Wow, Someone was pi$$ed......

Wow! Sounds like a band of drill wielding pirates!

I'd be willing to bet the boat owner knows who did it. There's definitely quite a bit of vengeance based on the thoroughness of the damage.

most assuradly, this is a "crime of passion" and not some random act of hoodlumism.
 
Wow, bummer.
 
Whomever it was didn't want him fishing anymore. Damaging the boat was enough to keep him off the water but taking all the lures, destroying the down-riggers and taking the GPS with all the fishing hole coordinates sealed his fate.

I'm betting he was on someone's fishing spot. Keep us posted if they find out who did it.
 
Drilling into the motor would take time and make lots of noise, where was everyone? Sounds like the work of an ex.
 
Sorry, I'm going with the owner did it. Let the flaming start, but way too much detail to basically ensure a boat is not salvaged. That would take a long time... why would you not touch the ATV or Jeep? Someone would have been really pissed at this guy and not likely stopped at the boat.

I agree... too much damage in order to assure it was destroyed. AND, the damage was way over the top to maybe make it look like a crime of passion.

It was a 1974, so I wouldn't think there was much, if any, insurance on it to cover this type of damage. I'd go with the fishing hole theory.

I'll guess he was bangin' his buddy's girlfriend/wife on the boat and his buddy needed some getback.

I thought that was what Al meant in the first post:

"I'm thinking he was on someones fishing spot...." :grin: :huh: :grin:

I'm thinking maybe he was dipping his pole in a hole where he shouldn't have been.

I don't think the boat owner did it to his own boat. If he wanted to get a new boat but still fish he'd have destroyed the boat for insurance purposes but not all the fishing gear.

The gear was missing, though, not destroyed....possibly stowed to reinstall in the boat the insurance money buys?

The guy would have to be pretty dumb to reinstall "missing" gear on his next boat if an insurance company pays out on it! Is being charged with insurance fraud worth a couple dollars worth of gear off an old boat?

It sounds like a spat involving someone who knew the owner's "first love" was boating.......thus leaving his other stuff (atv, jeep) alone. For that matter, maybe the atv and jeep belonged to someone else. It was obviously "personal", so the perp would have known that.
