Salvage Yards?
« on: November 26, 2006, 03:19:42 PM »
Where are the best boat salvage yards? 

Got a couple things to look for over the winter.

I know of Scheulers out on 76 here in Appleton, and I believe there is a big one down in Milwaukee.

Anything else that's going to have vintage '85-current boats?

Mainly looking to replace the control for the motor.  I'd like to get the lockout and trim back on it.   More the trim, so just a handle with the toggle switch would work too.

Other than that, I just like walking around salvage yards for "items of opportunity."  Misc latches, rigging, etc.

I love salvage yards for the same reason. You don't know what you need until you see it. If you find one let me know when you're going!

Kendor is great but they sure don't seem any more inexpensive than anyone else. I expected greater savings since its a surplus outlet.

I know that Russ will not like this but I think that Lakeside (you know the other place)  ;D ;D ;D will have the parts for the shifter.

Corey, send me some info or pic of what you need and I might be able to get it at work.  We have a couple of parts boats sitting around.  r_meiborg@shorelineinc.com
