Unbelievable scum of the earth would do something like this.
The illiterate chicken-scratching looks like "do you smell (something) (something) mononxsnide" (some retarded reference to carbon monoxide maybe?)
What a shame.

Man it's sad how much the river has changed in the last few years. People there use to be so nice. I know that alot of people still are, but the is just a lot of assholes out there now. I know its a holiday weekend so there are alot more out there but this type of stuff is happening on non holiday weekends. :devil:

I honestly don't think anyone that actually owned their own boat that was valued over $10k would even think about doing this to a fellow boater, with the possible exception of maybe the sinking boat owner being an A-Hole and getting into an altercation with someone else, maybe the wrong guy :confused:

as long as water didn't make it into the oil it should be ok, hope he checks that before starting the motor
THAT SERIOUSLY SUCKS!!!!!!!! I hope local LE can help him catch the PERP!
if he needs help call me at 928.854.4381 and I will "cherry pick" the boat out for him

Exactly. Nobody who works hard to own a nice boat would do that to another boater...it's only the idiots who are jealous and/or have no respect for property.
These are the same idiots who key cars because they are nicer than theirs.

Holy crap!! I can't imagine what would possess someone to do that! It seems if it was an eco-freak, he or she would have made a better statement and probably known how to spell monoxide. Must be someone he inadvertantly PO'd. Maybe ran his engine too long next to the cowards kids or something. :confused:
I just can't understand people. BTW, guess I won't ever be leaving my boat on the beach at Havasu.

Don't get me wrong, I was not suggesting or supporting the action, I can just imagine what someone with little common sense, enough anger and maybe too much alcohol in them just may decide to do. Obviously too coward to approach the situation head-on, if in fact that was the case.

got a great story on that,
sleeping on my boat one night, a drunk 20 something year old, tried to steel my rear light pole and flag, I saw him slip back into the water, with out pulling anchor I fired it up chased him down into some bushes on the shore line,took my light back, turned the boat around and said "now it's my turn" gave him a full dose of jet thrust into the weeds, I will never forget the HORRIFIED look in his eyes as I hit the gas, = SCARED STRAIGHT

It all depends on how long the boat was sunk !
We had sunk a boat for 5 hours at the dock in 5 ' of water during a storm .There wasn't an ounce of oil left in the engine . All the oil surfaced filling the engine fully with water.Same happened to the saddle gas tanks. If the moron who pulled the plug was concerned about carbon monoxide ,he/she sure did a great job for the environment :rolleyes: .Threaded plugs tigthened real good may be a better solution versus the rubber plugs.

I knew I should not have thrown out a number, but I was merely implying that someone that owns a boat of relative significant value and knows how hard they worked to buy the boat, in normal cases would not be doing this to a fellow boater.

I thought most of the big boats came with the threaded plugs these days. That looks like a fairly new Warlock.
There was a time when you could leave your keys and cooler full of beer in the boat and would not have to worry. It's just wrong to mess with somebody's property like that. Let's just hope the damage to the motor is minor. I have seen boat's completely under water one day and back on the water the next. But with all the computers and electronics in today's motors, who knows.

I had some fool take a cooler full of beer and food out of the back of my truck while parked in a casino lot at Laughlin. The ironic thing is I took my mean old dog out and put him in the shade because it was so hot. If my dog had been in there the only thing they would have got was a bloody stump where their hand used to be.
Stealing beer is bad karma.

This looks like it is right below the Agave Inn, which has some owner occupied condos right there above the beach. They are just lucky it was likely not one of them and they didn't get caught.

Stealing anything from someone is bad karma! I had a cooler stolen out of the back of my truck while I was in Mc D's in Parker. They got a brand new bottle of TGI Friday's Mud Slide. Bastards! I was looking forward to a few. Can't leave anything out any more. After having to pull our boat out of the water in the middle of a huge wind storm (2:00 AM), we now always put it on the trailer and cover it up. No matter how tempting it is.

Its not safe on the trailer either, I had to leave my truck and boat in the windsor parking lot, when I came back the next morning I found my cd player on the seat and all of my Amps ripped out. Nothing was taken, someone must have come by and scared them off. It happened to me again on the nextweekend in the paking lot of the Ramada. I had come down to bring the ice chest up to room. Much to my suprise when I pulled the cover off the boat I found two FU^#)@S trynig to pry my Amps out of the Fiberglass. Man did they ever get the beating of their life!!!!!!!

