I looked but couldn’t determine what kind of faciltity this is. The term “storage” usually implies renting space for something for a period of time. People who do not have wet slips typically try to keep their boats in or near a marina, or perhaps at home if they have space. Boats sometimes sit for long periods of inactivity due to owner issues such as health problems, financial problems, business travel, divorse situations, etc.
But yes, it is possible that maybe this facility was used for parking a boat in between outings. It would be a challenge to steal and store one boat much less three so this is an interesting case. Stealing a boat with an unknown maintenance history is risky in itself! ;)
Good points.
It is not uncommon in this part of the country for people to put up high performance boats between outings, so that is what I was thinking.
Since these boats are apparently high end, I would not be surprised to learn that they are being smuggled onto ships to be sold overseas. I recall seeing a piece on TV once about this sometimes being the fate of stolen expensive cars.
I hope that it is just theft and not part of a terrorist plan.
