I have always wondered where those boats are comming from at the 8th line of oro and highway 11. Looked like lots of scrap boats in there but every once in a while there would be a beauty sittin in the middle of the pile.

One was a Brown coloured Bass Boat with "bassmania' written on the stern and a lrage St Croix sticker on the side.

Anyone missing a boat ?

 

I understood they were found in Alliston not the boat graveyard on hwy 11.

Those thieves should have their fingers smashed with a 10 pound ball pein hammer and I'm willing to lay the first smashing. When done, they wouldn't even be able to pick their schnoz, never mind picking up something that doesn't belong to them.
