    Angry Center City Marine closing???????


    Heard some second hand information today and is a good source, that center city marine was closing. The information i got was that they already came and picked up all the boats. Anybody heard anything about this. I hope not because that is where i get the slab hunters that stink my garage up at.

    I had not heard anything about this but did notice a week or so ago when I was in there that they had moved all the boats except for one out of the showroom. And the one that was sitting on the showroom floor had a cover strapped down on it. I hope they are not leaving.

    The last tome I talked to the owner he said they were sending the Champion,s & Ranger,s back. He wasnt sure about the Skeeter or G3 boats yet. They we,re going to do service work & sell used boats. I have a friend that works there part time I will try to get more info & let you Know.

    Like JJ said they are getting out of the new boat business but will continue in service and parts. Not sure what their plans are with tackle. The owner is a good guy, best of luck to him.

    Hope they stay around it's been a good place to get help and parts for older motors and boats.

    Talked to a good friend of mine today and he said they are getting out of new boat business - can't get financing to new buyers.

    They will continue to do service work, sell used boats on consignment, they will continue to sell tackle and increase the boat accessory line.

    They still have Skeeter and G3 lines right now.
