Stolen Boat.

Woodsy · 05-08-2014, 08:49 AM

This is a theft ring! Last year a few boats were swiped from Silver Sands area. One of the stolen boats (recovered) was sitting on my trailer. Luckily the boat & trailer were recovered, and after a lengthy stay at the Gilford PD they were released.

I hope they catch these dirtbags.....

Indeed this is theft ring.. The problem is they don't seem to stay in one area very long. They grab a boat or two a year from this area and then seem to move on.

These are professionals folks.... It will continue until they are caught...

The boat has been recovered but there has been no sign of the missing pickup truck ! It is a 1995 black F250 in mint condition. We think it is in the Methuen Ma. Area. There is a reward for it.

The insurance company is declaring my boat a total loss. The boat was stolen on Sunday, May 4 at 8:15PM from Silver Sands Marina in Gilford. The boat and trailer were found at the end of a remote road in Georgetown, MA the following Thursday. When I last checked, the stolen tow vehicle was still missing. Pretty much, everything of value was stripped out of and off the boat (electronics, engine, outdrive, trim tabs, bimini top, dash and gauges etc.) The process has been arduous waiting for the various law enforcement agencies to complete their work. Although no arrests have been made, Kudos to the Gilford PD for providing me updates along the way. I am told that the boat will be auctioned off to a marine salvage company and apparently there is a market for these hulls. Although we will be reimbursed by the insurance company, my family will miss this boat. Fortunately, we have lots of photos and videos of fun times and we will move on from here!

Wow, I thought they only did this to cars (Stripped them and left them by the side of a road).

I hope the insurance paid you and you can get back into boating.

OMG those people SUCK!!!!(to be polite!)
It amazes me how much work and effort some will apply to do things illegally. If idiots like them could put that much effort and planning into life they could be quite productive, maybe.

To the unfortunate owner, sorry about your boat. Now I'm wondering why your insurance gets the claim and not the carless marina's? After all you hired them to take care of your property. By the reaction of some as 'again!' has me thinking there may be insider 'help' to the crimes. Even if it's passing along an inventory list, to conveniently leaving access to a targeted boat. This isn't the first time I have heard of such crimes happening.

the insurance company of the boat owner will pay the insured, then they will consider subrogating against the marina's insurance policy if they see a reason

Yes I agree. I hope this doesn't become a mark on the insured's history raising his rates. That would be throwing salt into the wound, imo.

it would not be a direct mark, but without knowing the complete situation, insured's past and claims history, there is no way to predict the results

Wow, what a shame! I feel so sorry for you! I bet it was a beautiful boats before some low lives did that!

I hope somehow, someway those scumbags get caught.

My brother had a car stolen back in the 90's from Gilford. It was found in a parking lot in N. Conway Outlets. Apparently the car was involved in a felony that the police cannot give me specifics as it the investigation was on going. The car was held in an impound lot by the state police. I finally receive the car about a year later and considerable weather damage due to leaving the convertible top down and was stored outdoors. All I got was a 'Sorry for the situation but we did not have the key to raise the top'. All they had to do was call me!

Fortunately, my insurance provide coverage. The thing of this is that I was without transportation for a year!
