Last Night I had a 1988 15hp Mariner (long shaft, Manual start) stolen off the back of my skiff in Cambridge, MA. Identifiying marks are weathered sun faded damaged cowling, original grey paint that is in rough shape. The head is a bit discolored. If anyone see's this engine or an engine that looks like it please notifiy me ASAP (license plate or reg numbers).

I am offering $100 reward (I know it's not much . . . don't have a lot of money) + fishing trip for anyone that helps me locate the engine and/or the person who took it.

I will post pictures and the serial number.
