Head bolts

I am trying to order a new head gasket for my 1986 force 125. I can find a gasket no problem but I am having a hard time finding new head bolts for it. I would really prefer to replace the bolts with the gasket as I have always been taught that is the right way to do things. Any suggestions as to where I can get them would be appreciated. And yes I have tried my local marina already.
 
Run a tap into the threads in the block.---Run a die on the bolts.----Re-use the bolts.----Done all the time.----If you insist on new bolts then stainless from local bolt supply does the trick.----Say---FASTENALL---Or similar.---There is nothing special about these bolts.----If it was a high demand item your local marina would have them.
 
If you really want to change(not necessary) then
get the wallet ready.
This doesn't include washers.

Can be bought at boatsdotnet.

But like Racerone suggested: use the old if they are in
good shape??
My last rebuild I had to buy 3 new for a 98 120
They were 2$ compared to the 10$ for the 1986
The torque is only 18# and the bolt don't strech at that
poundage.
