Good to see you back,Windrider. I've been looking forward to your re-power results.
Seems me CSU-LB could sell me the old motor - no? let me know if they auction it off...
Rex Marine is in San Dimas I think they carry Taco Marine/Taco Metals Products. They are at
www.rexmar.com
Also
www.tacomarine.com and
www.rubrails.com
While you're at it you'll probably want to re-adhere the gunwale cap to the hull and re-rivet. Your be amazed how it will stiffen the boat and keep water out...
Might check the brass scuppers out too as they are often the source of water ingress and a quick and very inexpensive fix...
Good luck and keep us posted. Happy New Year!
