1988 15hp Mariner stolen (cambridge, ma) - Please Help

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.

One more identifying mark is the chip in the lower unit housing on the right side. The is also no zinc (trim tab).

Thanks you guys!! I just filed a police report with Cambridge Police. I'm not holding my breath, but it sure would be nice to have the engine back. I am so pissed, because I just spent the last few weeks rebuiding the powerhead. . . . just finished on tuesday night.

Those bastards, when found, should be de-balled and dipped in a vat of sewage waste so they can feel the pain....
