Trojan Boat Forum

Does anyone know of a good boat salvage yard in Delaware? I'll be in the Dover, DE area but anywhere in Delaware would be fine. Dover is in the middle of the state and it's a small state so anywhere in Delaware is fairly close.

What type of stuff are you looking for? Don't know of a real "salvage" yard around Dover. There's a lot of misc stuff sitting around Lewes but it will kind of be hit or miss. I do know Jackson Marine in north east MD (not too far from DE) used to have a lot of old part, both new stuff and consignment stuff. I got a new set of "10 meter" emblems from them a few years back.
I'm in Hockessin DE, about 45min from Dover.

I'm specifically looking for a Paragon 6A (water cooled) V drive casing. Old Trojans, Silvertons, and Chris Crafts used them as well as many other boats. Ideally I'll find a derelict boat with a V drive that doesn't work (seized gears, etc.) which will lower the price. I'm only interested in the casing but will need to purchase the entire V drive.

Since I'm using my spare to fix my current V drive, I want to find another spare before I need it. These things are as common as unicorns, so it may take me a while to find one. Hopefully I won't actually need it for a long, long time, but I definitely would feel more comfortable having a spare in the garage.

If you know of any marinas that are parting out an old Trojan, Silverton, or Chris Craft, let me know. Maybe I'll get lucky. Thanks.
