    D&R Sports in Kalamazoo Michigan does a really nice job. It's owned by the VanDam's. I have purchased two boats from them. Both experiences have been excellent. Fair pricing, excellent service, great rigging. Talk to Miles Handley is you're interested.

    Call Ted's Boatarama in Rock Island IL- basically the Quad Cities area. Ask for Joel- great guy- Tell him Tim referred you. My new Z21 was just delivered. Not sure where you are in Illinois. Ted's carries Ranger and Nitro.

    Freedom Outdoors in Ohio was great to work with and just a short 3 hour ride away. Just got a boat from them and was happy with the entire experience!

    Another nice thing about Pro Choice is they are very close to the factory, so less freight/shipping costs.

    Besides price, the advantage I found with Pro's Choice was selection. Right now their website shows they have 44 in stock. When I bought last February I think the count was 90 something. It was not difficult to find a color in a Z19 I could live with. I needed a single axle trailer and they had one in stock which they customized with new wheels and the step system. They can install most any option you want which I'm sure is no different than any other dealer.

    I tried to edit but wouldn't let me for some reason. Anyway, service wise it may be more difficult not buying locally. We have a BPS about 45 minutes from us and I used them for a couple of items that needed attention. The service manager told me he didn't care where it came from. They did a good job so I will probably use them again, if needed. I'm not sure a private dealer would be so cooperative.

    If your buying a 2019 it does not matter. Find a dealer that u trust, talk to the service manager. That will make your experience.
