Balmar 90 series 75 amp alternator. I bought this alternator years ago and never got around to installing it in my boat. It is in like new condition, never installed, never used, still in original box. Asking $550 plus shipping.

Geri started counting, but there were so many she got tired and gave up.

It took a while to get a pic, but here are platforms #1, #2, and #4 all rafted up at Block this past weekend.
