ThunderLund78 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 This may be a stupid question, but is there such a thing as a boat salvage yard or any place that would sell used boat accessories in the southern metro? I know there's a few places that deal pretty much exclusively in used outboards and parts but I'm looking for accessories. I'd like to put a pedestal seat in my 14' Lund that's been home-customized. And if it's possible not to pay $60-$80 bucks for the assembly that would be ideal. It's an older boat and I don't need to buy new, plus, times are tough!

setterguy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Ask Valv, he may be able to help you out if he is still in that business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine_man Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 You should be able to get what you need from Fleet Farm, etc and not have to go through a dealer when it comes to pedestals, bases and seats.marine_man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I would agree with you Rob. I redid the inside of a boat and purchased mant parts for seating at FF. They had alot of options on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodmaker Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Another option, check Cabela's bargain cave in Owatonna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodmaker Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I know some of the things there are not that great of a deal. But some are, and it depends on the time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderLund78 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 That's really generous Gregg52! I appreciate it but you're right, I don't get up that way very often (unfortunately). I'll check out Fleet Farm. I was looking at Gander before and it seemed like more than I'd like to spend on my old fishing boat. I also checked out some on-line auctions and Craig's list. Not a whole lot, but that stuff changes by the minute. I appreciate eveyone's suggestions. Open water's only about a month or two away (Down here in So. MN anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodmaker Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Did you call Cabela's in Owatonna and ask for the bargain cave. Never hurts to make a phone call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparmarv Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 try the auction sites I have bought and sold some boat parts and accessories on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderLund78 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Gregg52,My e-mail's in a previous post. When you get down this way, let me know. I can meet you in Shakopee--it's only 15 min away for me. And I can make it worth your while, I'm not looking for handouts. I just didn't want to buy new if I didn't have to. The base is the cheap part but if you're looking to get rid of a functional cylinder for a pedestal, I'd be happy to meet with you on it if you're in the area. Again, I appreciate it.PH78 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMS Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 For a day trip, there is a boat salvage yard off of HWY 70 not too far west of Siren Wisconsin. Boats galor that are old age, etc. I don't know if it is like a junk-yard or not, but someday I'd sure like to stop in and look around...Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
