Met another ribber at Port Edgar today only to hear his engine was stolen 2 weeks ago, and the boat next to him the day after - and they cut the transom to bits to get the 2nd outboard away quickly. Boats were on their trailers within Port Edgar Marina. They have now put up a kind of security fence around most of the RIBs.
An a thot Glesga wiz the crime capitl al an aa.....
Joking asude the bottom line here is nowhere is safe. If the thieving b*st*rds want it the best you can do is make it as chuffing difficult as possible to nick. problem is chainsawing the transom is something that is pretty un protectable.
Maybe the manufacturers should build-in a couple of concrete re-bars across the transom (hardened stainless rod would be even better). It would deter those with a chain saw. Thieves using a Saws-All or K-saw would be slowed done enough that they might give it up.
