Hello Sharkey Marine,
Sorry to hear of your troubles and welcome to bft.

We have a newsletter going out this week and will include something about this incident. Hopefully it will help.

Thank you Mike!

I will keep the post updated as I get more information.
I can't imagine this guy getting too far.

Fortunately for me, this is not my boat, but it is a fellow NJPPC member's boat and I feel real bad for this to happen to him...

I'm just trying to help him out any way that I can.....


I will also pass the word onto him about the newsletter.

Thanks again!

On behalf of myself and the owner of the vessel that was hit, we would like to thank all who helped in their own way with the identifying, locating and reporting the suspected vessel.
I photographed the vessel today, delivered them to the NJSP.
Within in 8 hours I got a call from the owner of the hit vessel that the NJSP have made contact with the suspected vessel owner and he confessed that he hit the boat.
Thank you again to all of you every where, for pulling together all of your resources which lead to this outcome!
I will leave the location out of this, in order to protect the innocent Marina in which it is docked.
The NJSP will handle the rest from here...
