Thinking of Opening New Skeeter Dealership in South Carolina

[frogfishin]

I am thinking of opening a new skeeter boat dealership in the Summerville South Carolina area and I am looking for some feedback from people in that area.We currently have a Dealership in Las Vegas and we are going to start a new dealership in your area soon.

Thanks Marcus

How about central NC instead? . Our dealer isnt up to par.

I live in Florence, SC and own a Skeeter. I would love for you to open one here in Florence. Besides you have I-20 and I-95 crossing right here. Excellent for business. Hurry up and come on to SC. I looking to upgrade to the I series. Just fished the owners tournament at Murray. Look real hard at Florence. We need a dealer here to take out the Ranger and Triton population.

Maybe you can consider the Missouri Market we could sure use a respectable dealer around central or southern Mo. Smithville is about all there is for Skeeter that I would deal with.....

There is an empty dealership in Summerville but I assume you already new that. We would love to have one here. I think you will sell a plenty. Closest dealer is in Sumter and they are great people but they just don't get the business from the Charleston area. Triton use to dominate around here, they went under and Stratos came in, now you see a lot of Stratos now. If you open a Skeeter dealer you will sell them, no doubt about it. Skeeter sells itself.

Actually there is a huge dealership between Raleigh and Durham that was built brand new, opened for a few months and then the owner got in trouble with the IRS from what I understand. It is empty now. Got a bunch of covered storage and a huge showroom and service bays.

I bought my bug from Sumter, very good dealer. Goes above and beyond, I would buy from them again but would love to have a dealer in the Summerville area. If i didnt have to go back and fourth to Ft Bragg every week I would never make it to Sumter to get the boat worked on. Summerville yes

I own a Skeeter and would love for you to open a dealership up between Summerville and Moncks Corner. Currently the closest Skeeter dealership is about 75 miles away in Sumter. They are great people and they have a great service department but that is the closest quality service department. We really need a good dealership that provides quality service in our area. Skeeter is a great boat and would do well in the area. You would need to provide a salt water line as well. The Skeeter bay boat would sale well in the area. Good luck and I hope you decide to open the dealership.

Thanks for all the info guys.I am trying to find buildings to lease on the internet between summerville and moncks corner but havent found much.I think i am just going to have to wait till i get there to really search.Yes Saltwater is a must there i agree.

Honestly your gonna have a hard time trying to over run FootHills and Palmetto(Same Owners)...They have one here in Western NC an dalso in SC..Not saying dont try but They ar epretty much the main distributer of Bug Boats around here...Good Luck

Wish you the best of luck. Give me a call or IM and I will be glad to discuss what seems to work around here. I am sure you are aware, SERVICE. Look forward to hearing from you and would be glad to work with you any way we can.

[frogfishin]

I am not trying to overrun anyone,just trying to make a living and doing what i love to do.Boat sales on the west coast are virtually gone.I have worked with many of the dealers out here,its just the smart way to do business and i am sure i wont affect any there,besides who wants to drive 2 hours to get there boat fixed.

So are you looking to completely relocate to the new area than? Meaning close the doors in Vegas and "Road Trip"!
