I hate to hear that...We kept a ski boat at Choctaw for 4-5 years until the theivery got unbearable. I had a friend loose an entire pontoon boat from the same dock. He found it beached a few days latter and of course the motor was gone... My friend was a retired policeman and talked with the owner of the marina who's exact response was, "Dang, sorry about that."

Our boat was on a lift with a cover on the boat and on the dock where you had to go around the office to get to it. The lift kept the boat very high and you almost had to let air out of the tanks to get into it. Over the years we lost two innertubes, several batteries, ski ropes, knee boards, life jackets, coolers...you name it. The last time it happened I went to the office and complained to the lady working and her response was.."You must have alot of really nice stuff" I told her to hand me my extra keys hanging on the peg board behind her and I moved my boat.

Most of the nicer marinas have gates with coded access from the shore. Someone could still get your stuff from the water, but I would imagine that any marina would be better than Choctaw.
