As far as I can tell, it does not seem that Four Winns is, as of yet, booked for the show.

All of the normal marinas that usually represent FW at the show are not on the exhibitors list ... and I don't see FW on the floor plan. They do list FW as a manufacturer in the list of manufacturers, but not in the list of exhibitors (nor the typical FW dealers).

We're not in the market for a boat change, at this time, anyway. However, I'll likely go just to be surrounded by boats for a day. Peek into the dream boats, etc.

I will be going to the Dallas show this month too...same reasons...I just want to be around a bunch of boats for a day to help me get my holdover fix till spring gets here and I can get out on our boat.

I know of a dealer that is in conversations with Four Winns to represent at the New England Boat show. :D

I would think Four Winns will get their stuff together for that boat show. That's the one that kicks off around Feb 14 in Boston, right?

It's my guess that you will see EITHER Melvin Village or Winnisquam Marine.

The whole "partnering" for boat shows just doesn't make sense to me. Who gets credit when a boat is sold? Does it depend on the sales person? If so - the commissioned sales guy could/would probably be way more aggressive than the hourly guy.

I don't think having both is a great idea.

We'll see what happens.

The Boston show has always had 2 dealers for allot of boat lines. I know Four Winns has had it for years. I will agree that they have never had 2 from the same geographical area. I can tell you both of their web sites mention that they are going to the show. I am planning to go. So I will tell you what I see.

Boston area offers great boating on both fresh water (NH& Maine Lakes) and Ocean. 3M Marine is typically strong on Cruisers since they are located near the coast and Melvin Village & Winnisquam are strong on sport boats since they are located on lakes. Having these dealer with deferent expertise in one place is not a bad idea for the Four Winns point of view but the question is how will they stay cool each other?......
The most people seem typically check boats out on shows and visit dealer after….

Winnisquammarine will not be representing FW at this show. Premier Pontoon boats is what they'll be showing :cry:

Unless something changes, Winnisquam will not be a part of the Four Winns display at the NE boat show. They are rolling in with Premier Pontoons (the cobalt of pontoon boats).
