Captain's Choice hardware

[elwopo]

Anyone heard of this company or know if they have a website?

Stopped by a small local marine place today. Been avoiding them since they are so very small...figured only the big guys would have what I was looking for....WRONG!

An amazing amount of cool and hard to find replacement parts. Most everything I was looking for was there. All by "captain's choice". Simple yellow card with the part shrink wrapped to it. Nothing more. The guy at the store didn't even know where the stuff came from, only that "It's been here a while...."

I'd like to find out if they have a site or catalog because the owner of the small place is on vacation for two weeks....so there's no asking him.....

I have heard of a boat dealer that is named Captains Choice on Lake of the Ozarks but never heard of a line of products with the name.

Might be a wholesaler only. Maybe iboats can help? Since they carry that brand of cleaning supplies.

Or wait for the owner to return.

I have heard of them and have a sponge or three made by them. One of the best artificial sponges I have owned and they are priced right. Bass Pro Shops carries some of their stuff too (soory iBoats). Don't know anything about them.

I'm not far from Melbourne, can you say where they are located?

I need a few extra stainless fasteners for my bimini and non of the shops I've been to has what I need.

Thanks.

Re: Captain's Choice hardware

Yep, Banana River Marine is a good place w/good people. The last boat I had was a mercrusier and I had them do about $5k of work to it. Sold that one and got another which isn't quite the maintenance pig the old one was. I also missed the Harbor Town Flea market the first week in April, which is where I usually find what I need at the booth with the "stainless" guy.
