05 288 sunsation,,, EXCELLENT factory support,, but the dealer left a lot to be desired, had it not been for the service at Sunsation, I would have told the dealer to stick the boat where the sun don't shine, they turned what was supposed to be an exciting experience into a miserable one..

Bought my used 35 Sonic from Craig Barrie and Martin marine. Craig was hands down they best person i've ever dealt with. He put up with all my emails about the boat before i flew down to see it.....i saved them all and just counted them....57 emails.
I would recommend Him and the crew at Martin to anyone.

I bought a used DCB from the factory. Dave and Bryan at DCB were OUTSTANDING to deal with. I had some minor issues on the sea trial, and they took care of EVERY problem!!
Bryan was on the phone with Dave at one point while at the sandbar in Havasu, and Dave told him "Whatever it takes to take care of everything and make John 110% satisfied is what we will do!"
They took care of everything and sent me a pile of goodies for free! They even wanted to pay for some things I wanted to change. I didn't think that was right, as they were minor and cosmetic, so I wouldn't let them.
I would buy another boat from them tomorrow.
