What boat dealer do you use?

I was wondering who everybody’s local dealer is or who do you use for parts, accessories, or service?

Larson in Rancho Cordova (outside Sacramento). I get excellent service from those guys. The mechanic actually called me to verify that I was happy after I picked up my boat/trailer. I've never had that kind of service before.

Sales guys are cool, like to chat about the stuff they sell, and don't mind if you are just poking around and drooling a bit on the new toys.

Oh, and they sell MB sports

Active Water Sports in Portland, OR. They have the biggest and probably only Pro Shop in store and online, but also have Supra, Moomba, Malibu, Axis and Nautique. One stop shopping right there!

I used to use the local Moomba/Supra dealer (I have a moomba) but just started with the Malibu dealer (Skiers Pier, Waterford, MI) and will continue to go there; bar none great service.

DIY x2 and private mechanic for anything that is out of my experience range or that requires expensive special tools.Dealer rates too high for me.Plus I enjoy tinkering with my boat much like people with custom/classic cars.

Well we all know that dealers rely on us to support their business, so I wanted to thank all of you that continue to do so.. All of the dealers that have been listed have some great people and support to keep us on the water.. So lets all keep showing our support and get this industry back to where it needs to be..

Texas Tige in Conroe, by far treated me the best of all the dealerships in the greater Houston area.

Well said! when I think about all the times they have bailed me out and saved my weekend I can't thank them enough. they have always gone above and beyond to service my needs and their customers. I suppose that is what makes great dealers great dealers!

I can also say I have heard of some bad dealers and am very thankful that is not all I have to work with, it could drive those of us that can't work on our own boats to sell them.
