I was thinking of new ways to boost crownline sales and new customers.  I know that a lot of perspective owners always say they have a "friend" or they have heard from people that say that the X boat is great and owning the X boat has been a blast. I was thinking that you guys have been so nice that maybe (upon your approval) I could create a profile labled "Future Crownie" or something like that so that I could give my customers the log in and they could ask you guys how you like your boats, etc. I know when I buy things I like to hear someone who knows the day to day ownership of the item and their experiences, and this will a lot of the time influence my final decision. I like the listen to the people approach rather than the typical boat presentation where all dealers say their boat is the same as the others. These crownlines are not like any boat I have ever sold or driven they are truly amazing and the clients I talk to who own the boats have nothing but rants and raves on the boats and it would be nice to share that with people in the market. The owners and the boats we have are the sizzle, all the others out there are just the steak.  Let me know what you think. also it looks like summer has finally arrived! Have a wonderful weekend guys!

Hi Bishop,

We could certainly think about it, but for the time being the easiest is for possible/future Crownies to simply register on this forum with their own name, introduce themselves and ask away! People have done it before and I hope we can keep inviting newcomers. Personally, I don't like a general user name/nickname, we're talking to real individuals, right?

Another way to help possible newcomers could be a special place on this forum where you can find introductions to various models / write-ups from current owners, FAQ's etc...

Thanks Stefan,

Very good advise, I just wanted to see what all of you thought, that way we could work something out. I just didn't want to flood the owners site with new people who don't own crownlines without an overall consensus of the crownline senate! I was looking for advice and I appreciate it. Thanks for the response! pretty boat by the way! Really good idea on the introductions and the owners write ups, it is hard to be able to explain to the customers the features and benefits without owner testimonials, a lot of boat dealers play it out that all the boats are the same and truly with crownline they are not, I encourage all my clients to demo or water test the boats because the ride and performance speak a different story than the sales jargon most dealers shoot at potential clients. I love my job, the boats and I really believe in my products! With my input, owners input, and customers overall understandings of the boats, Washington state is soon to be an all  crownline state!
