Thurston's Marine

G&H : cobalt, fountain, malibu (and ebbtide and tahoe for now?)
ECFC: cobalt, fountain, malibu

I bought my Cobalt at ECFC in Massachusetts and when I needed "on-lake" warranty service, they sent me to G&H (Thurstons was "not enthusiastic" about helping me which I understand since I didn't buy the boat there - i would have if they could have matched ECFC's price). There is some association between the two.. maybe co-ownership or maybe just informal, but there is some relationship there.

If G&H/ECFC is seen as a single dealer by the manufacturer, maybe they'll move enough boats between the two locations to satisfy the volume CObalt is looking for. My friends and I have bought 4-5 Cobalts and ECFC's prices were much lower - like 10-20%
