I like it but does anyone have experience with this group? low quality? same warehouse pull as others? same stuff every one else has? prices look good on some things. brands are hit and miss. Anyone buy here?

I'm aware of Overtons, but don't see anything there related to Trojan?

think Jeff is just looking for input for boat part suppliers in general..not just Trojan brand name parts....

Jeff most suppliers sell the same parts, some charge more for some things than others for different things...shop for the part you want and compare the $ than want for it and look for reviews on them, I've never ordered from these guys but know some guys that have cuddy's and a pontoon that have and they're pleased with them.

I see Overton's as a boating accessories outlet. Small boating, runabouts, ski boats, etc...

I have been receiving their catalogs for years but found them of no use to me. Their prices aren't great and they don't have anything along the type of boating I do or my boating needs. And, they certainly aren't Trojan Yacht related or specific.

i've ordered from them before and have been pleased with the products. most everything is available somewhere else. and they are not the best in pricing,(i search multiple places for everything always looking for the best price) the times i have purchased from them they did have the best price on the product and had free shipping. they collect sales tax on tennessee purchases so they are one of the last places i look for stuff. i will research stuff to death cause i always think can do better. it drives me crazy but i cant help it.

+1 what Jamie said about O'tons being kinda a clearinghouse/sale place. Not necessarily the number one 'go to' place, but often selling quality stuff at a discount through sales and direct mailing flyers, etc.

+1 Defender

Also don't forget Fisheries Supply.

Cool I'm adding all these places to my library. I just hate hours of research to save 3$ then more hours typing in my card number and making list. Feel like I'm building motorcycles again. I need stuff like hatch doors, fuel caps. Yada yada. They have large tubes off of 5200-4200 for 15-20$ that is a lot cheaper than west marine. I like defender, I have ordered a couple times already. Thanks again guys

Ok. What do you need for the boat?

I need some Weber DGV mains, some Bosch CIS injectors, a Bosch S6(x..) series starter, and some Mercedes 200d injectors.

Wanna make a trade?
