boat junk yards ?

[hooked on Grady]

Does anyone know of any places in new jersey where you can go to look for salvage parts for boats, a boat junk yard? Where do all the boats go after the storms we've had? is there any business numbers that I can call to look for parts. thanks all.

Something tells me real estate in New Jersey isn’t cheap enough for boat junkyards. You should find some within driving distance though. I know there are a few in MA. Probably CT/RI as well. I’d imagine somewhere near Maryland too but don’t know for sure.

Is there a boat junk yard in New England?

Just wondering if there's someplace to go look for used hatches and whatnot. I have a 18' duck boat with a cheap plastic BOMAR hatch thats junk and its like $120 for a new one.

There is one in Quincy Ma, Ma Marine Parts. They carry all brands of salvaged parts for power and sail.

That question is often pondered and never revealed...
Theres a million boats in NJ rotting in yards and marinas and when someone finally capitulates it gets crushed into a dumpster.
I have been lucky on occasion to do some dumpster diving at a marina.

There are places online (located in FL) for such things. Sailorman comes to mind.

There is a shop in Long Island that has salvaged parts...seats....rod holders etc. Hit or miss though.

They are not an online store though....I would call them.

Thanks all. Doesn't it seem like there is money out there to be made? With all the restoring going on it would be nice to be sitting on piles of parts now. A repairable bow pulpit and matching rail would be my dream pieces as anchor storage is a bit of a pain in the rear.

Don's Salvage has a lot, but they seemed to get away from a lot of the fiberglass parts. They do have some hatches and pulpits that you can sift through. They have a ton of metal work. I was just there looking for a small console for my little boat, but they didn't have much in that area.
