Wanted: Used Mirage Drive

Does anyone have a spare or used mirage drive they’d like to sell?  I’m an idiot and LOST mine this weekend.  I know it’s unlikely, but I figure I’d put it out there.

I’m hoping to find one for a cheaper than $540 (new price with turbo fins) is crazy expensive.

Have you thought about putting a "Lost" sign up where you um... left it?

You never know man, there are a few decent people still out there, and you might get it back.

Yeah for sure most people prolly wouldn't know what it's for anyway.

I have to ask... How did you lose your mirage drive?? Did you forget it somewhere or did you donate it to Davy Jones' locker?

Exactly what I was thinking. Most people would probably mutter something along the lines of: "What the *bleep* is this contraption with pedals and fins?".

Hope you get it all sorted Rumluck

I have seen them on Craigslist PDX from time to time.  Noah pointed out one to me once and I tried to buy it for my wooden SOT Kayak, but I asked too many questions and the guy wouldn't give me his phone number, he wanted mine instead. I pointed out that he was the one selling it not me and he cut off communications with me. I set up a google number for the transaction, but I couldn't get him to respond again. I figured it was stolen because his BS story was that he sold the kayak separately  .   My plan was to meet him, get his license plate number (and phone number), buy the drive, then have the serial number run to see if it was stolen.  I think he caught on.

Craig you're either a detective by trade or you really hate thieves. Either way, bravo.

Nope, Davy didn’t get it…but I’m sure someone did.

Basically I'm an idiot: I was out crabbing/camping with my kids in Tillamook Bay area and had a bunch of gear.  While loading up to head home I strapped the boat to the roof, loaded up the camping gear, then started talking to someone and got sidetracked.  I believe I placed the drive in the back of the kayak on my roof (don't ask...I'm an idiot).  I did a double check to be sure no gear was left laying around and drove off…didn’t even realize I was missing it until I got back to Portland.  I’ve been back and searched the road pretty thoroughly and found nothing.

I’ve done this plenty of times with a cup of coffee but…man this one hurts.  Trust me, there has been a lot of cursing, searching…and maybe a bit of crying since then.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will keep my eye on Craigslist.

Zee, that is a good idea and I think worth the effort.  Looks like I’ll be making a 'lost drive' sign and heading back there again.

My bad.  Sorry Lee, but you look 6'5" in your profile pic.

Post it up on ifish under the "Lost or stolen Property Listings" too. Hope you find one.
