No. If you can find it, the keys are in it. Go for it.

Heh. I had a boat like that, just gave it away since nobody wanted to
steal it. :-)

True story. My nephew is a service manager at a local
boat shop and over the years, managed to gather a collection
of old boats that were abandoned for various reasons.

His shop is on a busy road, so he got this idea to strip the
boats of anything useful (like engines, controls, electronics
if any, etc.), then he put them out on the lawn next to the
road with a big sign on them - FREE.

If I had not see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed
it, but I've seen people get into fights over who was going to
take the old broken down stripped out boat on the flat tired
rusty old trailer.

I've done it here. When I was going to restore that '68 Chris
Craft Corsair, I obtained an old Glastron with it because it
had the exact same engine. I pulled the old engine out of the
Glastron, stripped the controls and put the boat out by the
road with a big sign FREE. I left to go to the PO and do my
morning patrol - maybe an hour and when I came back, it
was gone.

Amazing.

Want it to go faster? Leave the trailer unlocked and put a for sale sign on
it. Seems like if it's advertised as worth selling the crooks will steal it
even faster than if it's offered for free.
