Ron (Valley Sports),
3 years ago I bought a pontoon boat from The Creek Company, the XR-10 model. I couldn't be happier. My son bought the Skykomish Sunrise tooner from Dave Scadden's North Fork Outdoors and he was sorely disappointed with his purchase, which by the way was considerably more costly than mine. He now wants to sell his Sunrise and get an XR-10 like mine. Problem is that The Creek Company decided to discontinue that model 2 years ago.
I see you deal with boats from The Creek Company. Is there any chance you can turn up an XR-10 in your inventory or would you know of an outlet that still has a few on hand? If not, would you know of a comparable boat (pontoon size, frame size, weight capacity, and such).
And, for what it's worth, don't bother recommending anything from Classic Accessories. My 1st pontoon boat broke into two pieces at the welds and Classic Accessories took more than a year to send me the replacement parts. In the end, I sold it as a pool toy for less than half what I paid for it. I have a very hard time accepting Trout Unlimited endorsing the Colorado from Classic Accessories because of my experience and the experience of many others I've read about.
Anyway, I would be interested in your response to the XR-10 question. My son is too. Thanks for your help.
