Dear Boat Owner:
I’m Kevin Watson, developer and owner of National Boat Registry, a new national service available to you to aid in protecting your watercraft investment. I’d like to take a few moments of your time to provide a snap shot of what NBR can do for you!
• Store digitally retrievable photographs of your craft.
• Store complete year, brand, model, and hull identification information.
• Store motor year, brand, model and serial number identification.
• Store complete description of your craft and installed equipment.
• Provide password-protected edit access to your account.
• Provide 24-hour password-protected Internet access to your craft’s information regardless of location.
• These services and more, for $14.99/year.
While you may have some of this information at hand if your craft becomes the object of thieves while you’re at home, do you travel? If so, do you carry all this information with you AND separately from your craft? If you have it stored at home, is somebody there that you can contact in just minutes to provide that information to law enforcement officers, at your location?
NBR will be there with your information at a few keystrokes, when your mind is still trying to comprehend that some criminal actually stole YOUR BOAT while off on a long awaited, long distance trip. Boat registrations are usually kept in the boat. Pictures of your boat are at home. Who keeps track of boat trailer license numbers if you can’t find the registration?
With a combined 25 years of experience in law enforcement and the field of boating, I can tell you that the ability to rapidly provide complete identifying information to law enforcement is the single-most critical factor to recovering a stolen boat. Time is your enemy because your boat can be rapidly leaving the area stolen from while you’re fumbling through identifying details with the police.
NBR is being made available to law enforcement agencies to be directly accessed to get your craft’s information NOW! This is all information that law enforcement needs to first and foremost, issue a BOLO (Be On the Look Out) to local working patrol officers. The information will next be required to enter your craft into the computerized national crime information database for stolen property.
As you can see, timely provision of information becomes critical to the swift recovery of your boat when it’s traveling and you’re filing a report!
Additionally:
• A "Wanted" flyer feature allows you to print off all your pertinent information, suitable for public posting in case of theft.
• The investigating police agency’s information can be added to your boat’s information to assist investigators.
• Your boat information in either case, is not viewable by the general public and maintains your privacy.
• The potential for an insurance discount on your boat during your NBR subscription period.
• Again, all of this for $14.99/year.
If you can find a better service that will do more and cost less, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of it. With my background in law enforcement and a boat owner myself, we can use all the help we can get!
