Old boat parts, Help!

The wife (Deb's Joy) has a 1968 Century Buccaneer with a Mercruiser 160 (the chevy straight six) engine. She has been overheating (both Deb and the boat) and we have traced the problem to a hopelessly corroded exahust manifold. Not an easy part to find. They stopped making that design in 1970.

The engine is a real honey and we would like to avoid a re-power.

Any one out there know of an old bone yard that might have one of those manifolds out back behind the barn?

Any help would be great.
