Mr.Slickfish,
I went back to look at your posts for 'get the net' to get a pic of the motors but the photo links weren't active anymore.
I thought it was remote steer, but couldn't remember for sure, and also didn't know if it was a tiller or foot control on the TM and what thrust lb it was...
Can you advise so we are watching out for the right things?

And also... thieves are about the lowest life form around, and I seriously hope you can find out who this was so they can get what's coming to them!

From the pic (which is a little blurry)....That does look EXACTLY like my motor minus the controls.

The minnkota is a 50lb thrust tiller driven

I did email back and forth with that duud a little today. After some contact I think he's legit....thanks tho!


My wife is really hammerin' me to just let the whole thing go. She's watched me pouring over internet ads...making calls...and gerally obsessing about it. She asked me...

"What are you gonna do, go to Pitt or Cleveland every time U think U might have a lead?"..."What R U gonna do when you find it?" "Are you going to chase every boat on PI with a merc kicker for the rest of your life?"

She knows me pretty well. If some duud is trying to sell me my motor in his garage....Or if I found my motor at the launch...I definately would b a ragin' vigilante vs. call the cops...and it would end poorly for him, me, and my family...over a couple of boat motors. As always...she's right

I have opted to "let it go"...and maybe the cops will get lucky. Thanks to everyone for their searching and condolences.
