On 06/20/2017 My C-Dory, 22 Cruiser was stolen in Las Vegas Nevada. PLEASE BE ON THE LOOKOUT for my 2005 22 Cruiser with blue trim on white. The vessel looks as new. 2005 22 Cruiser with hull # CD022240F405 with a Yamaha 90 hp F90 model with a serial #61P 1003977 on a Galvanized Pacific trailer with tandem axle VIN#40R1A2GGX4A023138. The license plate was left, not on the trailer. The CF# is CF 1438 RD. Please be on the lookout. A reward is offered. If anyone has any ideas or words of wisdom feel free to pass along. I have all the keys to the boat and motor. There is a mount for a trolling motor on the right rear of the boat. It is a new mount black in color, there was no motor. The trailer has surge brakes, however they are not functional. The tires on the trailer were heat/sun checked as normal here in Las Vegas. Feel free to call my at 916 508 8765 with any information...
 
If your luck you will get the boat back with out to much damage to the transom. They dont want the boat , just the motors and electronics. If they don't burn it.
 
I assume that the Los Vegas police have checked all of the various surveillance cameras--Vegas has many. This would at least give a clue as to which way the boat was headed, if taken out of town.

Give the Yamaha organization the details, and ask for service agencies to be on the look out for that motor if it comes in for service.

Good luck on recovery, and I hope that you were well insured.
 
Thank You to all of you for your comments. I've had no reports from anywhere about the boat. I kind of think maybe whomever stole it had a place to conceal it for a while to either strip it or mess with it to see if they could use it somehow. It has been a week now and my gut is just as sore today as it immediately was when I discovered it was gone. 70 years old and almost at the golden rainbow of retirement and telling my grand kids that Grand Poppie can finally take them on that long awaited boat trip and "ka-bang" it was all over!!!! I'll look for my C-Dory the rest of my life and dream forever that I see it and I just can't get my hands on it....at this stage of the game buying another one is just about impossible...at least I can smile and say I once had a C-Dory...that once was a life long dream......
 
Sorry. I mean it. I deal with victims like you weekly. The personal violation you feel saddens me and is a drain on my soul. At the same time it angers and motivates me. I HATE F'IN THIEVES! But until America wakes up and treats criminals as they should be treated, incidents like yours will continue.
 
You sure have a beautiful rig....and some mighty tasty looking fish to match. I love to go through the pictures here and see the smiles and happiness on faces and read stories. It makes my aching gut feel a little better....and it keeps that dream alive that just around the next corner I'll find mine...it won't be stolen anymore...and we'll all be happy and smiling and laughing too....and you are right...there is no thief that has to fear anything for his wrong doing....it all just gets laughed off...and that is just too bad...no one is accountable.
 
bttbjohnny,

Looks like you have a loss for sure. You have my sympathy.

But no insurance? That's interesting since most marinas, storage yards, etc. require insurance.

The wife had her wallet stolen out of her purse at a Smiths on Rancho in Las Vegas and it was a real hassle. They used her cards twice within two hours. The police gave it more effort than I thought they would, even calling to see if we had anymore info. I suggest you keep in touch with them and perhaps post notices with the entry stations at the parks.
I would use Craig's list and the iFish forum to post a stolen notice with some pictures.
If you want to offer a reward for return of your boat or even just catching the thieves, my wife and I will stand to a $100 for a fellow D-Brat. Perhaps some other folks on the forum might join in on this "in house Crowd Fund".
Don't forget that prayer works. I'll give that a try also.

You should of had your boat insured with BOAT US. I know the premiums are higher than others, but when you have a loss they give you a check real soon.

Always get an Agreed Value Policy and start with the amount that you paid for the boat. Every boat that I have had I have insured withBOAT US .

Here in Florida we have lots of Hurricanes. Other insurers haggle on paying and sometimes you have to go to court to make them pay.

BOAT US investigates and hands you a check.
 
Also make up flyers, and get them to marine outlets in the area--including the West Marine--offer a reward. Get these to St. George, the Calif. Marine organizations, Lake Powell, Lake Mead Marinas, Down to Arizona, Border Patrol.

Really hound the police dept to see if they have any leads. They might treat this as a $5,000 boat--far from the truth.

Someone out there has seen that boat. Don't give up looking for it. We all are praying for its safe return.

I'm with "localboy" about thieves. They are the scum of the earth--and the majority are drug users. I have also had things (including a large RV) stolen, and know how you feel. That is the reason we have high security at our home, with video cameras covering all angles. A number of neighbors have also put in high def. video cameras covering the street and waterways. We have caught and successfully prosecuted several thefts. Our neighborhood watch is very effective. Our neighborhood crime is a fraction of the others in our area--and we have close to a 100% capture rate...That is a deterrent to start with. Word gets out.
 
I entered all the pertinent info to my phone as soon as I read this report. then a few days later I drove half way across the country. I only saw on C-Dory, a 16 so not even close to a match.

Good suggestions listed above. It is a distinct boat, so having pictures posted all around: parks, marinas, service places (Out board and trailer) and all over the state and internet. Pictures help.

My trailer has both the boat name and state registration numbers on it, in obvious and not so, places. Always locked every which way, and ....

Best of luck, prayers included.

Johnny is "Blessed" his C-Dory was found abandoned on the streets of Las Vegas, Nevada. All in all she was not in too bad a shape. She is missing her two motors and whats left of wiring is messy but she still floats. Johnny has to get busy now and find some motors...If anyone knows of good motors for sale let Johnny know...it is best to text to 916-508-8765.....and Thank You again to all of you who kept Johnny and his C-Dory in your thoughts..... :D
 
If your luck you will get the boat back with out to much damage to the transom. They dont want the boat , just the motors and electronics. If they don't burn it.

yeah they dont want the boats, just the stuff attached to the boat. Glad to see you got it back. [/url]
 
Johnny,
I will help by looking for motors. Will you consider something other than a 90 HP Yamaha? Are the controls and wiring OK? Would you look at two 40/50 HP motors. I am still looking for a boat for myself and do all the Craig's lists etc and if you will travel a bit, you will get much better prices. If it is new, then of course you can enter the dark cavern called "Pick a Motor". Tohatsu, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and even Mercury (which is a Tohatsu as the bigger Tohatsu's are now Hondas). Whoa, what about ETEC? Too much for me. Don't forget that I am in Boulder City and have three trucks, glad to help if I can. By the way, I just bought a nice 12' Gregor with a 10 hp Mercury. You can take the kids out right now for a fishing trip at Mead!!!!

Glad to see the boat is back. Where's Johnny? Glad the C-Dory still floats. They are tough boats. Wires can be fixed, motors replaced, even C-Dorys repaired. But missing boats are hard on the heart.

It would be good to see more info here. Where's Paul Harvey when we need the rest of the story. There should be prints, tracks, DNA, and some blood somewhere :disgust
