    I wouldn't go anywhere else than Knox. Not knocking any other dealers, but as with any service provider, when you find people you like and can trust, it's an easy recommendation to make. Knox takes very good care of their brand and it shows.

    Absolutely. Time and time again, dealing with Knox Marine, I’ve received even better prices and service than I expected, and after dealing with them for many years, my expectations are pretty high.

    Another vote for Knox Marine from me! Fantastic people to deal with on every level! I have bought 2 boats from Knox Marine over the last 10yrs or so 1 used and 1 new and had nothing but professional honest sales and service on both! I also can recommend Freedom Outdoors (Wheelersburg) Bought a ChampioN new there in 08 and had nothing but great service from them as well.

    It'll depend on what brands your looking at. Give Sean a call at Wieda's. Tons of knowledge with different brands and super easy to deal with. They carry a ton of used boats and new skeeters, triton, legend, and phoenix.

    Freedom outdoors in Wheelersburg is where I bought mine. They've treated me pretty well. I would definatly buy from them again.

    I deal with Knox Marine, to me they are the best. When I was sick Steve came to my home and winterized my boat free of charge. I call that service.
