Please call the RCMP or Wizard Lake Marine 780-985-4200 if you have any info!(or email [email protected]) *note the one 2018 G23 may still be under a white shrink wrap cover. Will be on a black tri axle trailer

Anyone in Canada, keep your eyes out, slim chance they could be coming South, but might as well spread the info.

Most likely they are in a garage in Saint Zenon Quebec. Seems like that's where everything ends up.

Can the thieves even do anything with those G's beside part them out? I would imagine it would be difficult to bypass the coded push button starting.

...fuck thieves!

I'm going to assume, this was a planned deal. It would take quite a bit of work to steal one. To steal 4! I mean they better know what they are doing. Sadly the power of social media isn't getting traction on these boats.

I still remember the one a few months ago on this forum that left a stereo shop. Owner called it in. I think RDP member saw the thread and called it in, seeing it on the road! Freaking awesome!

I have 0 clue what they would do, but part it out. Pretty sad deal. F-ing hate thieves.

What's really amazing, if these were high performance boats there would be easily more than 5 pages of reply's to this thread in the same time span...

I know where you are, but you should post more details about where, when and how these boats were taken if you want them back.

I have nothing to do with this company. I saw their post on social media and wanted to get the word out to all boaters. This was all the information posted.

Stealing boats like that is like having expensive stolen artwork. So noticeable, you can only enjoy them in private.....Parting them out would be the option to get away clean.

Only cautious pros could pull this off so odds are poor on recovery. Tweakers too stupid to get away with 4 of 'em.

I hope the long odds are broken and they are recovered and thieves are punished.

Over a half million dollars in stolen boats...damn..really sux and part of the problem is these are production boats so although they may seem easy to spot they only make them in so many colors and combo's....I feel like I have seen those boats on the water prior....change the HID's...maybe a color here and there you go about your business...

This really sucks and took some serious coordination to pull off. They were stolen from their Calmar, AB location.

Wizard Lake Marine has an awesome crew and were one of the 1st to bring Boat Bling products into Canada.

This is getting a lot of exposure across the board although understandably not much from the performance crowd. Hopefully boats are found or there is enough pressure that the thieves can't move them. There have been a few leads so far.

While there are many Nautiques built with similar color schemes, those trailer & wheel combos are more unique than most.

I'm gonna guess the lack of responses in here has a lot to do with the location of the theft. Just my .02c:thumbsup

And the type of boat.

I saw a green one like above, on my way home yesterday, on Hwy 62. My immediate thought was "god dammit, go wreck the water somewhere else" and I then didn't pay any attention to anything else about it.

Irregardless, I too hate thieves.

Sucks for the owner but insurance should pay up. Good for the manufacture because they're in demand and get to build more.

As I mentioned earlier, this has to be pros. And a theft of this magnitude has to have prior secure arrangements for getting them moved. If just one unit, they could be filling an order from an individual. But 4 units makes me think it would be someone that moves them out of country or can part them out for specific rebuilds or conversions. Whatever the plan someone has to
know how to avoid S/n's and other ID points being routinely found out down the road.

The hulls and especially the trailers are too unique to sell outright and will get someone caught with stolen goods......Just has to be a formal criminal scheme.

That's pretty big to take 4 at once. Be interesting to see how this turns out.

Absolutely, pros for sure with maybe an inside line IMO.

My wife said an interesting thought, what if they wrap the boats.

If they aren't shipped overseas -- and they get sold to some unsuspecting person in Canada or the US, this unsuspecting buyer will be in for a shock when he goes to either register it (in Canada you register with the Coast Guard) or insure it (you'd be foolish to not carry some insurance on one of these).
My bet is they were loaded into containers not far from where they were stolen and these containers already on the dock in Vancouver waiting to be loaded onto a ship.:thumbsdown

..... and this isn't the first rodeo for the guys that did it.

This is brutal, feel bad for the dealer or owners of the boats. If it was 4 different trailers, then at least 4 people were involved, probably more. People talk. Tough to use them without doing some work to hide their "identity." Thieves are scum of the earth.

Wouldn't be at all surprised. Seems they were in a bit of a convoy heading east in Manitoba according to some facebook comments.

If we had the death penalty for thievery, I'll bet there would be a lot less of it.

Other than engines and electronics what parts can you sell. It's not like car parts. Almost 1 of a kind boats when you consider color schemes.
