"All I have to say is all of you are amazing. The boat is running great! Jeff got it back running Friday afternoon. All we were able to find was a set of broken pushrod guides that had broke off and caused the rocker arm to twist sideways therefore not allowing the intake valve to open. We ran it with Jeff Saturday and then got him back on the plane headed home. Shogren and Ateco have done an excellent job! I don't know what else to say, but thanks!"
- Barry Bastin

"Our first experience with Greg, Bruce and Scott from Shogren Performance Marine…..we were blown away!!! We went down to test drive a 35 Lightning but ended up with 38 Express Cruiser…a much better choice for our family, and my wife is finally excited about boating at least as much as I am. Greg sold, delivered and educated us on all the hi-tech stuff. He also got our trade-in to 93 mph (first time ever) Bruce got us incredible financing and made the whole process an absolute piece of cake. I have never met a more sincere and honest group of professionals. Wish I could buy another Fountain from them next year, too!!!"

"I have been a Shogren customer for 4 years and have purchased two 42 lightning’s. I have had many boats in the past and my criteria for searching out a dealer was simple; service, service, service. In today’s market it’s easy to search price through various dealers, heck you don’t even have to leave your house, but it’s the service that most boaters come to rely on. Having a capable and committed team at Shogren has worked out best for me. My first 42 lightning was in storage for the winter and unfortunately was caught in a fire that damaged and destroyed many boats. This was a difficult time since the boat was only a year old and the amount of smoke and water damage was extensive. Scott and Greg couldn’t have been more helpful in getting me back on the water without missing a day. I remember Greg telling me, “Vinnie, you shouldn’t have to deal with this stuff, we’ll do it. I’m glad they are the leading Fountain dealer in the country, since I’m crazy about the performance of my boat, but honestly I would buy anything from this group."

They have many choices in their large showroom and their staff is very knowledgeable.

-Jeff Corlett
"Thank you so much for one of the most exciting auto days ever. I have never had so much fun in a car before. Driving a stock car at 160mph pales in comparison to a road course. The way you drove the Viper was really thrilling for me. Like many sports car owners I fancied myself a good driver and after being humbled on that track I now realize how little I know what car is capable of. THANK YOU!"
-Brad Zastrow
"Thanks for the t-shirts and magazine...it really was a pleasure doing business with you & the rest of the Shogren Team. (Love the shirt but could really use a XXL if you happen to have one!!) Thanks again & hopefully see you out on the water soon!"
-Tom Murphy
"The boat was amazing yesterday. It was all you said it was. I am looking foward to getting plenty of use out of it. Thank you for being as honest as you have been."
-Adam Desanctis
"The feedback I recieved in Oshkosh was amazing. Many people thought it was the best looking boat at the run. Oh yea, the performance spoke for itself. I would have loved the opportunity to really open it up against some of those guys but it was a very tame run. We only ran about 25 miles and the pace boats couldn't have been going over 75. On the way back I was the first one to the marina. I couldn't be more satisfied with the boat and the service. You have good people."
-Vinnie Foglia
"Thanks for the pic!! I think the trailer is awesome!!! I just wanted to thank you for everything. This fire was a disaster and without the help of you and your dealership I think things could have been a lot worse. Thanks Scott for all your help in getting my boat back in order. Your staff is top notch and I mean that. I think you have your dealership dialed in 100%. From sales, finance and service you are on track for another great year."
-John Immormino
"I would like to extend a Thank you to yourselves and shop personnel for your professionalism and more so your down to earth and friendly atmosphere. It is very clear why you are #1 with Fountain and I am sure with your customers. Greg, thank you for your patience with all my questions, lessons in operation during the test ride, making sure everything was in tip top condition including the trailer and making me comfortable to venture into a substantial purchase sight unseen. Bruce, thank you for making the paper work transaction easy and understandable and your quick sense of humor. Keep up the good work, in my eyes there is only 1 place to purchase a boat and that is Shogren Marine."
-Peter Ashley
"Thanks for the pics. Glad I didn't damage the engine. I really appreciate you guys taking care of me. If you ever need a reference about the quality of your dealership, give out my number. Shogrens is night and day different than Dave Wade Marine. Thanks again."
-Chris Garrison
"Thank you for the outstanding customer service you afforded Nancy and I today...we both learned alot...we are absolutely thrilled with the boat and the time you gave us and the knowledge you shared really completed the experience...I am especially impressed with the attention you gave Nancy...I am betting most dealers would have discounted the female in this situation and I am very grateful that you did not....also i know that you probably have already done this but Brian Forehand really deserves a big pat on the back. I was absolutely satisfied with my Donzi but in getting to know Brian I recognize his complete dedication for quality, his desire to take care of customers, and the pride that he has for Fountain Powerboats and it made me want to buy one....Fountain Powerboats is very fortunate to have Brian building their boats and to have you as a dealer. Also, thank you for the travel bag and the Fountain apparel. See you in Key West."
