Sorry to hear about the theft. Those older small outboards are worth more than you might think because all new ones are 4 stroke engines and heavier than the older ones. Keep an eye on Craiglist.
I can’t wait for one of these thugs to show up here so I can get them on surveillance cameras!
We arrived last Friday evening to discover someone had stolen the outboard motor off our fishing boat. In addition they had attempted to steal the small chainsaw bear attached to our front porch, breaking the railings it is attached to in the process. We have narrowed the time frame down to between Sunday Oct 6th and Wednesday Oct 9th when the cabin was empty. The outboard motor was very (and I mean very!) old and in fairness unsecured and as such cannot be worth very much. None-the-less were disappointed that someone would do this and will need to be more vigilant in the future. Thought we would share as an FYI.
