Outboard Inventory

We landed a heck of a deal this past week. One of the local marinas was looking to liquidate some of their outboard inventory and gave us a call. We scoped it out, settled on a price, then realized it was a LOT of stuff! We took one trip with a pick up and enclosed trailer and didn't even make a dent. The next day we arrived with a 26 foot box truck with a lift gate. We did NOT mess around.

It took about an hour and a half to load the truck. Luckily, the marina owner had a tractor so we didn't have to carry the motors too far.

The loaded 26 footer was a sight to see. It ended up being a lot of out board motors. They were spread out at the marina, so you really could not grasp how many there were. Once we got them in the truck, it really started to become a reality.

It worked out to be 50 outboards of all makes...Suzuki, Johnson, Evinrude, and Mercury. There was a mess of miscellaneous parts too. We picked up sets of controls, lower units, 6 outdrives, 3 I/O motors, shrouds, and so much more.

Now it is time to SELL this inventory. If you or anyone you know needs outboard parts, we certainly may have what you are looking for.
