Our first experience with Greg, Bruce, and Scott from Shogren Performance Marine.... we were blown away!!
Went down to test drive a 35 SL, but ended up with a 38 EC...
... a much better choice for our family, and my wife is finally excited about boating at least as much as I am.

Greg sold, delivered, and educated us on all the hi-tech stuff.
he also got our trade-in up to 93 mph (first time ever)

Bruce got us incredible financing and made the whole process an absolute piece of cake.

I have never met a more sincere and honest group of professionals.

Wish I could buy another Fountain from them next year, too!!

Hey David!
496 w/ B3's.... goes 62 mph out of the box, and uses significantly less petrol.

We have bought 2 Fountains from Shogren. Scott, Greg and Bruce make what sometimes can be a difficult and confusing process easy. How many times have you went to water test and sign papers and get so stressed out, its more like work. Then you think, wait this is supposed to be fun!!!! These guys make it fun. No suprises.

When I picked my new 2005 42 it had 1500. of beak damage that they never told us till we got there. Wasn't too big of a deal, took over a month to get the reimbursement settlement. Dealing with my wife was the big issue.

Then another surprise. Upgraded to a Myco 1 week later, we had to switch trailers at the launch. Greg pulled our new boat onto the new trailer and did another 500. beak damage, and never told Scott. We were there.

So there have been issues.

I don't think I'll do business with him again. After selling my boat to him, he had me over the coals and stuck me with a 1600. bill due to 1 CMI header leaking.

Sometimes you just don't forget things.

I have bought two fountains from them. first was a 1996 47 Lightning. The second was a 2001 47 Lightning. Both were great experiences! I would buy from them again.
