dlr Green Horn Registered: 06/26/08 Posts: 11 Loc: Texas	Anyone have any recommendations for a boat dealer in the DFW area? My wife and I are in the market for a boat and need some advice on what and where to get one. We want a center console in the 20-24 ft range. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Mike Andrews Extreme Angler Registered: 04/12/05 Posts: 1294 Loc: Red Oak	I'm currently talking to Joe Ham at Advantage Marine in Sachse. So far I'm impressed with his honesty and business ethic. Not a done deal yet but getting close..... Advantage Marine 6702 Highway 78 Sachse TX, 75048 (972) 495-5343 _________________________ aka TxBuddha

If it were me, I'd probably go to www.boattrader.com and look outside the Dallas/Ft. Worth area...You can save thousands of dollars by shopping outside the area...You might have to go 250 miles away, but a lot of times it saves you big time... Good Luck and let us know what you find!!! _________________________ I'd like to thank every person who is serving, or has served, in the United States Armed Forces.

dabuckmaster24 Outdoorsman Registered: 03/20/08 Posts: 24 Loc: Mineola, texas	Do you want, new or used? Aluminum or fiberglass? I have a dealer that is probably cheaper than the rest. Nobody could come within $1500 of what his price was. www.sartinmarine.com You will probably get the best price with him. He is maybe an hour from dallas.

Oldfrog TFF Guru Registered: 02/16/06 Posts: 13038 Loc: LA and TX	Look at Mako or Kenner. Good buys for the money. ( same boat) Tracker owns them now, but there are other dealers...other than Bass Pro Shops. _________________________ No, it wasnt me. You didnt actually SEE me, did you ? You are merely speculating. Besides, I was busy being banned from the PETA site that night....and proud of it. ( they didnt like my wild game recipes)

Ken A. Pro Angler Registered: 10/02/06 Posts: 790 Loc: Colleyville, TX	Don't know Advantage Marine but I do know Tommy Yetts at Rockwall. He is a great guy to deal with and will take care of you after the sale. Tommy is a stand-up guy! Edited by Ken A. (07/05/08 05:14 AM)
