Looking to replace all of my blocks on my Mac 21

Not looking for a handout but I am looking for a deal.

If nobody bites, try Garhauer. As close to free as you can get compared to all the rest.

Next time you're in so. cal. take a stroll through Minney's Yacht Surplus in Costa Mesa. Although most of their stuff is big boat salvage.. they will have lots of overstock Seaway hardware which was oem on many 70's era boats.

I got mine from Lowes parking lot. I asked the kid in the lot if the blocks used to stack the trailers were for the taking. He said help yourself. So I did. I used it to make a mast float for the Hobie 16 so it would not turtle. Shaped it into a Viagra pill and painted it light blue. For those moments when you need a little help getting it up.

Oops, because it was a Mac 22 I assumed he meant Styrofoam blocks.
Yeah, Minney"s is definitely the place to go. People fly is from all over the country for their events.
The other possibility is to just replace the sheaves.

Hmmm, They are riveted in. Not sure how to go about that.

I drilled the rivets out and replaced with screws that have an appropriate shank. I then used lock nuts. A friend was able to find barrel nuts/screw for a cleaner look I may do that later but they look fine as they are. I'll take pictures tomorrow.
