While
boat dealer P.D. Sohn did much
of the work, he attributes his
customers to developing the design
of the Premier 230 Elite, a pontoon
boat designed specifically for
Lake Conroe.
"After
years of being on the water, we
finally found a flexible manufacturer
who is willing to go the extra
mile to provide customers with
exceptional quality," says
Sohn, who opened his dealership
on Lake Conroe 18 years ago.
The
quality construction of Premier
230 Elite includes rotocast seat
bottoms, chambered 25" pontoons,
and lifetime replacement deck
warranty. The triple tube boat
is available with a 4.3 Volvo
Duo-prop I/O engine to ensure
immediate takeoff and skier satisfaction.
As
more bulkheading sprouts along
the shore, Lake Conroe becomes
rougher because the waves cannot
dissipate. As a result, the trend
is now larger boats, but many
exceed the size of the docks.
Sohn designed the 230 Elite to
answer the need for a larger boat
that fits the standard dock sizes.
"Most
of the pontoon boats we saw were
either too long for the docks
or too short for the lake"
he said. "Now there's the
230 Elite."
Sohn
attributes the new model to his
customers.
"With
our on-the-water location, we
have the privilege of seeing customers
every weekend. That helps us know
what works best for them,"
he said.
Much
of the dealer's inspiration comes
from his 19 years selling boats
on Lake Conroe. When Sohn opened
the business, he was the first
dealer in the area to offer in-the-water
demonstrations.
"Many
people don't even test drive their
boat before they purchase it,"
Sohn said. "We want our customers
to feel confident behind the wheel,
so the only thing on their mind
is having a great time on the
water."
Sohn
and crew offer test drives in
the entire Premier Pontoon line
every weekend. Contact Lakeshore
