Help on Finding Parts for Nautaline 1970 Houseboat - V-drive
Hi,
I want to see if anyone in this group might be able to provide me some insight into the direction I need to go to repair or replace a gearbox on a v-drive for my family's 1970 Nautaline houseboat. We haven't been able to determine who the manufacturer of the unit is. The gearbox is seriously cracked. The boat has two inboard 318 Chrysler engines. We are hoping to find a replacement housing, new or used, or at the least determine who or what source to go to to find replacement parts. We had encountered a loose tug rope while going down the Mississipi last year, and it became entangled in both of our props. We've had all kinds of trouble since. Any help, suggestions, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. TIA, John -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |

Help on Finding Parts for Nautaline 1970 Houseboat - V-drive
It's Kentucky Lake. We had a houseboat a couple of years ago at the
Town & Country Marina on Johnathon Creek, near Benton, KY. We lost it to a fire at the marina. Our boat was two slips from the boat that caught fire and exploded, catching surrounding boats on fire. We lost everything, we only had liability insurance, and no other parties had insurance. (Lucky us!) We purchased this 1970 Nautaline from a party in Lake City, Minn, and we started down the Mississippi last year to take it down to Kentucky lake. We caught a tug rope near Clinton, IA, and we've had trouble since. Right now, we're at Two Rivers Marina, across from Louisana, MO, having the boat repaired again. Maybe I should take up flying instead of boating?

I've never been to Rend nor Lake Shelbyville. East Fork gets crowded, so when I go, I usually go over to Carlyle. I;d love to hit Lake Decatur sometime, but that's quite a distance in itself. But Carlyle is abotu 60 mi. from me and that's a big body of water and you don't have any congestive traffic. I hope to be out there on July 4 for the fire works. Heck of a display right at the West Access Marina. |
