Worth an email to see if the guy actually bought a boat. If so, get the numbers off the boat/plate.


ETA: Just emailed guy from craigslist ad to see if he ever got a boat.

Solid advice. It happened to me.

Lots of folks in the area from out of town. I've heard of multiple houses being broken in to. I'd be for a quick trip to the Mississippi River with a brick tied to their feet.

That was a hell of a sketchy ad.



I have the license plate pic on my front seat and will keep an eye out around Lafayette

I'm thinking the trailer will be empty someplace as the boat is likely being used plus if it was an opportunistic theft they might not have the right vehicle to tow it with??
Of course an empty trailer is going to look like a lot of other empty trailers.
Maybe send a search party of OT volunteers to help THIS volunteer. I wouldn't be surprised if the abandoned trailer would be relatively close to his home??
Just trying to think it through...
Nail this MFer!

Eta: maybe check all boat ramps within a 5 mile radius. And if someone sees the trailer try to wait for the POS to show up with boat... And no need to bother 911 while they're busy chasing down the store looting thugs.

How many boat ramps within 5-7 mile radius of his home?

How many of the ramps are in a hidden or thick area seldom used?

Charlie is a great guy and always willing to help those in need. If it hasn't been posted already, he was shot in the stomach several years ago saving a random girl he heard screaming from being raped in tiger land.

If anyone deserves the full skill of the OT it is him.

Any pics of trailer only?
That trailer is sitting someplace empty. Gut feeling.

Trailer: D837746 (from OP)

Can someone take that pic of the LA trailer plate posted in thread and put ^^^ numbers on it so the baws have a visual reference?

I'm doing what I can I've already searched CL. Two were close and just posted today but one doesn't have a rhino liner and the other is Evinrude powered. Also looking for the Yamaha OB.
Maybe someone could check pawn shops for the Yamaha only?

Eta. Could op request a sticky?

Stolen Boat


It's fricked up that people do that. During Katrina, a friend of my Dad's took his boat down to New Orleans to try to help people get out of the flooded areas. At the first house he came to with people on the roof waiting to be rescued, he pulled up to the house, the people pulled a gun on him, stole his boat and left him sitting on the roof of their house.
