Davison's Boat Yard was founded by Russell Davison in 1932 and has been servicing the needs of local boaters ever since. Operating on the site of his family's lumber mill, the business thrived in the midst of The Great Depression by providing a higher level of service. Being boating enthusiasts themselves, the Davison's crew knew what customers expected. The yard was equipped to handle any job on any boat and the carpentry and paintwork performed were second to none. This legacy of service would be the cornerstone on which the Davisons would build their successes throughout their history.
In 1955, a new generation of Davisons took the helm. Under its new management, Davison's Boat Yard became the distributor for Daytona Engines and Blue Bay oil products. In 1974 MerCruiser made Davison's it's Bluewater Inboard distributor. Several years later, a subsidiary, Metro Power Center, was created to focus on MerCruiser's newly penned Engine Power Center contract, which provided for distribution of MerCruiser Sterndrives as well as Inboard Engines. In 1992, the company was sold to a long time employee who continued to grow the relationship with Mercury. In 1999, in response to aftermarket manufacturers' pressure on their replacement parts business, Mercury awarded us the QuickParts Distribution contract.
