Looking for Outboard junk yard???

I know there is someone in the kingston area that has a boat/engine junk yard? Anyone know the guys number or address?

Im looking to convert a 20hp merc short into a long shaft. Hoping I can locate a used lower unit. I know there is a kit to do the same thing. However this might be cheaper?

thanks
