Where to find NLA Boat Parts

If you own an older boat motor you may find it challenging to get replacement parts for necessary repairs.  Most boat dealers do not have the time or the warehouse space to stock slower moving, older outboard or sterndrive parts.  To make matters worse, manufacturers only produce replacement parts for a period of time and then announce that the parts are NLA- no longer available from them. This leaves boat owners in  a pickle when in need of parts to get back out on the water.  Often times, older motors will be sent to the junk yard because of the lack of available replacement parts.
We have a solution for you! US Boatworks took on the inventory challenges to make NLA parts available for everyone.  We expanded our warehouse space significantly to serve those in need of boat parts.  Our owner personally spends over 2000 hours each year scouring the country for hard to find parts.  Once he finds the parts and pays to have them shipped to our shop, our team then reviews each piece to insure quality and suitability.  Next we log them into inventory, assign a bin location and get them on the warehouse shelf. 
There is a significant time and money investment to get theses NLA parts to our customers.  Our NLA parts will sometimes be more costly than the price when it was new.  This increase in price is due to the time and money investment made to bring them in and store them over the years.  Additionally, we often times pay over retail for parts when they are in high demand and low supply.  Just like you learned in economics 101.
If you are need of hard to find boat parts, please check our easy to use on-line parts store. If we don't have what you are looking for on-line, be sure to call or email us.  If you order with us, we usually ship your part out the same day via FedEx ground.

It's a big deal, this boat

It's a big deal, this boat

I came across this boating
commercial yesterday.  I guess it has been around a while but with Tivo, I
don't see a lot of commercials.  This one sums it up for us boaters. 
The lady exclaims, 'Its a big deal, this boat".  She doesn't understand
what all the fuss is about.  WE understand what all the fuss is about.  
It's quality family fun, its your hobby, your passion. You want your boat
running the ENTIRE season so you can enjoy those warm days on the water.  
Trust your passion to a boat shop that has that same passion, for boating, US
Boatworks.  We work hard to get you back on the water as quickly as
possible.  We also keep over 1 million boat parts in stock so you don't
have to wait for us to order the part your boat needs.  If you have an
older boat, we have those hard to find,
obsolete, NLA boat parts
in stock. 
Call us at 913-342-0011 or send us an email and let us know how we can help you. 
We ship our parts all over the US.

Here is the commercial.

Gear up your boat before Memorial Day

Tips to gear up your boat engine for Memorial Day:

Getting your boat ready to take out for the Memorial Day weekend can be a
chore.  If you are a do-it-yourselfer, plan on spending some time getting
your boat and motor ready before you hit the lake.  A little time spent in
advance can make all the difference.  Preventative maintenance now could
keep you out on the water all summer long. 

In the early spring, I devoted several blogs to how to get your boat up and
running for the first time this season.  Since this is topic is so
important, it bears repeating.  If you are mechanically inclined, most of
these tasks should be no problem.  If you are not comfortable with tools
and getting your hands dirty, one of our trained mechanics would be happy to do
this for you.  Contact Tim or Ron at 913-342-0011 or just bring your
boat down for service in the Kansas City area. 
We are open from 9-5 M-F, CST and Saturdays 9-noon. 

US Boatworks stocks all mechanical parts for your boat motor and most
accessories you may need.  You will find that our prices are some of the
lowest in town, lower than the "big guys" in this area.   We recommend
that you only use original manufacturer oil and parts in your boat, not to get
more money out of you, but because the quality OEM parts will last.  They
won't leave you stranded on the lake.

If you have an older boat motor with hard to find boat parts, we also can
help.  US Boatworks stocks thousands of
hard to find, no longer available, obsolete
boat parts.  Email us your needs at
parts@boatengine.com or call
913-342-0011.
