LiI W 1 P8 (416) 831-1243 BROOKLIN CYCLE MARINE Eg an adds boats to busine ss When Rob Egan decided that his Brooklin Cycle store in downtown Whitby would expand into boat sales, he and bis staff did some shopping of their own - for what they consider to be the best of various boat models. "We spent six rnonths resear- ching the quality of the product we're going to carry," says Egan, who added 10,000 sq. ft. to bis downtown Whitby location - although really not enough space- for the expanded business. "We don't reaily have the room, so we picked the cream of the cream," says Egan of the business now named Brooklin Cycle Marine. What impressed hie and bis staff', and consequently, what hie will seli, are Sun Runner fibregiass cruisers (manufactured in Spokane, Wash.) which he describes as "our big line" and "a good investment" for the buyer; Edson runabouts (manufactured in Manitoba) of up to 16 feet; Lund aluminum boats ( aiso nianufactured in Manitoba), which Egan says is one of only two makes of such a boat type that is Coast Guard-approved for both commercial use and as lifeboats; Procraft bass boats (manufactured in Tennessee); and Mariner boat engines. It was an easy decision to retaIl bass boats as "Tournament fishing is just absoluteiy taking off around here," says Egan. He says Brooklin Cycle 'had been doing manine servicing in recent years, with slips in Whitby harbor for repairs as weli as providing repair service in Oshawa-and Pickering., And when supplies of Honda motorèy4p" and four-wheel ail-terrain vehicles dwindled, '"We decided this was the year to get into it (boats)." Egan says he's se far only been able to obtain 66 new motorycles. He aise seld 140 four-wheel ail-terrain vehicles last year but bas se far only been able to obtain 24 for retail this year. 0f bis new building addition, 5,000 sq. ft. will be used for storage, 3,000 sq. ft. for service and 2,000 sq. ft. for showroom. He aIse bas a 5,000-sq. ft. warehouse in Oshawa for storage. He will close the Brooklin Cycle location at'the Oshawa Centre at the end of May, noting "It's real drain to keep people over there." He- says the Whitby store expansion also makes the Oshawa location unnecessary. 0f boat sales se far, .he says, 'We've had a real good response," adding that participation in various exhibitions bas- been a huge boost. "We taik to literally thousands of people at these shows," says Egan. Its amazing." I The grand opening d~ the newly expanded store will tàke place May 12, 13 and 14. The '88 Mariner hue-up Three new outboards headline the Mariner 1988 product line-upý IHlghlighted by a new four-cylinder, 100-hp, the models aise include a 2.4-litre, 150-hp tournament basa engine and an 8-hp fishing motor. The' four-cylinder, 100-hp foilows Mariner's successful 75 and 90-hp model introduction a year eariier. Mariner's new Magnum Hl tournament bass engine deveiops its 150-horsepower from a larger 2.4 litre (142 cubic inch) block. Combined with a iower 1.78 to 1 gear ratio, the Magnum IIl!eaps out of the hole, for a two-second advantage from zero to 30 mph, and is also five mph faster at the top end. At the lower horsepower levéeI,t Mariner bas a new 8-hp outboard. The new two-cylinder, 12-3/4 cubic inch engine is based on the bighly successful 9.9-hp model introduced last year. With the new outboard models, Mariner has întroduced a new remote control box. The versatile Quicksilver Commander 2000 series unit will be standard for ail remote control electric start models, from 20-hp to the electronic fuel injected 220-hp model. It's reversible for port or starboard installation, can be stacked for twin engine application and has a finger-adjustable- throttle friction knob. to 115-hp lightw eight tanks. feature standard polyethylene fuel mmDonet sendan, W~ S.OSzo .MOS 0461-1 Staport 6060 TwIn Deplhsounder/ Fishinder Ollers an analog flasher for flshlng and LCD for accurate depth on two scales; 0-60' and 0-360'.
