How come there's no UK dealers indicated on the FW website anymore ? I suppose we're a small country.

Actually, a very good question given the progression towards a more European styling (or did FW abandon that styling already?).

Do it yourself.


You are such a blowhard. The Four Winns site is not current. Go to the individual boat web sites I listed. It clearly says they are dealers and service centers for Four Winns boats. There are even members on this board that bought Four Winns boats from two of the dealers I mentioned, and neither was from Legendary Marine.

Also my stat's for the sales figures are direct from NMMA and Builder sales reports that only are available to marine industry personnel, like me. Your stat's came from where ?


Normally I don't get into this bickering but this is just dumb. So, I live in Orlando and I go to the Four Winns website to see where my nearest dealer is NOW...since Mt. Dora and Liquid Sports are no longer FW dealers...and the FW site says my nearest dealer is Destin...and then I'm supposed to just randomly view boat dealer sites around the state reading the fine print to see if they're authorized service centers? Seriously? Maybe if you're a Marine Industry insider then you'd know which sites to check...but for us uninformed it's a waste of time. FW needs to get their $#^t together make the CORRECT information available because in my opinion they've basically abandon central Florida.

I actually still do a lot of business with Mt. Dora - and they're great - so I knew that they could still get FW parts for me. But if I hadn't dealt with them when they were FW I would have no way of knowing that.
