I HAVE BEEN ON HE PHONE WITH THEM A FEW TIMES BUT NEVER BOUGH ANYTHING NOR VISITED THEIR PLACE IT WOULD TAKE A FEW HOURS TO GET THERE FOR ME, PLUS I HAVE ALL THE SUPPLIERS FOR STUFF HERE IN BROWARD ANYWAY. THEY SEEM THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF INVENTORY WOULD LOVE TO FIND A NEW GRAB RAIL THAT GOES AROUND THE FRONT OF MY 23 CC THOUGH I MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO GO UP THERE IF THEY HAD THAT NEW RAIL CHEEP.

I have been there and have bought gas tanks, seats, cushions, and a bunch of misc stuff.
Prices are ok, but I don't know if it would be worth the travel and shipping from the NE???

Hey Doug-

I was down at Marine Connection Liquidators last month with some of teh classicseacraft.com crew. Marine Connection is like a Costco warehouse filled to the ceilings with boating gear.

We made the trip into a mini fishing/boat gear buying bonanza and also timed it so that we could attend the annual Dania Marine Flea Market (more good stuff but some junk too...)

Marine Connnection is kinda of an overwhelming place so be sure to give yourself at least 3-4 hours to look through everything. They have a lot of stuff and since alot of it isn't marked, you need to ask for a price.

However, with that said....most of the stuff they stock (overuns from boat builders like MAKO, Boston Whaler, etc.) cannot be found in the northeast and if you could find it up here you would certainly pay a lot more.

I could go on and on with a list of stuff they carry but I would run out of space. Make a list of the stuff you need and give them a call to see if they have what you're looking for. If you plan on flying down and taking some smaller stuff back with you on the plane...use a carry on bag for your clothes and then you can check two boxes of stuff (up to about 70lbs each). If you're driving down....take a HUGE TRUCK and/or trailer and LOTS OF MONEY! The place is pretty cool.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.

I used to live and fish charter boats in Ft. Pierce and know the place well. Among countless other things for my 1978 18', I have bought a T top and leaning post from them and love them.

As a couple of others have stated this place is for real and absolutely huge. A truly great resource for everyone.

I live about 1 hour from them..went to check them out for parts for my 1978 aquasport...I was suprized at the inventory but shocked by the prices way too high...i wont make the trip again..Take it for what its worth just trying to save you a trip.
