Earl's Earl Stilson, 30134 South River Road HARRISON TOWNSHIP, MI He was in the next building east of West Marine on South River Road as of August 6 of 2007. If you call: the West Marine store at 586-465-5401 on 30060 S River Rd Harrison Township, MI 48045-1878 they can probably tell you if he's still in business and direct you further. Good luck.
I purchased an original exhaust manifold, brand new for a ford 144 in-line 6 1960's engine from Earl's marine part sales near Metro Beach. He's still there as of last September, and if he doesn't have the part you need...chances are nobody has it...an amazing collection of engine parts!
Earl Stilson store Earl is still very much in business and the South River Road shop is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9:00-4:30 and Saturday mornings. Phone number is 586 468-0937. Most of his older parts are at another location close by but there is no store there. Call him or leave a message with Annette at the store and he will get back to you.
Earl's My post above about scrapping the 37 Roamer - this is the same Earl, but a place where they strip boats for parts - S.E. corner of Joy Road and Walnut - no sign that I remember, but always some junk boats sitting there is various stages of disassembly.
