About TNT

In early 1984 Mike Thomas and John Tomlinson started TNT (get it… Thomas and Tomlinson) Custom Rigging now Custom Marine. Since the early days where both would spend what might have seemed like 24 hours a day working, transporting and rigging boats has now turned into a premier Marine Center. On the outside, it looks like any South Florida storage barn and service marina. On the inside, Thomas and Tomlinson run a world renown business. TNT, a Mercury’s Presidents Club Member since 2000 and the largest out-of-the-box outboard sales arm in the country, TNT has built an International brand. The TNT family, a very large family business, has turned simple rigging jobs into an industry leader in rigging, service and racing talent.

If you added up all that experience and know-how, from the time checks started rolling in to pay rent, you would have over 175,000 hours split between Thomas and Tomlinson. There is no company where majority partners have spent more hours… in, around, on, working on, repairing, testing and racing High Performance Boats in the United States. That is what makes TNT one of the most respected companies around and that’s what makes Thomas and Tomlinson two of the most respected experts in the marine industry.

While Thomas has built his name in business and managing one of South Florida’s premier service centers, Tomlinson has built an international name for throttling offshore race boats. Knowing that T and T work very well together and apart.. their unique experience compliments the family business.

With over 100 wins and 45 titles, Tomlinson is hired by the elite teams around the world to set up and win the world’s fastest boats. Having competed and won all around the world, Tomlinson’s success has helped TNT extend their brand abroad.

With Thomas’s success and Tomlinson’s fame the two have built a world famous business.Year after year TNT has built and rigged winning boats clients and for Tomlinson, while earning the respect from their peers.
