Cliff,
Do you have locked gates on your docks? Not that any determined criminal could not get around our gates but they do keep out the occasional thief.
When the day comes that I need to lock myself in my boat at night I will sell it.
Our dock has changed a lot in the past 3 years. Used to be on a summer night the only problem was the noise from the several parties that lasted well into the night. Now its crickets. The cruisers are being sold off and replaced with deck boats on lifts. I hate the change. 5 years ago we have about fifteen 320DA's lined up. Now its down to three. The kids are moving out and many of our friends are getting out of boating.
hey Jim.....yes, we do have a locked gate but as you say that will only slow the thieves down, not stop them....i agree about not wanting to lock ourselves inside the boat....just not a very appealing idea.....our dock is still full of cruisers because it is a larger dock but there are many can boats and ski boats coming in to the smaller docks.....in the warmer months we still usually have a decent crowd of dock friends out on our dock and many, including ourselves, spend the night frequently....move your boat up to The Boat Rack....we still have a good and active marina life going on....
