We buy old boat parts and salvage marine inventory

Many marine dealers sell off their older boat part inventory at the end of
the season.  Often times dealers will be going out of business or just need
some cash in the winter months, this is a great time for us to buy.  US
Boatworks buys surplus inventory from marine and boat dealers throughout the
year. 

We are always looking for used
lower unit
cores from Mercury, Evinrude, Johnson, Mercruiser, OMC and Volvo. 

Salvage marine gearcases are
something we almost will always purchase from a dealer.  Last year we were
able to buy about 50 lower unit cores from a dealer.  This was great timing
as during the winter months we rebuild the gearcases so they are ready for sale
in the spring when our customers need them.  US Boatworks is a major
supplier of
remanufactured lower units and

new marine gearcases.  We
constantly are turning our inventory so new items are always needed.

If you are looking to liquidate some or all of your marine inventory, we may
be able to help.   Contact Mike at US Boatworks at 913-342-0011 if you have further questions.  You can also
email us at parts@boatengine.com

Happy boating.

25 Year Anniversary

2009 is US Boatworks' 25 year anniversary.  Back in 1984, Marty started
US Boatworks from his garage.  His idea was to improve on the service boat
dealers offer. 

First, boat dealers do not offer the option for using used parts in their
repairs.  US Boatworks specializes in
used, salvage boat parts
for your marine needs.  The parts are inspected to insure they are in good
shape.  They also always come from fresh water engines, so there is no
worry about salt water corrosion.  We sell and ship these parts all over
the country so feel free to ask about purchasing used parts for your boat motor.

Secondly, boat dealers have a minimal inventory of boat parts on hand. 
What this means for you is two fold.  One, you wait for the dealer to order
your parts to fix your motor which can add days or even weeks to your repair
turn around.  And two, manufacturers stop making parts for their engines
after a certain number of years.  If that is the case, you are out of luck
getting that part from your dealer.  US Boatworks has over

25,000 different boat engine parts in stock
that means faster turn around time on your repair.  It also means you can
ask about almost any Evinrude, Johnson, Mercury, Mercruiser, Volvo-Penta marine
part and odds are that we have it in stock for you.

Third, boat dealers had huge overhead so offering

Kansas City area discount boat repair
service is just not possible.  US Boatworks is able to offer
labor rates discounted from what most area boat dealers offer because our
overhead is low.

Marty's dream to be a major retailer of boat parts and service has become
reality.  Hard to imagine 25 years ago what a great concept he had. 
We miss you Marty!

Contact Mike or Tim at US Boatworks at 913-342-0011 if you have further questions
about parts or service on your outboard or stern drive marine engine.  You can also
email us at parts@boatengine.com

Happy boating.

Marine Winterization and Boat Parts

Winterization under way

Our lot is full to the brim with

Kansas City area
boats to winterize.  Many boaters decided to get their boats in for service
early this year due to the cold weather in Kansas and Missouri.   
Our customers choose US Boatworks for our great rates and outstanding
reputation.   Each winterization is personally performed by one
mechanic from beginning to end.  Rest assured that your motor will be
properly winterized and safe from the upcoming freeze.

Another reason our
customers choose US Boatworks is because we offer

boat parts that are hard to
find.  Parts for older boats that are not longer made are stocked by the
thousands.  We get people from all over the United States looking for
marine parts.  Most of our

old boat parts are
NLA - No Longer Available
marine parts
from the manufacturer.  Once a manufacturer stops producing parts that fit
your boat, it can be very difficult or impossible to fix your motor. 

The major brand boat parts we carry are

Mercury Marine, Mercruiser, OMC Cobra,
Johnson, Evinrude and Mariner.  Our lower unit replacement
program offers you two choices.  Choose a new lower unit or a
remanufactured lower unit by visiting our site.

For more information on any of
these products or service send us an email at
parts@boatengine.com or call us M-F
9-5 CST at 913-342-0011.  TIm, Ron or Mike are happy to help you with your
boat repair or maintenance needs.

Happy boating.

Boat parts from Mercury, Mercruiser, Evinrude and more

Boat Parts by the thousands

At last count we stock 25,000 different

boat parts and since we have
multiples of many parts, our total count is in the hundreds of thousands. 
In the last 18 months our inventory of new parts has increased 25%.  The
majority of these parts are your hard to find, no longer available, NLA, boat
parts.  We also have a huge inventory of used or salvage boat parts which
are offered at a discount over new prices.  If you have an older outboard
motor or even an older sterndrive motor and are in need of parts, US Boatworks
is the place to call, 913-342-0011.  You can check out our website at

Marine Engine Parts

More Marine Parts coming soon...

We at US Boatworks carry tens of thousands of different
boat parts.  Most
of our inventory consists of older boat parts from Mercury, Evinrude, OMC,
Mercruiser, Johnson, Force and Volvo-Penta as well as current model marine parts
from these manufacturers.   If you are having a hard time finding the
boat engine part you need, chances are that US Boatworks has it.  We have
room in our 50,000 square foot building to store these parts.  A lot of
boat dealers don't have the space or the desire to stock older boat parts. 
That's where US Boatworks,
www.BoatEngine.com, comes in.  We buy these older parts and stock them
to serve our customers and meet a need for them to be able to repair older boat
motors.  One way we are able to stock these

old boat parts is through
salvage.  We often times part out a old motor and thus sell them as
used boat parts. 
Many customers appreciate the opportunity to buy
salvage boat parts as it
usually saves the customer money to buy

used marine parts over buying new
marine parts.  Since we are continually buying parts, our inventory changes
quickly from day to day.  If we don't have a part this week, we may just
stock it a few weeks later.   

 

To check our inventory, contact Tim or Mike at US Boatworks at 913-342-0011
or
email us at parts@boatengine.com. We
welcome the opportunity to help you in your boat parts search.

Happy boating.
