Just found out that Lodders Marine in Cincinnati is no longer carrying Four Winns--they have switched to Monterey. A dealer in Dayton picked up Four Winns. I think that leaves both Cincinnati and Lexington, KY without a Four Winns dealer. That means you have to go to Dayton, Louisville, or Knoxville. Unbelievable. Four Winns is absolutely killing themselves by destorying their dealer network. What a shame.

A boat dealer (local to where we keep our 328 Four Winns) who has been in business for 60 years (Maple City Marine in Chatham, Ontario, Canada) just became a Four Winns Dealer.

Have not had a need to use Maple City yet for any Four Winns parts or service, but nice to know they are local and hopefully would be useful as a Four Winns dealer.

I believe if you do some searching Maple City was a FW dealer back in the day so I am told. Also Don Hyde Marine is not stocking any of the cruiser line. They have been Monty for the last 5 years and slowly not carrying FW. They still have bowriders but they did not represent FW at the Toronto show

You could very well be correct with that Mike, not sure of the extent of the various boat brands that Maple City carried over 60 years. I can't recall Maple City carrying Four Winns anytime in the last ten years or so and was pleased to hear last season of their Four Winns Dealer Status.

Maple City for a number of years now has been a big mover of Rinker boats.

Maple City as you probably noticed was with Boat Warehouse in showing the Four Winns Boats at Toronto Boat Show.

Not sure if this has been covered, but Athron Marine in Coldwater, Ontario near Georgian Bay was purchased by the Boat Warehouse so they do have two locations, Kingston and near Georgian Bay. This happened a few years ago, and they have started carrying larger FW cruisers which is nice. Also, it's a handy dealer for getting FW, Mercruiser or Volvo Penta maintenance items, as they maintain good stock of typically needed items.
