Not telling!

Seriously though, we have pretty low crime rates, so the chance of it going walkies is pretty slim. Marine insurance for our area doesn't require wheel clamps or hitch locks on trailers. They do advise engine bolt locks, but I take the view if it's going to be nicked, they ain't going to undo the bolts, they'll just fire up the chainsaw and take the transom with it.

It's sitting on a 7 foot trailer, and overhangs the back by about 9 inches.

A quick swing across, six bolts later and away we go. Well it may not have been quite as simple as that!

Nice One

Looking good
Excellent boat, nice trailer, but your choice of mudguards could be better
