What began as the Jersey Shore's most complete hobby shop in 1961 still continues to grow and serve its customers with the same philosophy and dedication that was the cornerstone
of Tom Tweer, Senior's dream to own and operate his own business.
Around 1963 he had the opportunity to become a Mercury Outboard Dealer, as the local dealer was retiring, and being a Mercury owner, himself, he signed on. Next he took on the Winner Boat Line, which back then was a good quality product, and was their top dealer more than once for the next seven years.
In 1970 he decided to handle Grady-White, a little known boat company in our area and agreed to stock two leftover boats and give them a shot. Those two models were the infamous Chesapeake and Nassau and that was the beginning of a 40+ years relationship.

Many thanks to all of our customers who helped his dream come true and to those of you considering the purchase of a new boat or motor we invite you to visit our beautiful, centrally located marina and see why this 49 year old waterfront dealership, the oldest Grady-White dealer under continuous ownership, in the State of New Jersey, is the logical place to purchase your new Grady-White boat for use along the Jersey Shore.
We've always believed that sales will follow when you strive to improve customer service. Our beliefs have been rewarded with multiple presentations of the Grady-White's Admiral Circle's Award and the ultimate GOLD ANCHOR SERVICE AWARD.

Just as in 1970, we were excited to announce the addition of
Southport Boat Works to our quality line of products in 2004. After a 22 year relationship with managing partner, Frank Longino, former vice-president of marketing for Grady-White, we knew that this would be a top quality product for the "hard core" fisherman. For more information on
Southport just click on their icon at the top of our main page.
For the five consecutive year we were selected by Boating Industry Magazine as a top 100 dealer member in North America and as the #1 Southport and Grady-White dealer in the Mid-Atlantic States. This comes along with being selected as the Second Highest ranked Dealer in New Jersey.
