Even if they take the name off , it should still be able to see on the gelcoat,
They always show due to the lack of weathering under the letters

This kind of shit is everywhere today, but no where is it as bad as in NJ.. It was bad when I was there .. Had a ton of stuff stolen in my 37 years in NJ. I imagine its a lot worse now.. I hope your boat is found soon, and the miserable bastards that took it get friggin' nailed to the wall...

Good idea to post it here retired p/o will look out for it in the central jersey area, best of luck getting her back

Just an idea. Maybe the boat went into Pennsy. Maybe someone can have the police check the cameras at the crossing near Hamilton. I think it's the Route 1. It's a toll road, it should have cameras. Hope you get it back.

My nephew had is car stolen from a repair shop there a couple of weeks ago. The police found it in Trenton with damage from an accident. Wishing you the best in finding your boat.

Suggestion.

I would pay a very covert trip to the location of the guy who plows that lot or nearby lot. You have to find that out discretely.

I hope you can thank me later.

It is a 1972 Whaler 13 with Honda 30 HP motor, console steering, tricked out. Boat Reg NJ 4347 CP. Trailer Plate NJ TKC82Y. "Mini-Mushin" on side. My daughter and I spent 6 months restoring this boat to its pristine condition. This is the boat that Jason The Sensation from Fisherman Supply fishes the River with daily. If you have info that helps me get her back, please call Capt. Alan 609-731-3742 or Hamilton Township PD 609-581-4000. I will reward you with a spot on an overnight canyon trip on me.

I know this is late in the game for the owners of Mini Mushin but something to consider when this boat is recovered and prior to that for anyone else interested. Unfortunately what happened here is not an isolated instance. People are just brazen these days and the same can happen to any of us at any time, especially in the NY / NJ area. For anyone considering keeping their boat on a trailer, it might not be a bad idea to get a GPS tracker to keep on board in a discreet area. The devices they sell today have a wide range of price and range but they have relatively inexpensive units with very decent ranges that in a situation like this could come in quite handy. The units are small enough where you can locate them on the boat or in the trailer in an area out of view where they wouldn't be detected. You'd have the boat back the next day and the guys who stole it would be in jail where they belong. Just something to consider for boats on trailers or cars for that matter. I know a few people who have them and recovered their stolen cars within a few hours. Unfortunately it's the world we live in today but a cheap insurance policy.
