Yes, you will be able to purchase online. We have not figured out which one to go with yet. I want to use whatever is best for both parties to keep the cost of this service as low as possible.

I agree people like to see images of what they are buying and info of if it’s in stock or not. I personally don’t feel it’s necessary to have a complete ordering system online. I feel that could be done by email just fine. I would do everything I could to keep prices down. I also feel shipping of the products in a fast manner is a must. Most people on here remember ordering from Tidewater and getting the stuff the next day,he always used Ups I’m not saying that’s a must but prompt shipping is. Jeff Lutz

Yup, Art ran Tidewater as a business, not a hobby sideline… yes, he ran boats too, but tidewater was the McDonald’s of the boating world back then… you could always know what to expect when you dealt with them.
Didn’t have to be in any clique to get what you needed or wanted to buy… something that is sorely missed in todays hobby…

We're using Shopify and it's working great. Reach out if you have questions.

Carl for shipping I use Pirate ship. They are a 3 rd party company that contracts with usps & ups. For either shipper they'll pick it up at your house when you schedule a pickup so you don't have to take it anywhere. For usps small box it's about $2.00 less that taking to the post office. But ups will charge you a pickup fee for under a certain number of boxes. Check it out, if any questions just reach out to me.
