I bought a new Four Winns from Melvin Village Marina a few years back with no regrets. Great people to deal with, especially Tom in the sales office and Rob in the maintenance shop. They really came through when my boat broke away from its mooring in heavy winds. It wound up on some rocks - no structural damage but badly chipped, scratched and gouged. I was crushed. When I called Tom he said "I have some good news, some bad news and some more good news. Good news: we can fix it like new. Bad news: it is very expensive. More good news: your insurance company will pay for most of it (after deductable)."

He was right on all counts. Rob took the extra step to shoot 20+ digital pictures of the damage for the insurance claim. Since the work did not need to be done right away I held off until the end of the season and took advantage of the nice discount they offer on off-season labor charges. The savings covered storage and winterization.
