where do I buy inboard hardware?
 

I am building an 18' mahogany runabout. Besides the engine, I am
going to need all the specialized hardware such as shafts, props,
rudder, stuffing box, exhaust ports, water pickup, etc..

I am aware of Glen-L but I would like to know if anyone knows of any
other suppliers in North America.

There is a guy just east of Montreal, in Cnambly, who should be able to
help you out.

He specializes in props etc. His name is Real Proulx, 1-888-658-1408.

I visited him a few years ago and bought a cutlass bearing. While we
were at it he adjusted and balanced by prop for me. It was amazing ot
watch him work. A real craftsman.

Drop me a line if you have any more questions.

I'd bet that's "Chambly" as in "Basin DeChambly" Also because N is next
to H on the keyboard :-)

I'm a long way from Lake Champlain right now, but I plan to dive in
about July 4th 2005...

Also, look up "OSCO" for low-cost decent exhaust manifolds...

You are correct. I did mean to say Chambly. I can spell, but I
obviously can't type GRIN.

Do a Google search on "Buck-Algonquin"
(yes like the tribe). They offer a wide variety of fittings and stuff like
rudders.
