Good news for them, but I think it may need a re-paint to get rid of the dodgy job done to disguise it.

awesome to see them get it back, that rattle can job looks brofessional, they should keep it :)

is that really an $80k boat? just seen the new 591 is only 53k. I don't know what there boat has on it but 80k sounds like a lot.

i am glade they got the boat back and just maybe someone will get their ass kicked for removing it,

this bit interests me,

had been stolen, despite having locked and secured the vessel with a wheel lock.

knowing what type and how firmly they had done the brace up,

a wheel brace not firmly tightened onto the rim properly can just about be kicked off...

i guess we will not know unless they are a regular on here...

I'd be gutted to get that back if the payout was going to be 80k.

Anyway, I had to laugh when I read that this-morning. "... found behind a block of flats in Kelston"..."A 19-year-old man...".

What the hell's a 19 year old 'man' doing with "A boat worth $80,000.."

Good result all the same.
