| 1112.1 | Crownline | DWOMV2::KINNEY | | Mon Sep 27 1993 13:21 | 4 |
| From what i have heard..Crownline is a joint venture between
Wellcraft and Bayliner to fill the niche of a modestly priced
modestly equipped boat.The only model i have seen on the water
looked like a 20'...looked ok.

| 1112.2 | looked good to me! | DPDMAI::GINN | mike ginn | Mon Oct 04 1993 11:50 | 11 |
| I heard that Crownline was being built in the old Mark Twain plant in
Illinois by the previous owner of Celebrity. I looked seriously at
their line of boats this past spring. My local dealer only carried the
runabouts, and I was interested in the 25' cuddy cabin. The runabouts
looked great to me, so I ventured to the Miami boat show last February
to see the 25' cuddy. For the $$$ I wasn't impressed with the cuddy,
but I still think the runabouts are a quality boat for a great price.
I ended up buying a 1984 28' Carver Mariner... great boat.

| 1112.3 | Im interested too. | DPDMAI::STAIGER | | Mon Oct 04 1993 14:32 | 8 |
| I have also recently looked at CrownLine. The dealer in Dallas said
its a family owned operation that has been in the boat business for
years. They sold out there previous boat company to a much larger
corporation. This particular dealer is one of the most successful in
the southwest so they can carry just about any brand they want. It
does look like a high quality boat. I would be interested in any
additional information you learn in your search. It appears to be
a very good boat for the price.

Crownline, like Mariah, is a spinoff of Celebrity boats. One of the
boat rags, I believe it was trailer boats, did a writeup on one of their
models. The writeup was very positive.

We bought the boat! We pass final papers on the boat this weekend.
Hopefully we'll be able to take it out for a quick cruise before
the snow flies!
After leaving Trexlers last weekend, we stopped over at Thurstons
Marina on Paugus Bay. Seems Trexlers has lost their CrownLine
Line to Thurstons. They had all new 94's in stock. After speaking
with the salesmen there, we got the scoop on Trexlers being dropped
by CrownLine. Seems they weren't promoting the line enough and
the visibility was not meeting CrownLines sales.
The salesmen could not say enough good things about the CrownLine
boats. It made us feel like we had made the right decision to go
with it. I felt pretty good considering we paid 8K less for the 93,
than the 94 model that Thurstons had in their showroom.

| 1112.6 | Who does the warranty work? | SALEM::NORCROSS_W | | Thu Oct 07 1993 15:21 | 3 |
| Who is going to honor the warranty, Trexler's or Thurston's? Make sure
that there is no confusion on that before you complete the sale.

Thurstons have already told us to see them for all our warranty
work. It's funny, Trexlers never told us that Thurstons was the
new dealer on the lake. Probably because they were afraid we would
take our business there. I plan on mentioning it to the salesmen
after we pass the paperwork this weekend.

| 1112.8 | Channel Marine is CrownLine dealer | AIMHI::TRAHAN | | Mon Oct 11 1993 13:40 | 8 |

My mistake, the new CrownLine Dealer on the lake is Channel Marine,
NOT Thurstons as previously written.
Went out for one final cruise on Saturday before winterizing the
boat. Now I'll be praying for a short winter!
