Not too long ago Dudley Malone advertised in the Propeller that he had 2 for sale.Also, I saw somewhere that a complete motor was available for under $2,000, which wouldn't be too bad of a deal as Dudley wanted $1500 each for the 2 he had & I think that was a good price.
call Seaway marine if you want a new gearcase for the 45. I bought one about a year ago and I am prety sure they still have some new ones. They had some made so that there would be new stock available.
Dave, at Seaway, told me they had a complete engine, I forgot the price, but it was $1,000 less without the gearcase. I asked dave, then, can I buy the gearcase for a grand? He said, "No, $1,200."
Chris, I clled your mom, yesterday, and offered my new 45 gearcase for sale...But she said you only plan to run three races...I'm thinking, maybe, I could just loan it to you...
What three races do you plan to run? I've been told these cases last a long time...
Also, Frank Banducci has two used ones, that Pop Curtis just went through..but Frank needs a mid section.......and maybe, you could find him a mid section, and trade some part and some cash with him...
I have extra mid sections, right now, but not sure what the price should be for them...(Housing only, no clamps or swivel brackets)..
Keep me posted, I have Frank's e-mail, if you don't, but I don't want anyone missing anyraces becasue they don't have the parts...
I'm doing really well finding parts, really close to actully putting the boat in the water. but i'm still missing some parts. I still need a gear foot, i'm kind of looking for a used one, but a cheaper new one can work. I also need a canapy. i hear its a pain to run with out one, i have a 94 hoffman so if anyone out there is hanging on to an extra one or has an old one laying around i would like to get in tuch. remember guys i'm a college kid, so really price matters. the cheaper the better, but i spend what it takes.
thanks
