UTV Stereo And The RP Store At The UTV Takeover

WINCHESTER BAY, OR (08.15.25) – The UTV Takeover in Winchester Bay had an amazing turnout for the event running from August 5th through the 10th. UTV Stereo and area dealer The RP Store partnered for a strong presence at the event under the tent stacked with UTV Stereo gear with The RP Store’s Maverick K beside the tent.

Colby Boeser flanked by Matt Mann and Chris Rutherford in the booth.
The RP Store’s Maverick K was decked out with UTV Stereo gear for demos.

Colby Boeser, Outside Sales Director, travel from the company’s HQ in Mesa AZ to support the key area retailer. “We like to come out and support our dealers and drive sales through them and give them product knowledge to drive sales with UTV enthusiast in throughout area. We attend many UTV events and want to show all how to…Be the loudest on the Trail!”

Customized UTVs out front of the store in Woodburn grab attention.
This demo inside the store shows many upgrade options.

Matt Mann and Chris Rupherford joined Colby underneath the tent that included a wide selection of UTV Stereo products. In addition, The RP Store also had their decked out Maverick K loaded with UTV Stereo gear on display for enthusiast demos.

Colby Boeser back UTV Stereo HQ.
The UTV Stereo showroom in Mesa AZ has many custom UTVs and upgrades on display.

Mann related “Side-by-Side sales make up a lot of our business in Woodburn and participating at events like the UTV Takeover really creates excitement. Many customers want to upgrade their UTVs before the event to enjoy their sound on the trails. Others at the event learn about our products underneath the tent and set up appointments to come into the store make upgrades to their UTVs.”

The RP Store, in business since 2017, is nearly 200 miles from the event in Winchester Bay but enthusiast travel all across Oregon and beyond to attend the event. Woodburn is a town of about 26,000 but business is very strong at their store. Outside the store they place completed projects out front so people driving in the area can see their work and have a chance to come into the store and learn more.

UTV Stereo is definitely a large player in the UTV aftermarket upgrade area. The company’s HQ also features a large showroom sales area with UTV models on display from many brands.
