Boat Repossession Service Agency
At first glance, boat repossessions don't seem that different from a car repo. Nothing could be further from the truth. Cars, SUVs and trucks have two basic styles, two wheel drive and four wheel drive. Boats have inboards, outboards, inboard outboards and jets, each requiring the agent to have different and specific knowledge and skills as to what needs to be inspected and dealt with prior to towing a boat on a trailer. There have been many times where a lien holder hires Joe Tow to repossess a boat on a trailer, Joe finds the collateral sitting on the trailer in the debtor's driveway. They hook up the trailer to their truck and drive off thinking this was an easy repo assignment. What Joe didn't know is that the inboard outboard lower unit was stored in the down position to prevent the hydraulic hoses from leaking. Joe dragged the lower unit all the way back to the shop and did thousands of dollars in damage to the boat's lower unit and propeller. Please don't hire Joe Tow, hire a pro like Speedy Repo!
In Water Boat Repossession Agency
One if by land, two if by sea! Yes it was from Longfellow's poem, Paul Revere's Ride. Here at Speedy Repo it has become a training tool to determine how many repo agents to take out on a boat repossession. Boats on trailers can easily be handled by one person. To repo any boat in water we require a minimum of two agents to be present. Of course larger boats and yachts require even more agents to be on hand. Our policy is any boat less than 30 feet can be safely handled by two people, any boat or yacht in the 30 foot range requires 3 people, etc. That is a good rule of thumb for fair weather conditions — throw in bad weather or nighttime recoveries and you will need even more repo agents on deck. Safety of our personnel and protecting the asset is our primary focus.
Private Party Boat Repossessions
Most repossession services won't accept private party assignments at all, let alone private party boat repossessions. If you are the owner of a boat that is in the possession of someone that is not named on the title, we can help. This situation would be considered a private party boat seizure and is an assignment we would be able to accept. To hire us we would need a copy of the boat's title or the Coast Guard documentation of ownership for larger boats. We would also require the hold harmless from our web site. Our email address is on our hold harmless — if you email us the title and the hold harmless, one of our dispatchers will call you back to gather information as to where you believe your boat to be located. We will then dispatch our repo agents to get out there and place your boat in our impound.
If you don't know where your boat or yacht is being kept, we have skip tracers on staff that are able to find it. We have automatic license plate reader camera networks that can help us locate your boat when it is moved on a trailer with a license plate. We can also track the movements of the person's vehicle by their license plate if your boat is being kept in water. Please call us today to discuss your situation — Speedy Repo will be able to help!
