Jim,
What's the Crusader for? You may end up having to buy a complete boat to get one! The only CC that used them back the is the Separator (or equal). What parts do you need or is the whole unit needed? |

Hi Pete-I need the whole unit for my separator I'm restoring-they were manufactured for Crusader by the Thermo Electron Corp.I've found out they were also standard in Gibson Houseboats.I know Jeff (connorsons) has a couple,but I think he is keeping them for spares.Gotta keep it original Pete !!!

Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise.

I had one that came out of a 66 Century Bronco.When my stepson was cleaning/organizing the basement for me one of his pillhead buddies saw all that vintage aluminum boat parts I was saving.I spent days hitting all the scrapyards to find my parts with no luck.That was part of a complete Ford FE V Drive setup.Very scarce good luck.

Also more robust and complete units and parts are still being made and available. they also come at a 12 degree down angle. I know I would have no problem going to one of these in an older restoration. |
