Trading, swopping or selling used parts.

[Joe4711]

Hi all,

New to this board and the boating comunity in general.
Used to be a sail boater in South Africa but hav'nt done any boating in the last 16 yrs.
Just aquired a 1981 16,5' Wellcraft with 1978, 75hp Johnson Motor and trailer.

All seem to be in fairly good shape and should restore to a nice little fishing boat.

I ordered a Seloc Manual with online access for the motor and am just about to try a start up, so I can determine if it would be wise to put more money into it,.

Going thrue the engine I can see some parts missing, like the air intake silencer and one or two other parts, so I have been looking around the net to see if there is places where people can sell/trade used parts, somewhere more boat specific than e-bay, very much like on the firearm forums, but have not fond anything yet. Any advise?

Thanks,
Joe,
