I could write a book about these folks!! I was looking for a trailer and ended up with a boat. The price was too good to pass up! The boat had been sitting for a year and had a few issues but they went above and beyond to make sure it ran properly. The part I like the most is that they take you and the boat out on the water so you can see and feel how it runs. I even got some newbie lessons on the water in the process .
I purchased a new Suzuki 115 and couldn’t be happier with the buying experience. I had gotten multiple quotes from other dealers and all of them said that they’re 6 months to a year out on a motor. Philadelphia boat supply estimated 3-6 weeks and got the motor in less than 3 weeks. The instal was fast and very professional and it’s obvious that there is a great group of guys working there. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a new motor or service.
A little over a year ago I was looking for a small outboard motor for a small boat. I was looking on Amazon and found one brand new 6.5hp for about $900. Philadelphia Boat Supply had a used... later model but better brand 9.9hp for $1200. I was really worried by it being such a late model.... being used, I needed something I could count on. It was a hard choice....It came down to " THE LOCAL GUYS...... or...... AMAZON " I took the chance with "Philadelphia Boat Supply".... spent the extra money and got the used outboard motor. When I went to the store to ask about the motor, I was told that it was a good motor, they seviced it and it was good to go. I wanted to wait a year to give a true review. and I must say... taking the chance with "Philadelphia Boat Supply" was one of the best decisions i've made in Years. I Love the Motor So much. It was very well taken care of and im so thankful to have it. I've had such a wonderful experience with those guys. One day I ran into a couple guys from the store at the dock this spring and they remembered me, and that was cool. Anything Boating...... im going to Philadelphia Boat Supply First.

I'm a new boater & since I came in this place they all have been very helpful & nice with me and very knowledgeable staff. God Bless Them all and their shop also.
We were getting ready to use the boat for a holiday weekend and had a problem with the prop. Even though they were closed, the owner came out and helped us fix our issue and gave us a used part for free as well as great advice for other issues. The owner is an all-around great guy. Thanks for saving out holiday weekend!
I needed a part and Al spent 30-40 minutes on the phone trying to figure out what I needed to repair my Mercury outboard motor. He not only spent the time to help me find what I needed but shared that he thought I would get a better price online. He’s honest and looking for your trust and to have you as a long term customer. I was really impressed by him. Thank you Al. I am sure that I’ll be in the store for something soon.
This place is absolutely the best. I'm from Annapolis, MD where there are a ton of marine supply shops, but PBS is on the top of my list for boating supplies. Great inventory of in-stock parts, and those not in stock are quickly available. There's also an area in store where you can find that odd used part for your boat. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, accommodating and respectful. Top notch all the way around.
these guys are the best. they're friendly helpful and full of knowledge. if they don't have it they'll get it or tell you where to get it. the parts counter guys are just the best in the area, hands down. i'm used to cringing and holding on to my wallet when i go to get marine parts but these guys are well in line with online pricing. there's been only one time they couldn't fill and order for a hard to find, back logged discontinued part but still managed to tell me how to get it.
They were very helpful had some of the parts I needed for my Honda outboard but ordered parts they didn't have. They came in a couple days. Very good service. Differently will be using them again.
