stock engines with no model# or serial#

[QUINAULTRACING]

What is(anyone) your thoughts on selling stock engines with model# & serial# drilled and removed. Steve August cell 360-580-4252

serial #s

The obvious answer would be that it was stolen. I've had serial # tags fall off because they were riveted on and the rivets just failed.

Most Yamatos don't have the ID tag on them, but the serial # is stamped on the side of the block.

if it is a 302 I would contact Pat Gleason as he had one stolen out of a trailer a year or so ago.

did ya burn your fingers on it?

No serial # = HOT! Course I have a boat trailer with no serial#, took off the sticker to paint the trailer and promptly lost it. Lost the title as well. No prob, trailer has permanent tags! Well, no prob until a cop asks me why I have an NC registered boat on a VA registered trailer being towed by an NC registered truck.

If it's an OMC, you should be able to look at the freeze plugs on the block assuming it is the factory block, and pull some numbers.

I've bought 2 engines new, had the papers, and when sold them, the tags had not been on the clamp bracket... Then I've bought used engines that the clamp bracket was changed for some reason, and the guy forgot to switch tags, so the model/serial is incorrect.....Just do your homework first.

Yes most stock "fishing" motors have the serial # staped in the block one place or another. As said OMC is ussally in a welch plug. Mercury ussually is stamped in block on top.

Questioning My Integrity?

Steve is questioning a 302 I recently sold him. I obtained it from Pete Nydahl & he obtained it from Andrew Marquis who obtained it from a fella out of Pa. The fella from Pa. purchased it from the late Don Allen Sr.

Now Steve.... Darrell Sorenson states very few Yamatos have ID tags. As a matter a fact the other 302 in my shop does not have one nor do the
(3) 102s in the shop!

Kind of funny that it was brought to my attention that you would find something to complain about!

I'll give ya 100 bucks for it

I think the problem was that Steve was not offered the pedigree you've presented here. Instead he got something else as a response.

Well your incorrect w/your statement, I provided this exact info in a email to him over a week ago.

Thank you very much for clearing this up ... I'd suggest that Steve should delete this thread, as it is resolved
