About Marine Surplus
In 1983 Fred and Debora Wagner put together their resources to open Marine Surplus. Providing the Bradenton and Sarasota area with much needed high quality, reasonably priced boating goods obtained through local boat builders. In the years since Marine Surplus’ creation, buildings have been added, suppliers have changed and expanded, and the family grew.
Austin Wagner, General Manager
Austin Wagner has been working at Marine Surplus since 2001. Under the guidance of his parents he’s learned the in’s and out’s of running the business. He continues his father’s passion for guaranteeing the best quality marine equipment that he oversees as the Purchasing Manager for Marine Surplus. His hard work and integrity are being passed on to his three children who are sometimes seen at his side as he shows them the ropes.
While rarely seen wearing anything other than black he’s easy to pick out among the staff, and is the most eager to assist with difficult problems. He takes to challenges like a goldfish to water, with only slightly more cursing.
Nichole Wagner, Webstore Manager
Fred and Debbie’s daughter stepped in to take control of the webstore in 2017. Since then she’s been the backbone of our online community. If you’ve ever had any questions regarding the store you’ve probably already spoken with her. Most regulars of our storefront will also recognize her smiling face as she has helped up front over the years as well. It’s not uncommon to see her around lunch time when she emerges from the website headquarters to replenish for the day.
Tim Wagner, Building 2 Manager
In 1987 Tim joined his brother Fred and has been a staple in building 2 ever since. Our easy going cheerful bigfoot is your go to source for starboard, vinyl, and seating information. Tim has a breadth of knowledge greater than his height. Find him in building 2 towards the front of the building either working on a project or relaxing in the cross breeze where he’ll be waiting with a good joke and a smile.
Chris Barr, Building 1 Manager
Chris has been an honorary part of the Marine Surplus family since 1997 only taking a small break to test drier states before returning to the homeland. A Dr. Frankenstein of boat parts he’s known for helping customers put together fascinatingly functional pieces when the exact parts aren’t present, and offering solutions to hard problems. If he’s not helping someone, he’s usually in the back table tinkering with something or telling the worst pun you’ve heard that day, and we’re grateful to hear it.
