I thought about ebay....I would definetly have to part out as the
whole motor would be pricey to send and disclose its titleless. The
last time I sent a motor across country it cost me close to $1.50 a
pound. I bet its more as gas has almost doubled. I guess parting out
would bring a few bucks if I took it apart and no title would be
required for the parts. I would consider going in some of these
directions once I had a marina I could trust to hook me up with
another dependable outboard.

I guess the next step is that find a decent marina or a place to hook
me up with another outboard motor.

Thanks for the help everyone,
Chris

Illinois does not require titles for outboard motors. You could sell them,
pawn them, take them to a flea market..no problem. The only time the state
gets involved is when you buy a used boat, they want to know the cost of the
motor added onto the cost of the boat so they can charge you sales tax on
the motor, too.
