The peason said since it hadn't been picked up the order had been cancelled. She said it was at the store but she didn't know how to charge me for it,but would find out and call me within an hour. 4 hours later I called back and someone said they didn't know what to do, but I could call back the next day between 1:00 and 2:00 and his boss could help me. So I called the next day between 1 and 2 and was put on hold for 8 minutes before I gave up. How do they stay in business? This was in the Wilmington N.C. store.

On 1/26/23 I purchased a Gladiator Super Brawler 3 person towable tube from Overton's.It had been…read morestored inside my home since then. Tuesday 7/2/24 was the first occasion I had to use it since I purchased it. We towed two adults for about 1/2 hour at a fairly slow speed (~24 mph) on Lake Don Pedro, a large reservoir in northern California. It was calm with very little chop and we did no wild manoeuvres. After the ride I noticed that the tube was obviously deformed and found that the outside case had a zipper in the back that was opened and ripped apart from it's seam. The air bladder inside was deformed and bunched up in the back part of the case. We tried to drain the water from the toy but couldn't, it was all we could do to drag it back to the boat launch and dump it off at a dumpster there. It was an obviously defective and possibly dangerous product. I hate to think what might have happened to my two young granddaughters who were up to ride it next, accompanied by one of their parents. I reached out to Overton's through email and direct phone contact, to both front line and supervisors. They were congenial but stuck to their scripted responses that it was past its one year warranty (obviously no argument from me) and there was nothing that they could do. I am well aware that things fail and products break. It's how the providing company responds to their failures that relays their loyalty to either customers or profits. I urge my fellow boaters to heed my recommendation to avoid purchasing any products from this company, as the failure of one of their defective products may not just result in the loss of a few hundred dollars, but worse.

We rode the boat around and down to Washington then stopped by here on our return to the launch to drive home. It was getting to the end of the day with the air cooling down and the sun setting. This spot combined with the Blount's Creek that lets out through here made for a wonderfully peaceful and quiet setting. The docks were clean. There's a gas pump with extending hose line so you can fill your boat at the dock. Inside there's an expansive store with shirts, food, snacks, boat and camping supplies. Even tube, kayak and SUP rentals. But I would be remiss not to mention the funny and friendly staff serving up ice cream. It's not 31 flavors but I think most anyone can find something they like out of the 6 or so they have. Looking for a chill out to wrap up a day on the water? This is the place.
