My ranking came out as Bennington rated in my mind #1. Harris number #2 and Premier and Manitou rated three and four. If the local dealer would let go of the Optimax versus the Verado the Premier would in my mind jump to number 2. I heard from so many Premier owners wishing they went with the 4 stroke Verado vs the Optimax. There is a place for both. Optimax has higher performance but is a 2 stroke and noisy . The Verado is a extremely quite engine compared to all others. Nevertheless Winnisquam Marina is a quality run family organization.

I agree on the Optimax vs Verado concept as well (sorry Ryan). My recent one is Verado and I would have a tough time going back. My 250 Pro XS was loud. I have never owned nor driven a Bennington so I cannot compare. Canvas is a big deal for us being islanders, and I think that the canvas setup on the Premiers with the J-clips instead of snaps is a huge benefit.
I cant imagine getting any better (or comparable) service than I get from Winnisquam so it is hard for me to look elsewhere.
