Latest Update is really Late!!

To run an effective blog, one should update often.

I find this task to be more than I bargained for, with the current workload and constant change (all for the better so far!).

In lieu of a full update, I have just written and distributed my company's first newsletter. It is available for any one to peruse online here: http://www.scalisemarine.com/newsletter.htm.

Feel free to use the information for the discount!

The Remnants page is still coming! The materials have been categorized but not researched or priced yet. Stay tuned.

Things have been extremely hectic here at Scalise Marine. Order rates are doubling monthly, which is a good thing (make that a GREAT thing)! Between filling orders, we have been picking up new product lines.

Scalise Marine has acquired distributorships for Swobbit Systems, Fasnap Fasteners, Paiho Hook & Loop, Plasti-Dip and is in the process of setting up Mer-maid Products. Before adding these products to the webpage, we personally test the products to ensure we are bringing good products to you, not just some fly-by-night or a product that doesn't live up to their claims.

The Mer-maid brand came highly recommended from our yacht captains on the west coast (California). From what I have tested thus far, the Inflatable Boat Cleaner and Serious Soap, these products have exceeded my expectations! Many companies have submitted vinyl cleaners and I tested them against Mer-maid's Inflatable Boat Cleaner on a weather-worn vinyl seat. The Mer-maid cleaner blew away the competition!! Now I have received their actual Vinyl Cleaner, I cannot wait to try it out but am assuming that I will be pleased with the results also. Watch for their full product line to be added shortly.

Fasnap fasteners are a direct competitor to Dot fasteners and we like what we have seen from them too. All this is in the works and much more.

Scalise Marine is dedicated to bringing the best products to our customers, not just what everyone else is carrying. Even so, if you are sold on a particular product line, we have access to just about anything marine. Send an email and we will research prices and availability for you.

Web page update

As I continue to tweak and add on to the Scalise Marine site, we came up with a great idea. All around the shop we have left-over rolls of material, remnants, one of a kind items and spare hardware. Rather than store these materials forever, there may be someone out there looking for just a few yards of a certain material or certain color...why not put them on the web?

Coming soon, Scalise Marine Specials and Remnants page!! Canvas, fine European materials (left overs from some of the finest mega-yachts in the world, used sewing machines (industrial), quilted fabrics, ready to be made into bedding, pleated vinyls and much much more!!

We were the world's first retailer of the IMAR Yacht Detailing Line which includes the ONLY products recommended by Strataglass Ltd. for the care and maintenance of their clear vinyl products, Strataglass and Crystal Clear 20/20. Specifically the IMAR Strataglass Protective Cleaner and IMAR Strataglass Protective Polish. Everyone is learning that these products must be used on their Strataglass vinyl but few are able to find them. Look no further! If you would like to see IMAR on the shelves locally, ask your marine store, ship's store or marina store for IMAR by name. They can contact us directly for information on wholesale pricing (Scalise Marine is also the first distributor of IMAR).

Details coming soon.
