I believe I saw an almost exact match on eBay about a week or so ago... try doing a search as someone had parted out an entire engine and was selling the pieces.
Cheers,
Jeremy Campbell

Gord, good to hear he could help you.

Dave is a busy guy so if people find it difficult to get to him keep trying.

I probably drive him crazy because I just keep hitting he speed dial until he answers. :D

You are absolutely right Don, of all the people I have dealt with with respect to these vintage boats we all treasure so much I have to say Dave is the absolute best, most dedicated, and above all most honest and fair.

I am sure there are many great vendors out there that have earned they're stripes but I have found all my dealings with Dave to be way above and beyond normal customer service.

Dave is more like a friend and colleague than a business associate, he really cares, his passion and out right knowledge are his greatest assets.
