Kliff,
what parts do you need to purchase for the steering?
Decals can be had by contacting Janis @ Magic Brush. She is one of the site sponsors.

Hi Kamie-
I was looking for wire rope steering cable.
I couldn't find it online.
Then I did a search for "tiller cable" and found it at Boatdesigns.com
Thx

PS Evenstar looks great.

Most marine supply stores sell wire rope steering cable. Very inexpensive. If you need new pulleys try this race boat hardware site. Pricey but the best and safest, but admittedly overkill for a Whaler.

I don`t know if original type pulleys are even available anymore.
