I recently purchased a used Pontoon boat with an I/O motor. As you learn when you buy a used boat,…read moreyou are going to need maintenance. It is very hard to find people you trust to do the work. It is also difficult to find someone to work on an I/O motor. I can't say enough wonderful things about a couple of Pier 36's boat mechanics (Caleb and Daniel). I could tell the minute I met Caleb that he knew what he was doing and had lots of experience. I needed my bellows replaced and he took the time to make sure everything was fine with my boat after the work was finished and we put it back in the lake. He even called me a couple days after he did the work to make sure everything was okay (great customer service in my opinion). Caleb and Daniel also replaced my ignition switch because the starter was engaging when I switched from forward to reverse which caused a terrible grinding noice. Caleb also adjusted some cables and now my shifter lever is smoother than ever. I am very pleased with the service I have received and I highly recommend Pier 36

I had my boat repaired for $855 by Pier 36 Marina in the fall. After I was told that it had been…read morerepaired, I took it home and stored it in my barn. I put it in the water for the 1st time on June 20, 2020 and immediately discovered that the boat's engine was performing exactly as it had when I took it to Pier 36 Marina originally. I telephoned Scott Endree, owner of Pier 36 Marina, twice and he refused my calls. I have since discovered that I am not the only one to have had a poor experience with Pier 36 Marina since Scott Endree purchased the business in September 2018. A better choice for a full service marina in the area would be Apple Valley Marina. It has a solid reputation and is located on the north end of Apple Valley Lake.
