"RE: 2018 Crestliner 1750 Fishhawk.
I like everything about this boat! The paint job is awesome along with the detailing. I wipe it down after each day of use. it is easy to get the water spots off and shines right up. it is easy to handle in 3 to 4 foot waves, smaller waves it cuts through them like a "hot knife through butter". The engine runs great, there have been numerous times that I have forgot to turn off the big motor while using the electric motor because it idles so quiet. The kicker motor runs great, and steers effortlessly as well as the big motor. I like all the storage space, especially the rod storage. I might add that I bought this boat without seeing it! It was ordered and designed over the phone and internet. I put all my faith in you guys regarding the type of boat I needed to perform on the Missouri River. I never saw the boat till I came to pick it up. You came through like a "Rock Star" Shawn!! Over all this is a A++++ boat. there isn't anything I dislike about this boat!!!! I had 50 days on the water last season in all kinds of weather and caught a pile of fish!!"

"I bought an used Premier Pontoon,. Had Shawn and crew customize into a fishing pontoon. They were patient and helpful as this my first fishing vessel. They have yet to go over it and explain the workings to me, but it is in storage and when I pick it up, they will do so.
Misty is a very pleasant person to meet and deal with! A wonderful dealership to work with and they stock everything one might need"

"Purchased a different boat and Rec Station was fantastic throughout the process. Shawn and all the staff at Rec Station have always been fantastic to deal with over the years. They always get my business whether buying a boat or as simple as a life jacket. Rec Station always goes above and beyond in everything they do and it is appreciated. Thanks again....

"Upgraded our boat to a new Glastron GTSF185, to replace our 2005 Glastron SX175. Shawn and the staff were exceptional in making the deal happen. Received a fair price for our trade in. Shawn was great to deal with and we would recommend him and Rec Station to anyone interested in purchasing a boat."

"I haven't been an easy customer. I am relatively new to the boating/fishing lifestyle. Shawn took the time to explain what makes Crestliner boats the best. I was shown huge value in a used boat on the lot, and i was hooked. The staff at rec station continue to answer my questions to make my fishing boat fun and usable for my expectations.

"So far so good. We did get the boat out last Thursday evening and we were very impressed with how the boat performed! So smooth and amazingly quick for a big boat. I think we are going to be pretty happy with this purchase. (Purchased Bennington 25 GCW Sept 2017) -SB"

"I live in California and needed a part to my boat trailer and the trailer company would not sell me direct. They gave me 4 Boat Dealers/Distributors to choose from. I selected 2 from Colorado, thinking if I go to the big city, I will have better luck. One was in Denver and one in Grand Junction. I could not even get a call back from either of these locations. The rude guy told me he would call me back and never did. I called him back the next day and he hung up on me. I tried my luck with Recreation Station and right off the bat, was greeted by a wonderful woman named Misty. She was pleasant to deal with and told me she had to research the part and would get back to me the next day. She called me back the next day to tell me the company had not gotten back to her but she was still working on it. The next day I called her back and she had already emailed me a parts schematic to choose from. We sat on the phone together while she made suggestions, helped me order what I needed, took my credit card and the next day I had another email with confirmation and tracking. What a great experience. Thanks Misty. You are a prime example of what customer service should be. Thank you....."

"I had just been released from military orders after a long summer at Fort Meade. I was looking for a toy to play with until I went back to school. I was able to find a nice Suzuki dirtbike for a low price. The financing was easy and the friendly service meant for a painless experience. (purchased Suzuki RM-Z450 in 2014)"

"Just brought home a good used YarCraft 1785 from Shawn and crew at RecStation. At the time, I was thinking about moving into a better set up but like a lot of folks in the winter, started out by going to the Crestliner web site and started building my idea of the perfect rig for the kind of waters I fish. More boat than I could swing right now but hey, we can all dream. Well through that search, I got an email from Shawn letting me know that if I was looking for a different boat, let him know and he would see what he could put together. That led to a link to his web site and a look at what he had on hand. So I made a trip up to Spearfish to take a look. While he would have been more than happy to sell me one of his new Crestliners, he showed me a nice clean used YarCraft, that as he put it, would get me by until I could swing that 1850, I built on line. Long story short, he made me a good trade on my rig and had his mechanic install the new IPILOT, I wanted on the bow. RecStation is a great dealership and someday I will be back to take him up on his offer to put me in that new Crestliner 1850. For now I'm more than happy with the deal we made on the YarCraft 1785. Thanks Shawn and Crew."

"Shawn: I just wanted to let you know of the great service you and your staff are providing. Recently I dropped off my pontoon for winterizing, new custom cover and storage. Garick met me in the parking lot and was very helpful and friendly getting me unhooked. He also was very thorough and helpful while answering my questions. Misty is a refreshing voice on the phone and in person. In times when it is difficult to find anyone who really cares anymore, she does a great job. You could write a book on customer service and quality products. The example you set should be a model for all businesses. Thanks again, Doyle S."

"We totally enjoyed the pontoon this summer, but alas just pulled it from the lake last weekend...the final spin around the lake was a beautiful sunny and warm day for mid Oct in northern MN. We tell everyone we can about how great your dealership is! Thanks for all your service. It was great working with you and well worth the trip to do business with you!

"Always awesome to deal with Shawn and crew. We bought our first boat...a used Princecraft...from RecStation a few years back. Since then it traveled the Columbia River, Wyoming, Montana and spent months in the Missouri on Lake Oahe right before we traded it in for a fancy-schmancy kicker motor and Trollmaster on another boat. Wow! Love it. The Trollmaster made our recent trip to the Columbia so much easier. Of course the team set it up pretty and works like a charm. Thanks, Shawn and Crew!"

"We first traded in a Warrior boat here for a Crestliner, and then traded up from that one to a 16.5 SuperHawk, and now we are purchasing a 2016 1850 Commander! 4 boats in 2 years, awesome product, just getting bigger each year, can't beat the pricing or the service, keep coming back to this dealer, that should say something about Recstation! We live 200 miles away, and whenever we've had a question, they've always been able to answer anything we had to ask them! Pretty hard to beat!"

"Several years ago my son worked for Shawn at Rec. Station and it was during that time that I informed Shawn about wanting a new boat and what I wanted. Since that time, my son and myself have contacted Shawn about what he had in stock. Shawn also kept us informed of what was on hand. To keep a story short, in June of 2016 I stopped by and talked to Shawn about a used 2014 Lund that he had in stock, We talked and Shawn shot me a good deal that I finally couldn't say no too. Shawn worked at getting the best financing, and behold, after years of looking, Shawn had me in the boat I was looking for! Shawn and his staff will go that extra mile that you don't see these days! Rec. Station as earned an A+ from me, and I should know, I am a teacher!! lol"
