The Boaters' Resale Shop of Texas

This is a great place to buy used broken shit at really high prices.

Nice store , friendly , well stocked with sailing needs

Beware selling with them. I presented several thousand dollars of used marine supplies for consignment. After 6 months you can pick it up or he takes ownership of it. Paul called me a year later and told me that I had a payment to pick up of about $200. I told him that I moved and couldn't return and asked if he could mail it. He said that he couldn't because it was like cash. For $200 I hardly had a good reason to make the trip back to Kemah. A few months later I called and paul said they could PayPal me the money if I sent them a request. So I did. Well, apparently they have no system of accounting because Paul doesn't remember what it is for or for how much. Instead, he sent me $60, a rather arbitrary dollar amount with no invoicing. Beware that you are dealing with high risk business that will offer you little to no return. If you know this then you'll have clear expectations.

Paul, Rob and Dave were awesome to work with. I needed 2 Lewmar opening ports and they hooked me up with great goods, fast shipping, and a fair price. I will use them again and highly recommend you do as well.

A *huge* inventory of used boating stuff, both inside and outside the building. Some is ready to use, some needs TLC, and some is just good for parts. Deck hardware, electronics, rope, rigging, sails, safety items, charts, pumps, folding bicycles - if you've ever needed something, they probably have it (or something you can adapt). There are only a handful of stores like this in the country and we're lucky to have one. The construction on hwy 146 makes it hard to get here so bring your patience.
