I love to fish and I wanted to fish bigger water in the years ahead so I figured I would start the search for the newest member of our fishing family. I went to the Minneapolis Boat Show to compare boats and boat dealers and because of the reputation of Ranger Boats and because Todd from Frankie's Marine was so friendly and excited to talk about fishing and share various innovations on the product, I decided that Ranger was the boat for us! Frankie's Marine in Chisago Lakes has been a family owned entity as long as I can remember. I grew up in the area and figured if I was going to be buying a Ranger, that I would definitely be buying from them. We ordered our Ranger 621FS and proceeded to visit the showroom once or twice a week to size up all the accessories we anticipated putting on after delivery. When the boat arrived we had an issue with the wrong fabric on our seats... Todd jumped in and got it taken care of for us, and in less than 10 days Ranger had delivered us brand new seats and they were installed at the shop. We had a few other minor tweaks needed and the service center got us in and out in less than 48 hours. It's strange for me to think that the largest Ranger Boat dealer in the country is the one in the little town I grew up in, but after being an actual customer, I can see why they sell as many boats as they do. A big thanks to the whole team that helped us get into our new dream boat... now I just have to figure out how to actually catch as many fish as this boat makes me "look" like I can! :D. read less

When I was there last Sunday (before memorial day) the guy working was amazing. After I explained what I was fishing for bass + northern he gave great advice not just what to get but how to use it in this weather and in great very detailed examples and where. It worked I got a very nice bass that night! Thanks dude, sweet place! read less

Plenty of tackle if you forgot anything. I've heard a wonderful things about their boat sales as well, but I haven't purchased a boat from them yet.

What I mean by that is handshakes mean something and keeping your word still exists at Frankie's. I appreciate honesty and that is why Frankie's will be my go to boat dealer from now and into the future. Call Todd and he'll get you setup. read less
