Funny you said that! During the waterski racing days, I would scrounge around for used QuickSilver parts for rebuild! Found a gem down in Chelmsford, Middlesex Marine. When I told them about the races, they came up and were formidable contenders. They were the best days on the lake!

You mentioned a machine shop in Woburn. The Gallante boys?
