    Motor I’d

    Found a boat for sale that has no tag that identifies the motor in the usual place . Some one has removed it. Is there another area with a number that will identify this motor. Mercury 90hp

    "Might" have a sticker or a welch plug inside the cowling, depending on which type 90hp and about when it was built.

    Either way... I'd steer clear if the serial tag is missing.

    I think they removed the tag because they put 90hp on a boat only rated for 70hp

    I'm no lawyer, but isn't that much like covering up a parking violation with a felony?
