    Thinking of buying boat in KY..

    Hey all, hope you don't mind a fella from upstate NY... but I'm in the market for a new Ranger Z521 and found out of state prices much better than anywhere close to me.

    Does anyone have experience (good or otherwise) with Pittsburg Marine in London, KY? Any opinions are greatly appreciated or if there are other Marina's I should price out let me know. Thanks!

    I may be biased because of location, but Jet-A-Marina in calvert city, Ky (Ky lake area) has one of the best reputations in terms of customer service and satisfaction. I have had good experiences with them - and so has everyone I have talked to. They have a good website, and I am sure they will help you out and be good to deal with.

    If you are buying new, you are probably going to be getting it serviced locally anyway and warrenty will be coverd by Ranger and Mercury or the motor manufaturer.

    If you are buying used I cannot vouch for any particular marine service. However, In the past 10 years I have sold 3 boats. Each one on Ebay and all buyers have been from out of state, Michigan, Virginia and South Carolina. All three buyers made the comment that they purchased my boat because they felt confident that it had never been used in salt water since we were so far inland. They were right, all were used only in fresh water. Two weeks later they all said they were very happy with their boats. (wish I had never sold two of them).

    Good luck, happy fishing

    Jet-a-Marina. There is a reason they were the number one Ranger Dealer in the nation last year for single unit sales.

    i drove from west kentucky to northwest arkansas to save 12 grand on a new 208. if the boat is new it has the best warranty in the business and you should not worry about where you get it. i shopped on the internet and made a few calls and bought it over the phone. you do the same and you can get an awesome deal.
