Boat Motor Graveyard

[OhNoMrBill1960]

I was out looking for a lower unit for my Merc 650 1964 Vintage when someone told me about an operation that had been in business for 3 generations. When I found them I think I struck the motherload for boat motor parts. They literally had thousands of dismantled Motors cowels and hoods everywhere for every make and model I could think of. All older stuff like a Seahorse 5.1/2 etc. I asked why didn't he sell this stuff online and he wasn't interested. My question is. Are places like this common place. Should I encourage him to advertise on Iboats ?

Hi OutonBiz<br />I thought that if i posted a phone number or anything it would be censored or construed as indirect advertising. I was just curious if there would be a market for something like this.<br /><br />Thanks for the reply

Mr. Bill,<br /><br />Was it Twin City Outboard? If so, many of us have referred customers to them.<br /><br />Matter of fact, many of us refer customers all the time.<br /><br />The moderators and owners of the board only have a problem with someone trying to directly sell on the board.<br /><br />Referrals to posts are OK.

Hope that's not Cornwall UK <br />But even Cornwall Vermont is a bit far for me..<br /><br />There are also boat motors wreckers here and they are invaluable for non consumables like hoods and cowlings etc...
