Stolen engine bracket/swim platform

[futbal2332]

Its not hunting but i just want get as many people to no.

My transome bracket was stolen within the last 2 days, it was a D and D marine bracket. it was a twin engine with swim platform. it was stolen from inside the boat in my back yard. brand new never painted. there was a crack on the port side of the bracket on the edge between the swim plaform and the motor box from falling off my truck. i am in south jersey. gloucester city. for all of you who no that these are not small so it had to be a few poeple. we have a feeling who did it but we have no proff so if anyone comes across one that looks too good to be true my number is 856-534-4686. it was for a 89 mako 261. has the armstrong pie plates on it as well. we notified all the scrap yards so it may still be floating around somewhere. thanks erik

I'll keep an eye out..Weren't you selling that boat a few months back? I remember seeing a 26 in the area on Classicmako?Maybe.
Do you still have it? If so, still for sale?

[futbal2332]

i would sell everything but the trailer then it just give me more of a way to tell the wife i cant have an empty trailer, like the said before. it is a project. but make me an offer . thanks erik

[erhino]

hey futbal give me some info on the boat

[futbal2332]

its a mako 261 1989. the gas tank is out and needs to be replaced. i would pull out the coffin and replace that and take out the wet foam and pour new. i was gonna redo the transom and enclose it with the bracket but now i have no brackey anyway. the top is off. all the controls are off but i have new ones with new harness. i would redo the wiring as well and new everything in the bilge area. if someone is looking for a full blown project come get it. i can take no lees then 3 without the trailer and with the trailer no less then 6. im already losing big and just rather buy a new boat and be done with it

thanks for all the help guys. the bracket was sitting in the boat which the back of the boat is right at the back of the house in gloucester. and there wasnt enough room on either side of the boat to get the bracket out that way since the house and the fence are to close. there was only one way to get it out and that threw the neightbors yard which i may add are junkies that rent and the son just got out of jail for theft(go figure). which i no he scraps because i saw him dragging an old tredmill down the street a couple days ago . and i overherd his father yelling at him for stealing the heads off my motors last spring. all in all i guess most of it is my fault for leaving it in the boat but the damn this is 7ft long and i dont have a garage so it was the only place to put it. and it had to be takin during the day becasue everyone on the block is workign then except for the people in that house which dont have jobs. one of the reasons they have to be out by feb 15 for non payment of rent. and another reason i think its them is becasue we have no fence between our yards becasue there landlord dont want one so there ofther children play in our yard so you can see the bracket in the back with the open transom. and there is nor other way to see the back of the boat unless you are in our yard so thefore it had to be plotted on when to take it becasue you need more then one person and need not to make any noise while doing it which with something that big and heavy to get out of the boat would make noise is pretty hard. well im done rambling on it just has me to mad right now. someone please come buy the boat so i can get a new one and fish this summer. thanks erik
