Folks this year the fantastic Dania Flea Market will be March 6 -9th , in the Dolphin Stadium outside Miami FL. This is a fanatastic sale , with stuff (sometimes ) from local builders and dealers. In the past I have bought a huge AC & DC new electrical panel for $100, with about 150 ft of wire attached. 1/10 price. Got 7 Balmar ports for $100 , new takeouts , fix a latch and save! Other deals abound , but lots is quite used , so old clothes and dirty hands are a requirement. Friends have got Obendorfer waste pumps , for $75 , list at $1100, or Galley Maid Macerators , again under $50.Might be a 32V unit and YOU need the gumption to hang your voltage motor , so ONLY for the advenyurous. The Windlass folks are frequently there at 30% of "list". You MUST use cash , and KNOW in advance the "worth" of what you are ;looking at, bring a Defender Industry catalog , not a Worst Marine , to have a reasonable Idea of the new price of what your dickering for. YES,, it is a Marine Flea Market , but IF you can "think out of the box" it is THE PLACE for a creative Bus Nut. FF | ||

Took Fred's advice a few years back. Jerry, Jack and I went there and came home with some great finds. | ||

The dania flea market also puts close to the sunrise flea market where You can have a cultural experience and find a pile of cool things. I found enough marine stainless at the dania flea to rebuild My willard motorsailor. Also lots of detroit parts. Go there if You love to look at other peoples treasures. My .02. John | ||

IF you go a shopping cart , or folding wheel barrel is a good idea. Some goodies are heavy , and the site , and parking lot are huge! FF |
