Would you take just 20 seconds to answer a few questions in reply to this
post?

1) why did you buy a boat?

I love being on the water - fishing, cruising, sailing, water skiing,
whatever - it's just better being on the water - any water, salt or fresh.

2) what helped you decide that you wanted a boat?

I missed it. I've been landlocked for 20 years. Too long.

3) why did you buy from the dealer that you bought it from?

I bought a couple of cars from a dealership owned by the same folks.

4) did you have a good buying experience with your dealer?

Yes.

5) what was the best thing about your buying experience with your dealer?

The brand new 200 hp Mercury DFI engine died after 3 weeks. Bombardier
wanted the dealer to fix it, the dealer insisted they replace it. Dealer
won.

6) what was the worst thing about your buying experience with your dealer?

They don't know very much about boats.
