Finding A Lower Unit - '89 Evinrudge 30hp

[oolichan]

I've been given a free Evinrude 30hp long shaft outboard. I believe it is a 1989. The Lower Unit is shot and I am looking for a replacement - I figure a new or re-manufactured bottom end will be much cheaper than buying a new outboard for my new Lowe r1455.

The lower unit is stamped as 325532-d2 and the engine model number is CE30RLCUB.

I'm obviously searching eBay and Craigslist for a part. I don't see many lower units for sale on either. My preference would be to buy from an online vendor that can sell me a unit that is tested.

Are there any online sellers that specialize in this type of stuff? If you were me, how would you search for this part?

Appreciate any input.

It's an '87. What is the issue w/current lower unit?

Hey Everyone - wanted to circle back and thank you for the links to the Salvage yards. I have Tim's Outboards assembling a unit for me this week for what I consider a fair price.
