I think they could be the shortest FW dealer ever.

It was boat show season last year that SportBoat northwest met with FW corporate and took on the line. They had Crownline which had obviously been out of business.

A year later (and some not so good decisions) -- they are liquidating everythng - including the office furniture (not that there is much).

They appear to have 2-3 Crownline runabouts... 2 Tige's... and a 2010 278 (pre-newbadging) and a 2009 v288.

We'll see if they sel them... no service work being taken on, no ordering parts, nothing.

anyone want a 278 for 69k... or a 288 for 89k... PM me and I'll get you in touch with the right folks.


anyone interesting in investing in a new FW dealership here in Seattle? I'm seriously thinking about starting one. :D

If I had the time and money I would buy the v288 in a second. If boat dealerships are like airlines, then
I guess you spend billions to make millions.

I know for fact they don't. They don't have much of anything in stock.

Please tell me SOMEBODY wants a new 278...

They dropped the price down to 65,800. It's a 120k+ sticker price for a 2009 price sheet. And, this is a 2010 model.

Holy smokes

Didn't you have a friend who was looking for a 278? Stinks it has no gen, but AMAZING price! Nice color too.

My friend bought a new 270 SunDancer over the 278. He wanted the FW at 75k, but they kept screwing him around.

+1 on Cougars comments on SBNW.

Cougar:

Count me in on the FW dealership! There literally is nothing left except for a couple of boats Cougar mentioned and office furniture...Dania stuff I think.

Sad, to see another one go under... :-(

Cougar is this boat still available? Craigslist add not working anymore. Sent link to a friend looking for a cruiser. Would be a steal! They have an offer in on a 2007 maxum 3500SY right now, but havn't heard back so they are still shopping.

AFAIK it's still available.

http://www.sportboatnorthwest.com has their details.

I'm not sure they are regularly open, but I am sure they are answering voicemails...

Paris is the sales person... I think it's 'Melinda' is the owner. I would just talk to the owner.
