Practically Everything
eBay: You can find almost anything on eBay, especially hardware items and motors. There seem always to be foot throttles; plenty of steering wheels; gearshifts; bow eyes and handles; control cables; propellers; seats; deck plates; instruments; trailers; aluminum for jack plates and steering arms.... Outboard motors sell briskly on eBay, as well as parts. Start searching for stuff as soon as, or before, you begin building your boat. And keep going back. Some of the suppliers listed on this page, like West Marine and Harbor Freight, also have eBay stores.
