Thank You guys so much for having me! My name is Bishara but I go by Bishop. I just joined the Team @ Sportboat Northwest in Seattle, Washington's dealer for Crownline boats and I am very excited! What beautiful boats! It is a pleasure to be a dealer for such a well built and exquisite boat and to be honest I'm envious of you guys! I own an aft cabin motoryacht and I know the importance of an owners forum from technical information to getting an idea of how real life people are using and enjoying their boats. I am always seeking advice and owners input so if you have any send it my way! Also if you have any questions or need anything regarding your crownlines I would love to help. Thanks again and have a great weekend, hopefully some sun comes our way!!

Bishop

Welcome Bishop!!!

It is always nice to have a dealer come by with there wisdom.  Don't hesitate to ask questions.  Or answer them as well.

Thanks so much,

 I just started here at Sportboat Northwest in Seattle and I love it, it's so easy to have a passion for these boats and it's a product I am proud to sell! I sold Sea Rays, bayliners, whalers, and many others. I have always had a strict self policy to never bash the competition all I can say is that these crownlines are amazing and I am gracious to be with the company as we expand to make crownlines presence known here in the Northwest! By the way I just got a chance to drive the 340 with the axius control WOW! I have never driven a cruiser that was easier to dock and drive than a runabout, cool stuff! I will definitely ask some questions from time to time because you owners who cruise all the time know your boats! Anything you may need you can always email or contact us here at the office @ 206-545-7220

Hi Bishop, I purchased my 240LS from you guys last summer.  Welcome to the Sportboat northwest team. Any word on when you guys are moving into your new location?  Very excited to see the new dealership and to be able to boat to it.  Great to see your passion for Crownlines.

Well congrats on the 240!  How do you like it so far? We should be moving to the new building on the 5th of July! They are working on the new location and it is looking great, I actually used to work out of that building when it was Lake Union Sea Ray and the new layout is going to be great. It will be a great location both on the water and from the road. tons of parking, great visibility and it's been a boat dealership for many years with great traffic. Imagine walking in,  taking a tour and walking downstairs for a test drive! or pulling right in for service. how cool. I am already oooohing and awwwing at these boats and clients are amazed with the performance,handling, and quick plane with a very well designed and finished boat it's very easy to see why these boats are so sought after. We are going to get more Crownlines out on the water and get them the Publicity they need! We have a great team, an awesome owner, the right boats and the best customers, I think I found my dream job! You'll have to come in and see us!

Thanks so much and We'd love to see ya! 

Bishop

Bishop,

It is great that you are moving to the new location. The old location was hard to get in and out, with the boat. I bought my boat last year from you all. Love the boat and ride. I look forward to coming over to the west side to check out the new digs.

Come on down, we'd love to see ya! we are having a Fourth of July get together down on the docks for the fireworks and welcome all crownline owners and those that wish they were!  If not stop by the new store when we open up I'll be sure to post here when we have our grand opening. It's going to be nice, water demos right there, tons of parking out front and we are going to be expanding our service department and will have drive up service capabilities for those who keep their boats in the water, you can now pull into the new location with your boat and have it serviced right at the store with now trailer hook up! Thanks again guys I am having a great time, sold my first crownline a 185ss yesterday and have a few in the making I love my job! the best boats, the nicest customers and a great company to work for! what more could I ask for in life? Referrals, but that would be extra! Thanks guys!

 

Bishop

Wow this is great... we might just come over and dock up or drop anchor near the dock for the show.  Last year we were out on the buoy line in Lake Union and you guys came by in a cruiser and dropped off a bottle of wine... now that's service!!!  Would there be a place for us to tie up at the dock or at least drop anchor 50 feet out?

We will have to plan our first Lake Washington Crownline Rally one of these days.  Would be fun to have everyone tied up together.

I'm almost certain It'd be alright if you tied up at our docks, we'd love to have ya! Let me just check to make sure we have a spot. I get back to the office on Friday and I'll let you know for sure! and I definitely agree on the crownline rally. We have been selling a good # of boats lately and it's growing, I'd love to have a logboom of our own customers and staff out there having a blast! Maybe I can talk to the managers here about putting something together towards the end of summer, the staff here is awesome and we love our customers! It's a great fit! I'll let you know on Friday for sure!

 

Thanks,

Bishara

Thanks.  Let me know what you find out.

Hey Greg,

 I am still trying to find out if we could get you a spot in there at the new building, the owners of the new building are actually going to squeeze in a 100+ foot boat on the cement dock right next to our slips, so all the boats that we have in slips and not on the breakwater will be blocked in. We will have 2 spots on the break water only for the fourth, we might be able to raft up next to one of the boats on the breakwater but I don't as of yet know what boats are going to be on the break water. I'll keep you informed as I hear more.

 

Bishop

Thanks, just let me know.  I am happy to raft up to another boat if needed.  We were out on Lake Washington today and saw someone in a new 340... looked amazing.

Yes the 340 is amazing and what's even cooler is the new axius control system, I have never in my life docked a 36' boat easier than docking a small sport boat it is amazing, call me down here sometime and I'll take you out on it and show you the new axius system and the boat itself. I'll talk to the owner again tomorrow now that we are getting closer to the fourth and we'll try our best to get you in there, even rafting up on the breakwater. Hope you are not reading my email today from home, what awesome weather, I'm hoping you are soakin up the rays on that beaut of a boat you have!

 

Bishop

Hey Greg,

 I spoke with the owner today and she said she'd love to make it work just for you! I know we were pretty tight on space but we will get something figured out just for you! The fourth is one of my favorite holidays and the view from the new store is spectacular. If you'd like to come down the fourth you have a spot at our dock, I don't quite have an exact slip for you to pull into but we will make it work the day of. Please get a hold of me at Sportboat northwest's # 206-545-7220 or email me bishop@sportboatnorthwest.com and I will give you my cell # and you can call the day of and I can have something set up for you. Again we are honored to have you as a crownline owner and customer of yours and we'd love to see you on the fourth!
