Members cragrat Posted August 17, 2011 Members Posted August 17, 2011 On monday my motor got stolen off the back of my boat at the kmart/lonestar parking lot in little rock. It it is a 1996 mercury 15hp. The guy that stole it was in a grey pickup possibly a GMC. I know it is probably gone forever just thought i would put the word out. Anybody have a good 15 to 25 hp motor they need to part with?

What a brazen SOB!! Maybe I'm just in a ripe mood right now, but if I had caught someone doing that to you I would have beat them senseless!! What is the matter with people? Can't keep their darn hands to themselves... Any pics of the motor that you could post? Possibly dig up a photo online of a similar looking truck and post that here? You've still got the serial numbers on a title or whatever, right? Did you file a police report? cricket.c21.com
Flatbottom Boy Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Sorry to hear about that, I hope the guy sinks hit boat with the anchor rope secured to his ankle. I am getting ready to sell my boat and it has a 4 stroke 25 horse suzuki on it, the motor is a 2003 electric start. Not really wanting to split it all up, but we can talk if that's something that interest you, if not...no skin off my back. Good luck!

Bill Babler might have a good 20 or 25 also...if he hasn't sold it already. Sorry about your stolen outboard Cragrat, happens alot because they are an easy target and can be parted out and sold on Ebay fast. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but in all my years I have never seen a stolen outboard get recovered by the law....I really don't think they even waste their time trying.
jdmidwest Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I keep a long shank padlock thru the thumb turn holes just to prevent that from happening. But I do worry about the trolling motor everytime I leave it sitting in a parking lot. I have not found a good way to lock it down.

Wrench I think you have a boat problem, didn't you just tell me you built two boats for fishing the whites? They have meetings for people like you

They have meetings for people like you I know...its like every rod needs its own boat. I'm sick with it, and the meetings just make it worse.
