Hey folks I found this old 2004 Mirage being sold locally, minus the drive and seat. Seat is easy to find, but I am wondering if anyone may have a drive they want to sell?

Thanks

I’m wondering if it was accidentally removed from someone’s roof rack without there knowledge with the seat and drive stored safely inside?!  Just saying I’d want to find out without a doubt that it’s not hotter then a $2 pistol. Not that buying one unknowingly makes the buyer a bad guy, just throwing my $0.02 in there....

It was made nearly 20 years ago, easy to imagine it becoming separated from its drive and seat in a legal manner. How would you find out w/o a doubt that it's not stolen?

@Squidder_K: Can't help you, but good luck!

That thought has crossed my mind as well, but the seller works where I work, and Uncle Sam frowns on us having records of any kind.  Now who he bought it from?  I do plan on running the hull number just to make sure. 

Are you imitating me for fun or to be mean Mojo?  You're overthinking this I think.  If the Squidder wants to ensure a clear conscience, one call to local police would be enough.

I'm in the market for a used Outback and when I ask "What year is it?" no one seems to know - they know when they bought it - and I have to tell them where to look on the hull to find the manufacturing year.  So, even if it was a stolen hull, maybe one in 100 people would know the serial number, unless it was a brand new boat and they had dealer receipts or were like me: totally anal about keeping receipts long after I've used-up and thrown out whatever it was I bought.  And if it was the second or third or fifth owner, the original receipt is long gone.

Squidder, you might look on the Faccebook Marketplace for a drive unit.  There was a V2 drive for sale last week, claimed to be what was left after the Revo was destroyed in an automobile accident.  Wasn't of interest to me, but I remember it being rather reasonably priced.

Good luck in your search.

I think you might be right there!! 😝 going to tough to find an older one, maybe make a mold of it and then a plug with a trolling motor in it 😉

I have a 24# thrust drive well Watersnake. It doesn't take long for it to get really hot, and it does maybe 3 mph in calm conditions on my Outback. Just feels underpowered, plus there are only 2 speed settings, which makes attaining a specific trolling speed next to impossible.

Granted, it's probably 10 years old, the new ones might have more features.

Just my 2 cents.
