    @JayhawkCurtis Lucky! I have to keep my boat AND my Snorkelift outside!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Labor was one thing that was covered in full. Yes, they replaced the cable, although they originally commented on how neatly the thieves did the job, including disconnecting that cable.

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    One consolation is that 14,000 airline miles is enough to make it almost all the way to Hawaii! :D

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    It is Geico. I think they recently merged with BoatUs. I mentioned that my insurance didn't cover much as I was swiping my credit card for the final $4000 and the repair shop owner said, "Yeah, they get you for depreciation." So it must be a story he hears a lot.

    And that's a percentage point lower than Seattle! If it wasn't for the beauty of the area, I wouldn't stick around!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    We're just getting started on a kitchen remodel. Don't even get me started on labor rates and availability or supply costs and availability! It's a new world!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    I found a pair of brand new (NOS) props on ebay for $1400. I offered $1000 and they accepted. Had them sent directly to BBlades to be re-worked. They're still there. The owner there said they looked brand new. Glad he was able to verify that!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    If I would have seen my stolen one on Craigslist, I would have paid them that just to get it back! It was like new.

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Here are the details. I ended up spending more on the props because I had them labbed a BBlades, as the original ones were. If I did the labor myself, I would have purchased a drive online, like the ones shown above.

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Prices are crazy! That's about 1/3 of what I spent on the entire boat/trailer 5 years ago.

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Update: Got the boat back home yesterday with the new outdrive installed. Final cost, including props and labor is right at $14000. Insurance paid $2800. I installed Mcgard locking nuts on 4 of the 6 outdrive mounting nuts. I know that's overkill, but if it happened again, my boating days would...

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    I hope you're right, but that's now how I understood it. The policy states that theft will be depreciated to a maximum of 80%. And their message said they're depreciating it 80%. I will know for sure soon.

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    They haven't even asked for the hours (which are at around 280), and the boat is in excellent condition. They haven't even seen a picture of the boat. If this stands, I'm going to be on the hook for 7 grand or so.

    Yes! I want 6 of them with 6 different keys!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    I heard from Geico today. They're sending out a surveyor and let me know that they're depreciating it by 80%. This was on my voicemail. I need to talk to them in person! Ugh!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    I think you're right. Someone was looking for something very specific! They did do a nice job removing it. Nothing damaged!

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    It's in my side parking next to the house. Backed in near the neighbor's fence. In retrospect, it was probably a perfect spot for this (tucked in against the fence, hidden from view. Neighbors not home. On the dark side of my house, sparsely populated etc.). Security cameras arrived today, but...

    Stolen Bravo 3 Outdrive

    Hi all. I sadly noticed the other day that the Bravo 3 Outdrive was missing from my 250 SLX. I had no idea it was so susceptible to theft, but it seems obvious now. There's a serial number on the transom assembly and I am wondering if that number is somewhere on the outdrive as well. I don't...
