What boat's would you like to see in your area?

Growing up outside of Detroit (Farmington Hills), I can remember the Cauley Ferrari/Maserati dealer opening, and would go there often. After school, on the way home in the area, as the last stop to test a date's car knowledge, I loved perousing their showroom and lot. 

Rivolta Yachts is looking to expand up in the Great Lakes, and is looking for a dealer. We had the pleasure of cleaning their Coupe 4.5 at the Miami show, and I was very impressed with the boat. I especially liked the aft cockpit as compared to say, a Hinckley, as Rivolta favors more teak, rather than any plastic/gel/starboard. I remember stepping on a customers Hinckley seat that did not have the leg extended and SNAP! (Ship Shape paid for that). 

In any case, who would you like to see in your area? I think that the Great Lakes has pretty much everybody except some of the more custom shops or family shops (like to bring you to them to see the whole picture) represented, but it sure wouldnt hurt to have a couple more manufacturers represented. Any thoughts on where you think Rivolta should end up?

My vote, Lazzara and Westport! (any day now...)
