I remember when my brother was looking for a boat, we stopped by Melvin Village Marina. They were very helpful and very nice. We let them know that we were just looking around, at that point. Even though he wasn't going to purchase the boat at that time, they spent time with us going over all the options of buying used, new, different makes and models, and so on. They really took care of my brother as a potential customer. It turns out that he found another boat in another part of New Hampshire. However, I specifically remember Melvin Village Marina being very helpful and friendly.

On another note, we visited another marina that was exclusively a "Brand X" dealer. I remember them actually being condescending towards us and appearently were trying to make it perfectly clear that we were essentially not welcome and they would not spend any time with us. I actually couldn't believe what I was experiencing. The only words out of the salesman's mouth were "that boat costs over $50,000.00", when we stopped just to look at (i.e., receive some visible radiation emitted by this boat due to the stimulus of day light with our eyes...) one in the marina. I guess we didn't look like we had the $$$...

I wonder if they're still around...
