Thank you for the info. I will try to post some pics if I cant figure it out. As far as for the government auctions they used to sell the hull and motors now they chop them up and scrap them. There are ton of good motors that they get but now they destroy them all.
Its tough I work part time as a tow boat operator and we contract with the goverment to tow these pangas and other boats. All get cut up and destroyed.

Sounds like another example of government doing what it does best.
Ya know it makes me think. These engines are most likely stolen if the numbers are ground off which would piss me off for sure. But whats worse is the .gov if and when they do confiscate these boats and engines don't give anyone a chance to use them or buy them at a discount. They F-ing DESTROY them! If my boat was stolen and taken south of the border for sure I'd be pissed, but if I found out the .gov cut up the perfectly good hull and scraped a $10-$12k engine I don't know what I would think. Reminds me of the cash for clunkers program. What a f-ing waste!

From what I have been told the government holds on to these motors for a period of time. They try to find out whos motor or boat it belongs to if the insurance already paid out then they sell them. If not the motor and boat goes back.
No serial number on the freeze plug, when ordering parts they want to know te serial number and I know it will help. Thank you for the help.
