2006 42' Fountain Poker Run
Thumbs up Shogren Performance Marine

I would like to share my experience with Shogren Marine.

Last month I decided that I was ready to upgrade my boat and move into a Fountain. I started looking around and talking with numerous dealerships on a trade. NO ONE would even talk to me about a trade. I was told by a fellow customer of Shogren that they would not trade with me either but I thought what the hell I'll send them and email and see what happens. Not even 30 min later I had a response from Scott saying they would consider a trade if it made sense for both parties. I couldnt believe how fast he got back with me and was somewhat willing to at least talk to me about trading up.
Long story short we got the deal done in record time and i couldnt be happier.

I work in a industry where you can buy products from numerous sources much like this boating industry. What sets us apart is our service. This is what sets Shogren apart from any other marine dealership out there. From the front door to the back door their operation is first class. Scott and Greg really know how to treat their customers and I couldnt be happier.

Shogren put me in a great boat and they stand behind everything!! I will highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new or used boat.

Thanks again Scott and Greg!!

We here this all the time about Shogren but It's funny we do not here this all the time about a lot of others....Shogren is the real deal! A first class business! Congratulations on the new ride. I keep looking at a couple boats Scott has but a growing family will probably keep me with what I have this year.

It's unfortunate the rest of the industry doesn't run this well...Congrats on your boat and kudo's to Shogren.

07 38 Fountain
We have bought 2 Fountains from Shogren's, they are the dealership that other marine dealers are judged by. Scott, Greg, and Bruce work very hard to keep the good reputation they have. Other than David Woods group at Pier 57, have never delt with any dealership that was even close.

I too bought from Shogrens and even though the deal was not perfect with some motor issues on a used boat, Scott, and Greg did a great job working with me. It was nice to see so much personal attention given to me from an owner of a business, and on a 10 year old boat.

Thanks Guys everything is working well now.
