In the end, I bought in Norfolk and shipped the boat to New England. HMB walked me through the whole process, followed up with with many phone calls.

These guys are a joke; they have no clue what they are doing…read more I had a part that needed to be returned to Yamaha to re-program it. I was told by Yamaha to send in the part thru a dealer, and they would re-program it for free. I went thru Norfolk Marine (Big Mistake). I dropped the part off on Wednesday and explained to the service manager what had happened and exactly what Yamaha told me. I also provided him the information Yamaha requested to be sent in with the part. He said he would have his tech look at it, I asked him why and that it just needed to be forwarded to Yamaha, he said just to verify the part. A few hours later I received a call from him saying a Yamaha tech would be out to program and install the part. I said that Yamaha was very specific stating the part could only be programmed at Yamaha. I asked him if he spoke to Yamaha and he said yes (this was a bold face lie) and they told him it could be programmed in the field. He told me the tech would meet me at 8:00AM that Friday. I took off of work Friday morning and the tech did not show, I tried to call the service department's manager at 9:00AM, and he was not in, the receptionist said she would let him know when he came in, he returned my call about 15 minutes later and said the tech was wrapping up and would be out shortly, he showed up around 10:00AM and told me no one had scheduled him to come out to my boat. He spent about an hour or so and could not get the part to work, he then called his office and tried a couple of other things, still did not work, he then called Yamaha, and they said the part would have to be sent to them in order to get it re-programmed (waste of 4-days). They then sent it to Yamaha, and it went through some problems there. Yamaha finally got it programmed and overnighted it back to Norfolk Marine (Thursday). I called Norfolk Marine the next day (Friday) and they said it did not come in and they would be looking for it. I called the following Monday, and they said it still had not shown, I then called Yamaha, and they told me it was signed for and gave me the tracking number. I entered the number, and it said it had been delivered the prior Friday. I called Norfolk Marine, and they went on an Easter egg hunt, come to find out it was delivered to the parts department and they refused it and told UPS it was supposed to go to Yamaha. It has been over 5-weeks, and I have not been able to use my boat, the part is now missing, and Norfolk Marine has no clue where it is.

On 21 June '25 i took my 2006 Hurricane Deck boat in for a 'Fuel filtering & purifying' service due…read moreto the outboard motor (Yamaha 115HP) being sluggish above ~3,500RPM. I explained within the last year I had changed out all fuel filters (between squeeze bulb and low pressure fuel pump, between low pressure fuel pump and Vapor Separator Tank (VST), high pressure fuel filter in VST), replaced High Pressure Fuel pump, fuel injectors, and installed a fuel water separator. I called on Wed. (25 June) to check on status of repairs and was notified by service manager that a technician had taken a fuel sample and identified that there was no issue with the fuel. I do not know the location (inside fuel tank?, fuel line off squeeze bulb?) of the fuel sample that the technician took. Additionally, I was informed the technician noted there were Auto Lite spark plugs in the outboard motor and changed the spark plugs to NGK (OEM) and stated the engine ran fine and was ready to go. Of note, I had changed those spark plugs to Auto Lite's (which are marine replacements for a Yamaha F115) last year. Cost was ~$417. I took the boat home on Fri. (27 June) and ran it in the water (NO CHANGE TO THE SLUGGISH CONDITION). After further troubleshooting myself I identified the engine oil level was way above normal (indicating a low pressure fuel pump dumping gas into the oil). I changed out the low pressure fuel pump and I'm in the process of cleaning/changing out fuel injectors. My frustration is that no one contacted me about not doing the fuel filtering & purifying, changing spark plugs, etc. before I called to check on status. Furthermore, I found the 'way above normal engine oil level'. I will never do any business with Norfolk Marine again.

I started trying to buy a boat that they had in stock the first part of July.

The sales team has no idea what they are doing, they were acting like this was the first time they ever sold a boat and made my experience terrible. And if you buy out of state you don't even get a temp tag for the trailer, the lady there said they "don't have the license to do that". I will never buy anything else from here again.

This is the primary sales facility for Lynnhaven Marine, the Beach's largest and oldest power boat…read moredealer. The building's basically a small strip mall without petitions inside, which allows the company to keep a number of boats under-roof for viewing in all types of weather, much like a car dealership. Additionally, there are always a number of fully rigged boats in the parking lot outside facing Shore Drive, so you really have no excuse if you miss this place if you're looking to buy a new boat. Lynnhavenn's brands include all the Brunswick boats (their largest business being done in Bayliner, Sea Ray, Boston Whaler and Lowe), and many others, including Wellcraft, Rinker, Seaswirl, Polar Kraft and Sea Fox. Motor-wise, they carry both Mercury and Yamaha outboards, and all the inboard and inboard-outboard brands. As the number of Tidewater new-boat dealers shrank during the Great Recession, Lynnhaven continued in business, and actually came through the economic trauma stronger than before. And, even though new-boat buyers now have fewer than 5 dealers to visit in Hampton Roads in their quest for a new boat, you might actually enjoy a sales experience at Lynnhaven Marine. While you won't feel as if you were able to strike any particular deal on the price, the pleasantness and technical capabilities of the folks here, and general knowledge of boating and the local boating scene, will make your purchase pleasurable, and as trouble-free as possible. No bargains, but a multitude of good products, and knowledgeable and friendly folks to help you through your purchase.

I thought they had sent me a brand new prop by mistake. After some very close scrutiny it was my prop, but it sure looked brand new. Then when I put it on the boat and took a test drive, it performed better than it did when it was new. And I thought the price was very reasonable. I will never send another prop any where else.
