2012 PREMIER PONTOON DEALER SHOW -    HIGHLIGHTS

August 14-17, 2011    Wyoming, Minnesota

Definitely the highlight of the show, other than winning the largest Premier dealer in the world by dollars, was the Premier 290 Entertainer. Winnisquam Marine has ordered a 270 Entertainer for immediate delivery. This is just one awesome boat.

Here's another interesting boat that Winnisquam Marine has on order- a 2012 Premier 240 Sunsation with an upper deck and slide. There's an awesome deal on these right now. 50% off on the slides. So- Winnisquam Marine is ordering 2 of these upper deck boats with slides. There's even a small water pump that lubes the slide. This one won't fit inside our showroom unfortunately. Call for pricing. Our first one is on order ASAP for immediately delivery. Lots of room up, down and all the way around (the slide that is).

Oh-Wow, look, there it is- the flagship of the Premier pontoon fleet. The Premier 310 Boundary Waters! 31 feet of pure luxury. 10 feet 2 inches wide. With a Skye-Deck and slide. All kinds of seating. All kinds of storage. All kinds of luxury. All kinds of fun with that slide... Single or dual engines.

Julie just sold one of these 310 Boundary Skye Decks! Good job Julie !!!!

Some new features for 2012:

Left- Premier's new driver console that has a HUGE cooler/livewell, underneath storage, locking glovebox, sink, paper towel holder and last but not least- a drink holder...

Right- Premier's new Freedom Galley. The front has either- storage, icebox or refrigerator. Corian counter top cutting board,several drink holders, paper towel holder and sink.

Here's the new 2012 Premier Grand Isle! The sangria panels with black hammered rails is stunning. Top right- here's the new mobile armrest/drink holder. Lower left- See the Grand Isle lounger, a really neat lounger that allows you to ride facing forward/lounge with a back rest/or completely fold down the backrest so you can rest in the lap of luxury. Completely new for 2012- the lounger halves hinge separately. Lots of storage space underneath.

One big 300hp Mercury Outboard engine !!!!

Here's Premiers new 2012 Sunsation RL. That stands for rear lounger, and this is going to be very popular. You can face aft, forward or even sideways in this lounger setup. There's 3 plastic tubs with drains that can be used for a cooler, storage or a wet bathing suit bin.

Ohhhhh baby- look at those LED lights under the rubrail. NICE. Premier has several LED lights available for 2012.

Premier's grille and their new apron. Their grille is conveniently located where ever you want to attach it, and the apron keeps the upholstery clean. 

Not that Winnisquam Marine likes this new flooring option for 2012, with wood plank style design, but it's available. Much nicer is Premier's new seagrass flooring. Soon to be at Winnisquam Marine, that's the seagrass not the wood plank.

Premier's new EPA compliant fuel system for 2012. This stupid thing adds about $600 to the price of all boats sold in the USA for 2012. Not a good idea to add regulations like this during these times...
