I thought I would start this thread about boat dealers who have gone out of their way to make sure your boat purchase and service is as pleasant an experience as possible. I just purchased a new 618T Ranger from Dano's Marine in South Dakota. I live in northern IL. These guys really went out of their way to make sure buying a boat is a great experience and something to really look forward to. I found out about Dano's by going on line and searching around for a new 2006 that had not left the showroom. Not only did I get a smoking deal on the boat, but Dano even had his son deliver it to Sothern WI for me to pick up. I would recommend them to anyone in the market for a new rig. They are honest as can be and really are knowlegable about the rigs they sell and service. Please feel free to add your positive experiences with buying your new family addition to this thread. I thought this would be chance to share some valuable consumer information to the musky community. Thanks Dano, Brandon and the gang at Dano's Marine!!!

Dano's is a top shelf dealership. They built their business on service, and have done very well.

I bought my Ranger from Frankie's.
I could not be happier with how I've been treated. They didn't grab the money and push me out the door. They made sure I was happy, even to this day they ask how the Ranger is treating me.

I'm VERY happy with them.

I bought my Ranger from Anglers Edge in Loves Park (Rockford) IL and can't say enough about how great of an experience it has been dealing with the guys at that dealership. Amazingly good service!!
