Hi everyone,

Today is a really sad day for me i was going to the marina to pick up my boat for winterize it and when i arrived at the dock i noticed that my 2008 Malibu VLX was not there. I felt immediately shocked and i asked the guy at the marina if he had to move it in any way ? He said '' no not at all i thought you came to pick it up already. '' With this answer i immediately knew that the worst happened and my boat have been robbed.

I know that this post will probably not help anything at all but anyway, if you heard anything suspicious about my 2008 Malibu VLX Red and Black loaded boat please i would appreciate your best cooperation because i loved my boat and i am really heartbroken today. Yes i was insured but anyway my boat is my boat.

The robbery happened approximately in mid - end September ( last time seen by the marina guy )
I went the last time first week of September
Boat where docked in Montreal South Shore ( Saint-Lambert )

He is a picture of EX-BOAT

Did you blur the numbers on purpose? That could help people find it.

Ben voyons donc!!!

My black 210 was docked at that marina 3 years ago, yacht club St Lambert. The place always looked sketchy but it is such an awesome city riding spot. Goodluck finding it, will keep my eyes opened in the 514

Now I love the Lachine marina even more!!

Post the HIN and any unique identifying marks. Perhaps a buyer will notice and call the authorities. Unfortunately, with no title requirements for establishing ownership in Canada, only a bill of sale, a new buyer may not know the boat is stolen. Based on the wide window of opportunity, the boat could already be out of the country.

Looks like same color scheme. Trailer appears different though...

Damn that sux. I am pretty sure my insurance wouldn't replace all my stuff, like gear, stereo, ballast improvements. hope yours will and hope the miscreants are brought to justice.

Was it on a lift, with no keys, and did the marina have gates going to the dock. I know these are easily bypassed but curious to what extend the thieves had to go.

Start calling the ports, most of these guys strip them down and load stuff into containers and ship over seas.

Here's a link to another Canadian boat that got stolen http://www.centurioncrew.com/index.p...rst-week-ever/
There is a lot of truth to the fact in Canada you just need a bill of sale no title. I would however compare notes with the guy with the stolen Centurion. You never know it could be the same group of thieves. You might consider Lowjack or an Extrex GPS unit hidden in your new boat if you get one. I heard about a guy who had his Jet Ski Stolen and he had planted a GPS unit in it and the Police found the Jet Ski in several hours.
