Here's where we are at:

1. I mix a mean 7&7
2. New member shows up, acting innocently and resurrects an 11 year old post about a stolen boat.
3. RDP being RDP does what RDP does and finds it, along with google maps help and gets down and dirty with location, local business info (non RDP Advertisers) and such. Boat ends up being removed.
4. We get multiple posts with no substance in typical RDP style.
5. New member shows back up and claims to have the boat in possession.
6. New member states it's for sale. Turns out they are a boat impound and disposal company.
7. New member says you can now own this boat for their impound fees of 20k.
8. New member states you can put just a few dollars into it, buff the hull, and sell it for no less than 200k.
9. I decided my boat is worth 150K. No less.

To answer your question, no. It has been impounded. I think.

I've come to realize this stolen boat thread has turned into a boat for sale spam thread. Mods should move it from the "lounge".

Edited the list for my edification.
So... cliff notes.
Rdp members jump to conclusion, someone posted about a stolen boat and it turned into a 2FF Holy grail thread, and all boats are at least 100k in Sleepy Joe's economy?

I'm gonna need a sample to confirm your 7&7 claim tho...

Just curious has this boat ever been found? I ask because I have seen this boat
You're a clever dude. Started a for sale thread out of an 11 year old boat theft thread knowing the whole time you had it for sale in your impound lot. LOL!

Oh and BTW, $20,000 for impound is highway robbery and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Read post #192. Sounds like they recovered it and made an attempt to give the owner it was stolen from the first right of refusal. Probably couldn't find much info on it and asked here when RDP came up in their search. Sounds like the owner it was stolen from isn't interested in it, so now it's for sale. $20K is a lot of money but it cost money to run a business and for the most part we have a free market system in America.

At least one member knows how to read. Second we never posted the boat for sale on this site. You members did that. Lol

I agree with everything you posted. They definitely recovered it and based upon what is posted here, one could assume the OG owner refused it. Which is good for the recovery company, as now they can sell it.

Are you questioning my ability comprehend what I've read? I already have a wife that does that, I don't need an RDP friend to do that too.

Looks to me, in yore your yure ya'lls posts below, you have offered it for sale on this website. :) 🤷‍♂️ I mean, you LITERALLY wrote that in your post. oopsie... The written word is an amazing tool.

I hope you sell it and get all the money. I really hope a Schiada aficionado buys it and can restore it with the same love I have put into my Halletts.

Ok here's the story. Our company recovered the boat and trailer. Got called by the property owner to dispose of the boat. The boat has been sitting there for 11 years. We ran all numbers on the boat and all where clean. Did some searching on our own and found the stars and strips post from 2013. Got ahold of lee and talked to the original owner. We are a boat disposal and impound company. Insurance company worked with us and released the boat to us in exchange of all impound fees, towing fees, boat transfer fees and two months storage fees. We now are offing the boat for sale at what the fees would of been.

Yes $20k buys the boat with new clean title. I have found 550-650hp motors for $20k pair and bravo XR drives for $15k pair. Good upholstery shops can do the outside seats for $6k and new inside cushions for $4k. Gel coat is still like new just needs buffing. I can get like new trailer for $10k

He may sit on that a very long time to hope to get that for it. Most likely $10-15k......the trailer it's sitting on will likely warp the bottom......
I figure someone would scoop that up at 10k pretty quick, if it had a properly sized trailer then maybe 20k to the right person but he could move it quick for 15k

I’m guessing if the OG owner refused it because when he was offered it, it came with paying the $20,000 in recovery and storage fees.

I’m guessing some that buys a new Schiada is not the type of person to buy a 10 year sun rotted boat regardless of brand. The typical Schiada owner stores his boat in a climate controlled garage with the boat and trailer detailed before being putting away and once again before being used. Just saying.

Although you said buys new, you musta missed the thread I started about seeing RD’s old float sitting outside the new owners house for years.

Was it impounded for 1.5 months? Pretty easy to rack up

$500 tow fee if it was towable on a trailer and $400/day minimum impound for something that big. x 48 days = 20k

I'm guessing you're both right. OG owner probably said fuck that, to both buy back cost as well as the fact it is in a condition not up to the standards of a "typical" Schiada owner. We can only assume, and here at RDP, we are excellent at that!!!

I'm still baffled at the way this whole thing has gone down. LOL. From the "hey has anyone seen this boat" to "I have it and it is for sale" to "I never said that and these people can't read". ( I am summarizing).

Not that I really give a shit. It is entertaining tho. :)

Yup. Would have been pretty easy to come on here and say... "I just recovered this boat and am trying to get in touch with the owner." But I guess sometimes the simple things aren't so simple. I'm sure there are reasons for the approach.

Original trailer was recovered years earlier. The trailer under the boat at time of pick up had a title. Trailer boat is on now is one of our yard trailers.
So what happens to the trailer that had a title? Do you notify the owner to come get their trailer and charge them thousands for transport and storage?

So they don’t come get it, now do you add that to the sale price and offer it as a package?

Do you still have the storage cover that was on the boat?

You are incorrect. We posted the pictures of the boat on the trailer at the pickup location and had already removed the boat to our location days before you guys even knew what was going on. We where paid to remove a trailer and dispose of a boat on the trailer. The trailer and boat vin's where clean no record. It was our company that made the extra effort to find out the story on the boat. A search on the internet found a story dated 2013 about a stolen 32' Schiada and that's how it happened.

Then why would you ask if the boat has been located? You know it was found, you had it. Why not say we are an impound yard and we have this boat, does anyone have a way to contact the owner.
