I've been looking for a number of used parts for a while now. I;m not in any hurry so I can wait for the good deals. However, at this point I'm just looking for an old boat that I can buy complete and part out myself.

How about yacht sales? salvage or repo's??????

i have been buying boats and taking the power out any thing over 10 years and putting in the dump :evilb: its crazy but banks dont loan on old ****

Personally I had an issue with them over my 33' Powerplay. A boat that was sold as a recovered theft, only to find out that it was still "unrecovered" as in, still a "stolen boat." The file on that boat grew to over 4" thick before it was resolved. The crew at Bent Boat/ US Auctions were useless and, in the opinion of the Asst. U.S. Attorney who intervened in the case, "Criminally Complicit" with regards to their role in the possession, manufacturing of documents, and sale of the vessel.

Sad to hear that. I guess all things go bad over time.
