Moriches Boat and Motor

Conrad and Judy Kreuter own Moriches Boat and Motor. It is located on Atlantic Avenue in East Moriches. In 1989 the Kreuters purchased Moriches Boat and Motor from Robert Wood. The business had been in existence since 1963.

The Kreuters sell boats and motors. They also winterize and store boats.  It is harder to make money now than it was when the Kreuters first started in the business. Their biggest competition comes from other types of recreation, such as golf and tennis. The Kreuters sell Suzuki, Honda, Yamaha, and Evinrude motors. The most popular product sold at Moriches Boat and Motor is the Suzuki outboard motor. Evinrude motors were the most popular sellers when they started. The price to purchase a boat ranges from $20,000-$130,000.

Moriches Boat and Motor is open 6 days a week from 8am-4: 30pm. They are open on most holidays because they can do more business when other people are off. However, they are closed for Christmas, New Years and Thanksgiving.

The Kreuters encourage their customers to keep the waters clean. Mr. Kreuter was the District Manager for Intel and installed Intel into the computers on Wall Street before going into the marine business. He is currently the President of Empire State Marine Trades Association.
