| A Brief History | |||||||
| 1978 |
Brothers and current owners David and John Moulton founded Riverfront Marine in 1978. Originally the shop was located on the Merrimac River, in their grandfather's garage. In this little garage is where David and John joined forces to build one of the North Shores largest and longest running boat dealerships, beginning with selling and repairing Mercury Outboards. David went to school to perfect his service skills and John went to Bentley College and earned a bachelors degree in accounting. So with David steadily repairing the motors and John steadily at the books, Riverfront was on its way. | ||||||
| 1982 |
As time grew on and
the business flourished, it became obvious that the garage would
no longer be able to provide enough room for the brothers and their
Mercurys. After careful consideration and much discussion David
and John's parents (Ray & Kay Moulton, owners of Plum Islands
Surfland Bait and Tackle) purchased a piece of land in Salisbury
with the intentions of renting the land to David and John for their
growing business. And so the shop took on its new location in Salisbury.
MA. There the brothers had a house that provided a big garage and
show room as well as plenty of yard space, in turn enough room to
expand and take on boats as well. |
||||||
| 1985 |
After several years, the brothers decided
that Riverfront was progressively growing and needed a larger facility.
With all of the yard space already at the Salisbury location, the
next step was clear, "the big blue building" right off of
interstate 95 and route 110, what you see now. By this time their
sister Cathy Moulton had joined the family team adding to the customer
relation and sales department. Riverfront Marine Sports' Showroom in Salisbury, MA |
