be offshore and out of cell phone range in no time at all. Boat theft of high performance center consoles is rampant in south Florida and the Bahamas. They are highly prized by smugglers and sometimes get stripped of engines and electronics. |

I really don't know if it would effectively work or not, but it looks good on paper...

Wayne that looks a bit better than a dog collar. The 'collar' concept is a good idea but thought there could be something more advanced out there.
Something concealed with a good battery life. And- if you can afford the boat you can afford the security... |

I have a walk I make, on my path is a large fenced field, recently there were 4 boats on trailers in the lot. Sticking up above the fence, mounted on a boat I couldn't see, were 3-300hp Mercury outboards. I thought, they should at least throw a blanket over that advertisement. Three days later, I made the same walk, that boat and motors was gone. It has been a month and it has not returned, I wonder?

Well I'm posting on my cell phone and I know there's an ap out there that allows you to post quotes but I don't feel o need to download another ap so I'm not gonna worry about it.
