1960 Lark 2 generator conversion?

[bashr52]

I just aquired a 1960 13.3 Boston Whaler with a 40hp Lark 2. The thing is in great condition, and I have no doubts it will start up with some minor maintenance. I'd like to add a generator to the thing though, so I can add some accessories like a trolling motor, fish finder, lights, etc. Is there a place to buy all the parts needed, or a conversion kit sold to do just that? It has a starter, and the wires for the generator, but nothing there.

If it still has the regulator box and bracket, then I'd try ebay, or some place like sea-way or stone and sons salvage. Be prepared to pay, though.
Hate to disappoint, but that generator only puts out 10 amps max. on a good day. It's much cheaper to just buy another deep cycle and put it up front.
