Remember this still is the boat business........any guesses how long a storage room full of new in the box Merc 400s would last before someone steals them?

My brother in law had 60+ props stolen from a yacht factory.....some new, some used and they probably ended up in a scrap yard for pennies on the dollar of what they were worth. A few missing sets of new in the box 400s would be a hard hit to take for a boat builder. Even at a cost of 25K per motor if you lose 6 motors that is 150K gone.
