hunting something I know someone has laying around!

[mrwillis]

I have a motorguide brute 747 that I have and am putting on a boat to give to a family in the church I work at. What I don't have is the
bracket it mounts onto. The motor works fine. I had the motor, and ended up running into a stump, the bracket broke, and so I bought
a gator mount. I then bought a bigger motor, no bracket. SO, in order to get this motor and boat to this family this boat (kid has autism),
I need to find a mount. I dont care if it is an older one...just something the motorguide fits in. I have been looking on ebay, and have found a couple,
and I don't mind paying for one, but I don't have that much money. I am trying to do something nice for someone. If you have one laying around,
holler. I've also looked on Craigslist, and put some calls and emails into some shops.

Thanks...

I may as well, post a pic of what it is.

I don't even have a pic. It isn't the trolling motor...just the mounting bracket for a bow mount Motorguide foot-control trolling motor. I know that there are people like myself that have upgraded trolling motors, or just brackets, and have one sitting in the garage...thinking to themselves that "surely I will use that somewhere"...LOL. That's me. I end up giving away more stuff that I thought I would use that I ended up not using.

Hope this helps...holler if you need more information. I'm actually going to recarpet this thing for them these next two days, then would like to mount the troller, two extra fishfinders I had, and give it to them for Easter.

Mo' Money, that is up to you. If you are serious about it, I would have you send it to the church where I work, and I will be more than happy to pay for the shipping. The address is: Central Christian Church
c/o Matt Willis
303 Buchanan Dr
Lawrenceville, Illinois 62439

We can do this a couple different ways. If you want to send it up and I will reimburse you for shipping. Or, if you want to find out how much shipping is going to be, I will send you money early. That is up to you. This is a huge blessing, and I will do what you want/need to get done!

Thanks,