Maybe the owner launched without a plug, came right over and parked and when he came back the next day was concerned about getting slapped with a big haz-mat fine. I really want to believe that nobody would crawl into chest deep water not even knowing if the plug was rubber or metal screw and do that. Risk getting their ass beat. The scrawl in the sand was written after the oil got all over everything. It just makes more sense that the owner screwed up and forgot the plug. I have been boating for 25 years and I still forget sometimes. What really kills you is the launch and park. If you launch without the plug and stay in the boat, you just notice the floors getting wet and put it in. No harm, no foul. Every time you see these boats sunk at the docks it's the same story. Launch and park spells glug glug.

Well INS I did read #32. Ya think us folks that don't own a super custom yet don't care as much as you and your crowd does? Your wrong. My jet doesn't come close to what you prabably pay for insurace but I feel for the boat owner just as you do. It SUCKS. Most of the people I know would feel the same. What comes around goes around. People who do crap like this will never ever have anything nice cause they will always be looking behind thier back.

Theres no oil on the beach so I dont think that flys. Someone didn't like him running thi motor to keep-up the batteries I would think. Or maybe he parked in there spot.???? Atleast they didn't untie it & push it out to deeper water. You would like to catch the S.O.B. that did that.

First off, this totally sucks. If someone DID actually remove the plug at night, they really need to be caught and prosecuted or at least beat but we know niether of those will happen as there is virtually no way to catch whoever did it. Secondly, this is not the first time this has happend from what I understand to a boat in the channel. I heard that a frequent visitor with a 28 Eliminator Daytona experienced the same thing within the last year or so.

I was in the channel on saturday night after boating ALL day and when we went to leave the bilge was so focking full of water the engine was misfiring.
SOMEONE PULLED MY PLUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIECES OF SH*T
How does a threaded plug unscrew itself ? Either someone took it ouy or it was an act of god.
About 1 hour before we left the channel at about 11:00 pm, I ran the bilge pump for 15 seconds and it was completely empty and NO water was coming in.
The only people that i can think did this were a couple of drunk guys next to us that were in a supposedly salvage titled boat and they said they were from Baker . I think the boat was a newer Cobra ( not talking trash here so dont start with me) but I was giving them the brush off because they were annoying so i dont know for sure. I never saw them do anything to my boat but they were the only ones that I remember being around.
Well anyway , I had 8 people on my boat and after bailing water out with plastic bowls and running the bilge we decided to make a run for Windsor wearing our life jackets. I dropped off all but 2 other people on the beach and we barely planed out but we made it to the ramp.
I never thought to check the plug because I dont take it out and the threaded ones dont fall out just sitting on the beach after 13 hours of boating saturday.

I am on topic. Who ever did this is a coward. If you got a problem with some one put it to them not their stuff. The monetary deal got to me cause I work my ass off for the nice stuff I have and I do give a Sh!t. If I see someone messing with anyones boat I step up Quick. I'm sure he didn't mean nothing by it. It just came out that way.
I bought a jet for less than 10 K I have a great time when I boat. If you need help me and my jet buddies are some of the first ones out there.
Seams like a there is a pattern of this type of crap happening. Time for a web cam. Then a lynching.

I called it wrong. Its just hard for me to believe someone could be such an a$hole. I think its time to install some type of surveillance equipment in the channel. If it was caught on tape we could bag em.

Well.....
You should be able to leave your boat in the Channel for a bit and feel safe about it.......
I always ask someone to keep an eye on it...... ;)
We.....(Me & USman105).....put our boats in at 06:30 and didn't come back until about 11:00......All I was worried about was my boat getting hit.....
Even with my 6 fenders out......
I have never left my boat in the water overnight anywhere where I wasn't nearby...........Unless it was in a slip........Which isn't any safer I guess, just a bit more inconvenient for the shiat bags to get to.
Also.....I thought that you would get towed or cited for leaving your boat in the Channel all night..... :idea:
Anyway.....It was sick to see in person...... :(
Later,
