Walstrom's staff and service continue to impress me. I had in issue on the water yesterday with my…read moreLund's trolling motor. Called and their customer service went above and beyond assisting me. As far as coming off the water driving right there for them to test my batteries, as that's what they "thought" the problem might be. Tested, installed new ones and I was out the door. If you looking to buy or anything else with boats this is my go to dealership! Thanks again for getting me back on the water !!

Last fall I took my boat to be winterized and that it had an engine issue. I was told they would…read moreassess and take it out on a lake to assure the work was complete. They contacted me and said it only needed a new prop. Also informed me the bilge pump needed to be replaced. I told them I would bring it in the spring. At that time the boat went into storage. This spring I immediately took it to Walatrom's to get the bilge replace along with 3 other services they recommended. I was told it was to be done in 4wks. After 4wks I was told the bilge had a loose wire and was repaired. They gave me a Spring set up but had no time for the additional 2 request. I pick up my boat and got it on the lake with no change in engine performance. I removed the prop they installed put on a different one and returned it. They informed me they NEVER take boats on a lake, they only test them in the barrel. When the manager look at my original invoice he saw where it was to be tested in the lake. They did return my money for the prop. I had been going there for years when they were Traverse Bay Marine and their service was exemplary. I will never go to Walstrom's again or recommend them to anyone.

I see a few bad reviews for Grand Bay Marine which appears to have been bought by Walstrom in 2022…read more In 2026, I had my boat in twice for some work in June and July and I was very pleased with the service, the price for the repairs, the quick turn around time, etc. I do assume time lines will vary based on what the boat needs and the timing of busy season in Traverse City, so I am sure some people will have a longer wait at times. But I will be back if I need repairs in the future! A couple years ago I needed a part for my old 2002 motor and they were the most helpful in helping me track down what I needed since they did not have it in stock (nor did any other repair places in the area). Great job!

I bought a used pontoon boat a few years ago from them. It's been a great boat and their…read morerecommendation to buy it was good advice. I've had the boat serviced by them for the last couple of years. So far, everything has been fine. They are very nice, and responsive. Everyone seems to care and know what they are doing. I found the owner very pleasant and concerned with addressing concerns.

Dave is "Master" of the Chris Craft World! We purchased a 1962 16 ft Chris Craft Ski Boat. Our boat…read moreneeded some TLC and we found Dave-searching and hoping for the best place for Chris Craft repair/maintenance. We were not disappointed. Dave took on our project. He took copious notes on what he found, told us what he thought we should do, and then he got to work. We knew we were in good hands because we could see the passion Dave has for his craft. (His knowledge can not be challenged.) He covered every inch of the boat. When all was said and done; we were able to take the boat out on a nearby lake. Dave took us through the paces, showing us what he did and why, and how to "love" our boat in the future. He also tweaked our trailer so that the boat would have a safe journey home. We are now enjoying our boat on Lake Maxincuckee thanks to Dave.
