That's a shame! I feel your friend's pain; I had my 21ft stolen last September. Let him know to claim the loss on his tax returns and he should get at least a couple thousand back on his taxes.

That's me with the shades old picture though.
The one in the front with the long brown hair?
J/k, hope you guys find the boat. I'd probably get in a lot trouble if I had a boat at your age (probably would now also).

Oddly enough I did see a similar boat leaving the Boca inlet on Saturday when I was coming back in. Small blue Polar with blue canvas top with a 115 on it. I only noticed it as we were passing, did not see the bow. I thought it would've been pretty funny if it was the same one.
Either way, good luck with the search!

Thanks
Remember that the bow of the boat has a custom graphic of a fish outlined with bones. The Top of the center console has a tarp that goes |BLUE|YELLOW|BLUE|YELLOW|BLUE|it also has two speakers on the side of the boat at the tip of the center console and they are "Lose" and always fall off.
We did not lose the boat it was my friends dads fault he put it in storage and some one must have been stalking them for a while and decided to take to boat.. I have gone threw 300 ebay posts and 275 craigslist post i found nothing
How does putting the boat in storage make it your friend's Dads fault it was stolen?:headscratch:

So you're blaming Dad, who I assume bought this awesome toy for your friend to play with? That's a bit harsh, people store boats in unsecured lots all the time w/out them getting stolen, crap happens.

Guarded storage places are not going to keep it from being stolen. most of the time the "guard" sits in a hut and watches TV and rarely noticed someone unless they act like they are doing something wrong.
video coverage might be included, but only helps showing someone who stole it and not giving enough details to recover it.
The best thing to do is to "make someone else the victim". meaning take extra steps so yours isn't stolen and the thief will just go on to an easier one to steal.
easy to do. Trailer locks are cheap and slow down most thieves enough to make them go to the next one in the yard to steal.

Great, now he's going to blame the kids Dad for not securing the boat properly.
