Doug,
I'm in NOLA (uptown - boat is at South Shore Harbor). Dunno if I have anything useful to offer other than advice. I did a full refurb on hull #748 (took me several years..!) - https://ensign748.weebly.com/
I have a fair bit of old/original hardware (pulleys, cleats, etc.) that I did not wish to re-use, but which are still (possibly?) in re-usable condition. If you're interested, drop me a line.
