I'm continuously amazed that more stuff isn't ripped off from boats. Million
dollar boats with $8 padlocks? Very common.
$20,000 dinghies and outboards hanging from davits with *no* security at all.

Guess it goes to show that most boaters aren't thieves, and that the bad guys
do tend to rip off their own neighborhoods.

At the end of the season I left our bicycles on the back deck. The boat is
moored bow in so getting to the back deck requires going down the finger
pier. Nothing happened for a couple of months. This past weekend I was
visiting the boat with some friends to celebrate a birthday and, low and
behold, my wife's bike was gone. While it wasn't an expensive model, it's
still a ****er to have someone board your boat to help themselves to your
property.

Dialing 911 is just one of the options.
If nobody saw anything, as a burglar likes to make it, they won't notice if the
burglar doesn't come back from the boat ride.

A $20,000 dinghy? What are we talking about here - a woodworker's wet dream?

Check out the price of a fancy RIB with a
higher HP outboard. :-)

For boats which also have helicopter pads? :-)

Jeez...I've seen handmade custom Adirondack guide boats for a quarter of
that price, and they're absolutely gorgeous.

===============================

Not at all. It's not uncommon for a decent sized motor yacht to have
a 17 to 23 ft center console or RIB, powered by fair sized outboard.

The biggest crime at most marinas is the nice sailboats that sit at the dock
and don't get sailed.
