I called Hartley the other day and found out that they are not a Rinker dealer anymore. The closest dealer on the Rinker site is in VA. anyone know of any dealers close to the upper chesapeake?

Yes, I keep mine at Hartley's (South River Marina).  Certainly is a shame they aren't a Rinker dealer any more.  Stepps in VA is the only one I know of.  The next would be in Stone Harbor, NJ.  ParkRode (George) has his boat there.

Hartley couldn't reach an agreement with Rinker to carry inventory at low enough floor plan pricing.  They decided to partner with Monterey instead.  It all came down to pricing.  I heard they were honoring warranty and service work.  Did they tell you they weren't?

They said bennitt marine would honor warrany issues. Without a dealer in the area we won't be able to see many newer Rinkers boats around and I like to window shop the new boats.
