Friends,

I'm trying to help a friend from the club "remodel" a 1970 bassboat, which once HAD a side-mounted, old school, stick-steering system.

IF anyone has a functioning/complete stick-steering system on an old boat, please advise soonest with price wanted.
(He is NOT interested in one of the "modern systems" made of plastic & pot-metal, as they aren't authentic to the period and don't hold up.)

yours, satx
