Winni Marine has been very good since the Crawford's bought it as Channel Marine. Under the previous ownership, not so much.

Monterey makes a dam nice boat and Winni Marine is a family owned and top notch marina who will service you well after the sale!
Two good choices!

We have bought multiple boats as well as store with Winnisquam Marine. As far as I am concerned, they are the best operation in the area by far.
I was very happy to see them drop Crownline and pick up Monterey. Monterey builds a quality product, in fact one of my favorite boats at the show was the new Monterey Elite 30 OB. We have owned 3 Monterey's in the past back from Shep Browns had the line.
Blackfin is also a Monterey built boat. I believe that Monterey originated from people that left Chapparal. Coincidently one of my other favorites was the 280 OBX.

We've had the same 24' Monterey for 24 years now and I'd do it all over again for sure. It just keeps going and going.

We stopped by their display at the boat show yesterday. Nice looking boats and their rep (Colby Gamache) was very knowledgeable.
Don’t know much about Winni marine but Monterey boats are impressive. Very solid. Nice fit and finish.
