Suncoast Marine Center
Suncoast Marine Center has had a long history in the Tampa Bay boating community. Here is a timeline of the business:
1969
The company was founded as Seminole Marine in 1969 by three buddies with a knack for business and a boating addiction. They started as a Johnson Outboard Dealer and soon became one of the nation’s largest dealerships.
1984
In 1984 the company changed the name to Suncoast Marine Center. They became an Evinrude Dealer and became renowned for great engine prices and honest, fast service.
Suncoast Marine Center was eventually bought by Bob & Kendra Burke, the current owners today.
2003
Major growth and expansion with a renewed approach to business and boating.
They quickly outgrew the original site, so they moved the company not once but twice. Their first move was in 2003 with continued success.
2009
They moved a second time into their current location at Belcher Road, Largo, Florida. They continued to experience growth and development of the business.
2012
The Burkes bought the property and building and added Yamaha Outboards onto their product sales and began remodeling their facility.
