OMG, major score today on parts for the resto. Met this great guy a couple months ago who lives not to far from me, I had bought a boat trailer from him. His story is he buys up junk boats strips all the hardware, engines, trailers, etc. from them and resells it all. Well when I was there the first time I was just outside looking at the 14 trailers he had in the yard. Anyways jump ahead to today. I had placed a CL add looking for the steering linkage I need for my motor, and as fate would have it he contacted me. So today I went back over to his house and was allowed in the inner sanctum of the garage and barn. OMG!!!!! I could have spent hours and hours looking everything over in there. The rafters where filled with steering systems, control cables, motors, lower units, had these big stacker trays with any kind of hardware you can think of..... it was nothing short of amazing to me, I love stuff like that. I walked away with a set of control cables, the old OMC ends for them, brand new looking fuel line/bulb w/ connectors, and the linkage/mount piece and arm for my steering for $50. He saved me atleast $75 from what I was planning on spending for that stuff, probably more.
Oh and he is redoing a Starcraft Chief I think he said was the model. Wish I had my camera with me I would have taken some pictures. For the entrance to the cuddy area he made a big walk though circle all out of aluminum, looked pretty cool.
