Thumbs up Shep Browns

I am on my 3rd Boston Whaler purchased (each one gently used) from Shep Browns . We had a 13' Sport for a few years that my boys drove until they were older. It had a 25hp Merc and ran great. My latest is a 22' Dauntless with a 225hp Merc. Its is the best boat I ever owned and the folks at Shep Browns have always been first rate . The service department is very thorough and knowledgeable. I needed a trailer for two of my boats and I purchased them through Sheps rather than going direct to a trailer company. I was very pleased that I did as the trailers were adjusted perfectly for each one of the boats. I have no knowledge of the 15' Montauk but you cant go wrong with a Whaler and Shep Browns is a great place to deal with.

I second the vote of confidence for Shep Brown's as well. I have been a customer of Shep's 22 years. Great people to work with. Very fair. I've purchased two boats from them and they've been servicing by Four Winns since '96.

Absolutely agree. Chris and Steve in service are absolutely fantastic.

Default Triumph??

Gee, I don't know...after looking at these http://www.triumphboats.com/tough-tests/#prettyPhoto and thinking about my wife's docking abilities, I may have found a perfect match.

I particularly like the Bubba Test and the Dry Stack test.

Anyone know anything about these boats?

Dan

I've seen those videos before, they're very entertaining.
You should buy 6 or 7 of those and then rent them by the hour as a bumper-boats attraction. You'd make a killing.

Triumph Boats

Fay's has had one as a rental for quite a while. Ask them about it and get a look at the rental to see how it has held up.

This thread has me intrigued.

So for the sake of investigating the differences between the two Whaler choices I have traveled to FL. Marine Max Clearwater has both in stock and all shined up.

The Montauk is the clear winner.

In other news...

It was about 83* and sunny all day!

Sorry.
