Why not invest in some cable locks and lock the boards to the racks when you do that? They are cheap and offer some peace of mind.

The boards are just held onto the cargo bimini with bungees, and onto the overhead racks with nylon webbing. Unless there was a hole through the surf boards I couldn't really secure them anyway. (the surfboards don't have holes in them and the wakeboards on there were closed toe bindings).Quote:

I really don't dock and leave gear all that often. And with my current setup, I would have had the ability to put my surfboard/wakeboard in one locker, the wife's surfboard and my slalom ski in the other. Then I can put the Ronix surfboard and at least 1 or 2 other boards in the basement locker. so if I was more worried about it, I'd start stowing gear in lockers out of sight.
You can use two locks and lock the board from the front and back so you can't slide it off?
Another option is drill a hole in the fin and run a cable through there.
Just thinking out loud.

Yeah, If I was that worried, I'd likely put more thought into it. The best move in this case would have been to stow boards in lockers. I could have dropped my exposure from $4500 to $1000 or $500 or even $0 by putting EVERYTHING in lockers that I could fit in lockers and getting stuff out of sight.Quote:

Looks like I have $5000 of personal effects replacement cost with a $250 deductible on my Progressive policy.Quote:

I used to do that until someone pulled the key and either tossed it or took it when it was parked at a dock. I had to go all the way home to get a spare so we could do some boating. I now hide a key and pull the ignition key when walking away from a public dock.Quote:

I forgot our key once on the '08 - learned how to hot-wire pretty quickly, and all was well with the world. I think the spare that came with the '13 is in the glovebox, lol.Quote:

Next time I predict we'll be downtown Portland at night will be probably on the 4th of July for the Blues Festival fireworks. But that's a crazy night. so many boats. so crowded. it's definitely a sh** show! But we have a blast with it.Quote:

New surf platform performed well tonight. For some reason my phone decided not to take the vertical picture of the platform completely out of the developing wave...dang it!
I'll have to take some pictures of it in the daylight. Still needs to be sanded and painted, epoxy was just dry enough to run tonight.
Goofy side not terrible either, IMO.

I hate to agree with you on that , but it is all too true Attachment 25713
I figured if I bought a chevy it would be in the shop even more, with all the recalls and what not. Dodge has come light years on there interiors but I'll never own a dodge again. I owned nothing but GM until this truck but but this thing has treated me right. It's not the 6.0 or 6.4 that seem to have been plagued with problems. I guess we'll see how she pulls shortly

I like the Fords, but their Diesels are shit. Dodge have had rust issues for decades. Look at every Ram in the Midwest and they all are rusting to hell around the rear wheel wheels, bumpers and tailgates. You'd think after several models they would have figured this out, but nope. Chevy isn't devoid of plagues, but seem to be the most reliable of the bunch. I have worked in the auto industry for 18 years, so I have a good finger on the pulse here.

I just like stirring the Ford guys up LOL.
I owned nothing but Fords until my Ram.
I can agree Dodge rucks have rust issues but I haven't seen anything like that with the 12 ups.
It took me a long time to give up on Ford Diesels, but after the last 2 with the major issues I ended up having I wanted something more reliable.
I have always liked the chevy front end, rear end but I just don't like the side profiles. They have to be lifted to even look good to me, I don't care for the square looking fender wells. Also the interior feels cramped to me. I sat in the new ones before buying my Ram and I just didn't like the dash layout for the entertainment system and I felt like I just couldn't get fare enough away from the steering wheel.
To each there own, that's why we have so many choices. LOL
Nope, sold it but wouldn't be upset about getting back into one. Lol. I had reasoned none of the newer ones should give me problems. I was wrong.Quote:

I am running a Ford Expedition EL and love it. My first Ford ever in 33 years of driving. They started doing things right so I gave them a chance. 2011 with 110,000 miles and the only non routine thing so far has been the right rear bearing. There isn't a rattle or squeak to be found and still running strong. The only thing missing that Chevy has is some good low end torque for towing the XLV. That I do miss.
Haha, Ford is gonna talk me back into GM, not Dusty!
The Jeep is v8 hemi and has air suspension. It did good for it's size but the wheelbase just feels too short. It works in a bind but I wouldn't want to regularly tow with it. It's obviously way different than towing with a 3/4 ton.
FORD is making my job easy.Quote:

Nice looking wave Dan. Where at in Alabama, what lake?
I came from a lifted tuned LBZ Duramax in 2014. Wasn't impressed by the then current GM interiors and had always had bad luck with Dodge so Powerstrokin I went. Still have a warranty for all the expensive stuff for another 65k miles or 7 years.
Ford all day, every day.
