That was Andy Driver.He had a matched pair of 14.5X30 lab cleavers off a 21'Lightning cat.There was a reward but I think it was around 500.00 from what I can rember.They were stolen at the Sunshine Sindicate end of summer shoot-out in September in Sanford. Mike T.

This thread reminds me again about one of my pet peeves with Merc.....Why can't they stamp in a serial number somewhere on the lower unit like they do on the powerheads??
At least it would sure make it easier to know what parts to order, and whether or not a particular lower unit was original with the particular engine it is on!

engrave your SS# into them... that way if they are ever found they can find you

SS# are very easy to get.. all you need is a name and address. but if that is on tehre the police can atleast get in touch with you.. if the schmuck that steals your lower really wants it he can get you SS
