I have used Classic Boat Connection for almost all of the supplies that I needed beginning back in 2004 for the complete restoration of a 1955 Chris Craft Continental, 18′ boat Purchased in Buffalo, NY. I have found that the prices and service are excellent and that they have everything I needed. I would recommend to anyone that they use Classic Boat connection for their repair and restoration needs.
How about temporary or even permenant docks ?
