Buying a 2nd hand outboard
Submitted by Industrymanboy on Wed, 2015-06-17 08:35
I am looking at buying a 2nd hand outboard motor off gumtree.
I have found one that looks like a good deal, however after talking to the guy I got the feeling that all was not quiet right. So I did some digging through his history on gumtree and found out he is advertising 2 other outboards at the same time.
So to my question, is there any way to make sure I am not buying a stolen outboard?
Cheers

You could always note the model #’s and ring the coppers beforehand to cover yourself .. The bloke might just be buying them cheap fixing them up and reselling ..
