PWC Brokerage

Back about 15 years ago, I started to diversify from just a marine insurance agency and started selling small inflatables and a few used personal watercraft. Strange as it sounds, then no one was focusing on the pre owned PWC market and NJ had only one other inflatable dealer. Inflatables grew slowly but what took off like a rocket was the used PWC's. In our first two years, we sold 75 machines, all on a consigned brokerage manner. It was a great find for me. Unfortunately, we had lost our lease and moved to a larger facility but were prohibited on selling PWC there so we focused on the inflatable boats and grew that section into a very nice operation currently representing Achilles, Mercury, Walker Bay and now Zodiac.

With our new location, I decided to go back to one of my true passions, PWC's. I recently placed two ads and within two weeks, we got in 15 machines for consignment sale. Most came from existing or past customers who either insure, bought or sold them thru me. It was nice to see our clients happy we are back at one of our core businesses. It is my goal now to expand the operation to now include accesories and parts for all brands. Keep an eye on the web site for your next toy!
