    Earl the Pearl is clearly a Gem. A humble, knowledgeable, funny and generous human being. As a Boomer your video story with Earl made my day. Thank you for the effort, and thank you Earl for sharing your life and business with us.

    That is amazing. There are very few treasures like that left. Developed by human hard work and run by sharp human minds and decades of experience. I hope whoever buys it will keep the character of it.

    Wow ! What a generous man. Earl has made some money and then given it to others , what a nice man. Also think about how much time was involved in scraping all those boats- and then inventorying it! I know because I have scraped a few my self. Great life. I hope some one will take it over some day that is up to the challenge and legacy.

    Hi Joe, I'm fascinated to see Earll the Pearl's shop. Wish I knew about him during the build. I would have traveled to his place to buy all I needed in one place. Looks like a lovely man.

      Welcome Aboard Silvester! Be sure to subscribe. I feel your pain. I find myself searching antique shops when traveling abroad, but it is difficult unless your close to the water. Go where the commercial fishermen are, but even then it can be challenging to find what you need.

      @@motorcityboatwerks Hey, thanks for your answer. Yes, I live near Switzerland and there are more mountains than sea. Old Mercruiser parts are particularly difficult to find here. Transom bolts and screws for MC/MR-1 no chance to find.
      Your trawler is really very beautiful. I have an old Birchwood 25ft

    Want to thank you for this video. I'm in the northern Virginia area, have a 1989 Chapparal. Carling rocker switch went bad for cabin lights, spent many days and phone calls trying to find a 4 prong Carling switch to replace the existing. Matching the style wasn't extremely important but wanted to come close. Contacted Chaparral and they informed me they used Carling switches but didn't know where I could locate a replacement. Contacted local Carling rep in PA., he gave me the switch serial # and some leads on suppliers. All suppliers were out of stock except one, they had 72, but required I purchase a minimum of 10 switches. A couple suppliers had them on back order with possible delivery in September/October. Happened on your video so thought I'd give them a try, called, Annette answered the phone, told her what I need, she said they had a lot of rocker switches and could I send her some pictures. Couple hours later she sends me a picture, exact switch. Gave my CC info, she dropped it in the mail and I had it a couple days later! Great place and I'm going to spread their name around

    I'd be interested in how he scraps boats. You get some nice hardware and parts, but then he's stuck with a hull that needs to be chopped up and discarded. He didn't do all that by himself, did he? Not easy.

    • @motorcityboatwerks
      @motorcityboatwerks  ปีที่แล้ว

      You grind up the hull and send it the be landfill 😉

    I used to go to Minnie's Chandlery in Newport Beach CA when I lived out there, so much stuff. Now I transport boats outta NC, and we have tons of used stuff I sell, but only at 50% or less. It's a tough racket.
