I first learned about Max Marine Electronics when Max himself served with me on an awards judging panel at the National Marine Electronics Association’s annual meeting a few years ago. Since hearing about his operations, I’ve been planning to visit the facility and see how they refurbish and sell used marine electronics. It took a while, but I recently made my way to Pompano Beach and spent the day with Max at his eponymous company.
Before we dive into the company, note that Max and I share the last name Stein. Stein isn’t a particularly rare name so it’s certainly not the first time I’ve come across another Stein. But, Max is also my brother’s name. At least in my life, another Max Stein is a rarity and required more clearly tagging their contact info to avoid the confusion I experienced on multiple occasions.
