Re: identify engine

Did you get a clear title? As a former law enforcement officer a good rule of thumb is if the id tag is unreadable it might be stolen. I would do some checking. They guy you got it from might not have stolen it or the guy before that, but it it was ever stolen and you are found in posession the least that can happen is they take it and you are out your money. (most likely) the worst is a charge for receiving stolen property.

Re: identify engine

good deal. Don't know about Scotland, but you'd be surprised how many outboards get stolen around here.
