Post by: fishnutz on January 14, 2010, 09:42:09 AM

I know I saw this on one of the forums but can't find now....
Who was the company that bought most/all of the AS inventory when they closed??
Thanks in advance, Rob

Just looking for some odds and ends, they sure do look like they should have it, going to call Monday
Have a Great Day all!

The place that was the closest to Genmar in Bradenton was Marine Surplus - not sure if they bought all the surplus from Aquasport but it's a place to start.  They have a Ft Myers and a Bradenton branch.

I called this group and they stated they had, in the past purchased unused stuff from the Wellcraft/Aquasport plant but had not done so in years.
They are just down the street from the old facility. :(

I was just in Ft Pierce at the warehouse store there and the had many products from Aquasport.  Actually they had just about everything you can think of for a boat, both new and used.

Keep in mind, guys, when AS was discontinued (I won't say shut down...), the parts inventory specific to AS was very new stuff.  Builders change hatch suppliers, nav light suppliers, etc, all the time.  The older stuff, say vintage '00 back to whenever, is probably long gone.  They might have some newer stuff, but, afterall, it has been basically 5 years since production was halted.

It's not like they went out of business yesterday and the stuff is all still there... :?
