They tried to rip the motor from the back of the boat with this tow rope. The OUTBOARD MOTOR LOCK held firm smile .


The boat was ripped completely off of my trailer damaging my trailer big time.


When I arrived at the street, the boat was sitting next to my truck with the motor end at the front of my truck. There is a large dent on the front of my boat and the winch strap is ripped.

This is the scene after the police and I righted my trailer and carried my boat to the back of the trailer so it would be out of the street.

This is one of my rear tie downs, ripped completely in half. This is one half

Heres the other half.


I don't think I will be fishing today. frown

Easy,

It is a damn shame that stupid crackhead(s) would have to go through this amount of trouble for a fix at the expense of decent people.

Hope all goes fine and your back on the water soon.....

When are you moving? I would have been outta there after the car bomb!

Carl,

Break your lease! Obviously things aren't getting any better since you lost your truck. At the very least, trade in a couple of your fancy fishing poles on a big old shotgun and a case of shells. Hope you get things fixed soon

Lets see,a stolen truck,car bombing,boat damaged and tried to take motor. And still in the same place. I think that you like a lot of punishment before you see the light.

Hey TM, you said you see this stuff all the time. Do you think this was a failed attempt to steal my motor or just a random act of vandalism? I am thinking a failed attempt to steal my motor.

I second Busy's offer Easy. My partner just bagged out one me 1/2 hour ago, so I am flying solo tomorrow. Open on fishing areas, call me @ 425-785-8294 if you want to head out. I know it may drizzle so I am headed out right now to strap the top on.

Hope they find those jacka**es!!!

Thank you guys for your offers. I really appreciate it! You guys were there extending yourselves when my truck was stolen and you guys are here when my boat is damaged and unusable. Boy, what can I say? There just isn't enough words. You guys are great! And I know I am willing to do the same when someone else hits a bump in the road like I have. cool cool cool

Sky-guy, thank you for your offer. I am taking Busy up on his offer to fish with him on the Green tomorrow. smile

Loc: Tacoma Wa,
No offence ment, but WTF will it take to get you out of that place.

Maybe a little less fishing, and a little more working would get you a house outside of crack town.

I just hate to see good people get forked

How about you hook your boat up two a electric fence. eek

Basser, I know what you mean. Unfortunately, I just signed a new lease for one year. Not real smart on my part.

I was thinking of putting the boat/trailer out on the street again, after it is fixed, and waiting for them to take another shot at it. Any one want to come over and join the party?? laugh

EL, sorry to hear of your bad luck, unfortunately I don't really think it makes much difference where you live, if you have something nice the scumbags will find you, unless of course you move next door to Basser in Tacoma. wink

Thanks WingWang for your offer! I am done fishing for today though.

I have already bought a new trailer and the boat and motor is now down at Auburn Sport & Marine to have the motor inspected. The keel was broken off the bottom of the motor and the prop was mangled. Gotta get that stuff fixed so I can be on the water next weekend.

EL, is there any gear or equipment we can give to you to lessen the financial burden of your tough situation. Give us a list as many of us have extra stuff not being used.

Funny thing, all of my fishing gear was in my boat at the time of the attempted theft of the motor. None of my fishing gear was taken. They just wanted the motor I guess.

If you would like to donate a motor or boat that would be cool. Just kidding. laugh
