That's a great idea!!!!!

Sorry but, I left my tinfoil hat at home this morning so the black helicopters aren't visible to me. Enjoy the paranoia session though.

Next thing you know, there'll be some company driving around town taking pictures of you house and putting them on the internet. WHen that happens, we'll all be doomed, dooooomed I tell you.

lol, A+

With the foil on the roof they will never find me.

I see this post as nothing more than to bring this to the attention of boat owners. So need to become a smart arrse about it.

Thanks KD for the heads up.

Thanks USA-1.

You're right, it's nothing more than a "customer service" type announcement. I run a store demo so I'm the least affected by this of anyone. My TX numbers go back to the dealer. But I thought as often as the users of the TFF like to show off their rides they should know folks have the ability to look up their address unless they blur out the TX numbers.

Ironically it's probably the non-boat owners who are making the most jokes.

All of those same houses that are empty during a tourney are going to be empty during the work week too....or the majority of them...Thats when most of the daytime burglaries occur anyways....I think yall are blowing this way out of proportion. Criminals mostly drive around and case their target homes before committing burglaries....they don't go to the local boat ramp and scope out TX#'s.....or go to the trouble of running license plate numbers to find out where you live. they are more interested n drving by your home to see how protected it is, to see if they can openly see anything of value, if you leave your garage door open during the daytime or at night, if you have a bunch of newspaper's on your driveway indicating you might be out of town.....Again...I dont agree with this either....but I'm not worried in the least bit by it. I'm more worried about going out to eat with my family without getting hit by a drunk or being robbed while in a convenience store or something like that more than I am of this. Just my .02.

You can do the same thing with a license plate number.

yep

Conspiracy Theory.

I looked all over the TP&W site and couldnt find the Tx number look up... What did I miss?

Look guys. This is a GREAT service. Im buying a boat from a guy. I take the TX numbers and make sure that this boat is registered/OWNED by the one selling it. If you don't have a title to a boat you can find out who owned this last and contact them. (I've had to do it) Its a GREAT idea to blur the TX numbers when you are trying to sell or you post on the Net. There are crooks out there but don't knock the service.

Given your history with boat purchases, there should be a database to warn the seller, shouldn't there?

there already is that if you go to google you can type in an address and it shows the front of your house from the street.... lol

With all Due Respect FB....... The boat was GIVEN to me.
