Also, little weird bits and pieces like rollers or bushing or handles can probably be recreated at a local machine shop. Struts, bronze bushings, rudders can be cast new from measurements taken from broken pieces. For something like a Marine Trader, I'd imagine everything outside of machinery was hand made or cast on the spot for that particular boat. . .I've seen original bronze cleats with rough file marks on mold parting lines
