Anyone travaling south please look out for a stolen Panga. It is an 18 ft white panga with a gray deck built by Blackman boats. It has a center
console with a 50 hp Yamaha 4 stroke. It was stolen in La Jolla Ca. on December 21. CF 0496 CN. Blackman built very few of these skiffs and they
look just like a mexican built Panga. I dont think this one even has the blackman name on it.
If you have any info please reply to me, pangamadness@hotmail.com or post info on this board. Thanks

What a bummer! I'll keep a lookout at Dana Point harbor. I'm down there at least a couple times a week.

Thanks everyone for keeping a look out. If you were wondering this was not my boat. It belonged to two good friends. My boat is still in the yard
not yet cleaned from the last fish that died on the deck.
The owners had no insurance and are following up on any leads. We expect the boat will be left on the side of the road some where and the moter will
be taken to Mex. However the boat would blend in easy in Mex. I will try to get a photo to post.
Gone to Baja there is a 18 foot Blackman built panga skiff in Percebu. I think itis yellow. You may have seen it.
Thanks again.

Dont know if you are already a member over at Bloodydecks.com or Sandiegofishing.com or not but these kinds of things will get a lot of exposure once
posted. Put the word ( and pictures) out to as many people as possible.
Hope you get it back in one piece.
Panga found in USA

This Panga was found! Boat and trailer all that was left. Found in a parking lot on Miramar road in San Diego. My guess is that some dirtbag gringo
is sporten a nice new 60 hp yamaha 4 stroke.

I feel your pain, pangamadness. I have had two boats and motors stolen over the years...no fun. Hope you trace the crook.
