FYI, If you are in New England and are looking for salvaged sailboat stuff, Maine Marine Salvage in Portland Maine (formerly Captain Jim's Marine Salvage) has great deals right now. The story is that the new owners bought the building land and inventory and intend to use it for a classic car/boat shop. They are selling off Captain Jim's inventory at really good prices. I was there yesterday and I saw a ton of hatches, non-tailing winches (at least two pairs of STs left), a ton of stainless bimini and dodger frames, a ton of teak, furlers, masts, rigging fittings, wheel steering gear, line/rope, sails, a whole area full of brass and bronze, and 36 sailboats in the yard in various states of disassembly. They may even let you take some stuff off the boats yourself. I was on one boat that seemed to have a complete volvo penta in it and I saw at least one atomic that looked reasonable (still in a boat).
The new owners are not sure they will be open next season as they really want to clear out the contents and may sell the inventory as a lot this winter. They say they will be open at least through the end of the month of october. They are open Weds & Sats. While I was there yesterday several folks came in from outside of Maine.
I have no connection to the business.
You can probably ask on their FB page if they have what you are looking for.
