Wow... How and where was it found? (tipped off, someone driving by, etc.) That's incredible that it wasn't stripped and parted out

I'm so glad that thieves are so dumb. Steal the boat in 2010 and let it sit untouched for so long. I hope they get the book thrown at them

What are the odds!!!! I remember this boat being for sale over on performance boats around 2010, then the owner posting that it had been stolen. That's awesome it was found

gives me some hope. Still looking for mine that Tim McDonald screwed me out of. Heard is is being hidden in the Sacramento Ca. area

please keep an eye out for it.
I haven't seen it around Sac or the Delta. I will keep an eye out and let you know if I do.

Not many of those with american flag on it. OGShocker had one like it here on the board. If it didn't have the flag on it, probably would have never be found. Good eye waterboy:thumbsup

Another boat that's hidden [ not stolen though ] for a few years somewhere in Langley BC, belongs to a local businessman/scammer who owes big money to ArnesonRik [ member here ] for two drives.
I'm sure that one must be in a barn on some farms, being 50' and bright yellow.

This was the last time I saw it at Shelter Island workyard in Richmond BC, being fitted by Explorer Yachts with new engines and Arneson drives.Mechanics who worked for Explorer at the time aren't working there anymore, I believe. Wonder if Rik ever got his money,somehow I doubt it.

Not trying to insinuate anything but the boat was for sale and then stolen.

Then it sat untouched since then in someones backyard.........?

I don't know........Seems weird.

Grand theft. Prop 47....non violent crime. Dude won't even get a year.

But great find. Very cool.

One needs to defend themselves against the thief...because they feared for their life, or thought they saw a gun, and beat the shit out of them...then it'll be a violent crime.

What's the real story behind the fenders?

Thieves think differently than normal folks. They needed fenders so they stole a trailer that just happened to have a boat on it. They took the fenders and left the rest in the back yard......Who knows. It could be that simple with thieves.:skull

Yup, weird deal all around, hoping Matt comes in and sheds some light, probably has too wait till cops talk with him and the like to make sure all is ok to talk.

You're saying that the boat was worth less than $950.00 when it was stolen?

Prolly has interior issues but mechanically, if the boat wasn't used, it will be as sound as it was at the time it was stolen.

Could be put back into service easily enough.

It could be a nice boat for someone.
