Does anyone have any comments on "Manufacturers Warehouse" in Grafton,
MA? A big place, but selling 3 lines of boats I've never heard of
(not that that means anything), these are RENKEN, MARLIN, and
GLASPORT.
Does anyone know anything about this place or these brands?

This place used to be Denny's Marine. I live about a mile from this place, so if anyone needs anything from them just let me know. I know that they have *LOTS* of boats. Their showroom is full, there are boats parked outside along the street, and this morning there was a big truck pulling under their I-beam hoist with another half-dozen boats on it. I dunno who's buying all these boats, but someone must be. I, too, am not familiar with Glasport boats, although I am familiar with Renken and Marlin. They seem to sell the whole line of Marlin boats, from the ski boat to the large cabin cruiser. Although I drive by there twice every day I don't pay much attention to the boats anymore since they sold their Correct Craft franchise to Gauch Bros. in Shrewsbury. That's probably saved me from getting into an accident as I'd be gawking at the Ski Nautiques in the window and end up plowing into someone pulling into the hardware store across the street. :-) As to service there, I don't have any personal experience. When Denny was there I dealt with him couple of times, but only for parts, and he was very helpful. ...Roger... | |||||

Does anyone have any more specific info on Renken boats? I can only
guess based on the price and a cursory inspection that they're maybe
midrange or very slightly below on the quality scale.
But without a frame of reference it's tough to tell.
