79 Predictor saved

Picked up 79 Predictor yesterday for $750 dont think Im out on it so here's the skinny on it. The Good, It's a checkmate, No structural rot that I've found (transom, floor and rear flotation blocks are solid), new fuel tank, it seems to have a working electrical system and all the steering linkages seems to be in good shape. The Bad, the engine was overheated (anyone know where I can get a good/cheap 140 evinrude powerhead) has some compression but need to pull a test on it and the water pump is out, tilt/trim need a new seal in the lower fluid resivior (but it works), interior is trashed/rotted and the paint is mostly gone but was able to buff it out some.

Nice! Thats great if theres no structural rot, I could have thrown on a hell of a nice motor for the money it cost me to fix all my rot.
 
Does anyone know where I can find a direct replacement for the swim ladder this one was cut off right below the top step.

Thanks
Joe
