We came all the way from Washington to check this place out, and from the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everyone there was incredibly helpful. Jesse took the time to answer all of our questions and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We ended up purchasing a VR235 F2 Veranda, and it was the best decision! Romney and his team truly know what they're doing, and Chris made the financing process smooth and easy. Huge thank you to Carey and Sons Marine for such an amazing experience. We couldn't be happier with our purchase! read more

Unethical business practices. We bought a brand new Crownline, it was delivered shoddy with rips and tears in canvas, speakers not tightened, spray nozzles cracked and not working .. horrible shape. It's been a year and FAIN AND CROWNLINE won't make it right .. we are continually ignored in correspondence . I've been a CPA for 40 years and NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF DISLOYALTY AND FRAUD OF CUSTOMERS! BUYER BEWARE .. many reviews like mine online! read more

the worst experience I've had with any business since I moved to Granbury in 2016. I needed leak repairs on an older boat and I was able to trouble shoot the issue and diagnose the possible repair needed. I was given a quote for the repairs and trusted they would be professional and honest. They misdiagnosed the repairs needed. I went ahead and authorized the work based on what I was told. Once the engine was removed the repairs needed were exactly what I predicted. The repair was a gasket and was less work than the stern drive bolts I was told were rusted out and would need to be replaced. I did not request another quote based on this, my bad. I assumed they would adjust the cost accordingly. After the work was finished I asked if they confirmed the leak was fixed. I was told no they had not because of problems with their test tank. I told them I would not pay for any repairs unless they could confirm it was not leaking anymore. At that time I was told I could do my own test in the lake. I stated that was not happening and they needed to do the necessary test, not me. The GM implied I would have to pay extra for them to take the boat to the lake because it was a two man job and time is money. I refused and asked to speak to the owner. They agreed that they would not charge extra for this test. When they confirmed the leak was fixed I went to pick up the boat. I believed the tank test would have been included in the quote I was given originally, however they had a tank test itemized on the Bill which was separate from the leak repair cost and the final Bill equaled the quote price plus almost exactly the cost of the so called tank test, how convenient was that. I chose not to argue the point and just wanted to get out of there. The bad experience wasn't over yet. when I arrived home and started looking at my boat I discovered it was completely filthy with grease all over the interior seats and areas where they had climbed in and out of the boat. I spent Two hours cleaning the vinyl and fiberglass that was smeared with grease. I was disgusted and angry. The worst service ever. Total disrespect of the boat and unprofessional leaving it to be picked up in that condition. I recommend you Drive far as you have to for your boat service it will be worth it in the end. read more

I bought a couple boats from Fain, he did all that he promised. Always found him to be honest and reliable....all in all I am very happy with both purchases. The main issue is I keep hitting stuff with the boat but they can't help that :). I look forward to buying another in about 5 years. read more

Received a verbal quote for basic maintenance, oil and filter including gas filters and gear lube (no impeller) on a 60 Command Thrust of a range between $500-$600. The guy that quoted me, even called the tech on the phone with me standing there about the range of anticipated cost. When I went to pick up my boat today, the price had changed by $300! Just shy of $900. When I inquired why the drastic difference from the quote - the same guy that quoted me said, "yeah, I remember you. I remember calling the tech and getting a quote." he looked at the bill and said, "I'm just a boat guy and not a tech. If you want to buy a boat from me, I can give you a price. I don't work on them", and handed me the bill to pay. Just lost a customer. Not that they care, nor should they. Seems like every time I try to spend local, it reminds me why I bought somewhere else. read more

My boss has known Romney, the owner, for many years and has told me how friendly and generous he and his family has been to her and her business as well as the whole of Granbury! Well today I saw that in action when he and his incredibly awesome staff sacrificed two of their tractors, which they need to literally do their jobs, so that our little client could have his dreams come true... up close and personal with the two tractors he sees everyday and can't stop talking about!! Thank you Romney, and ALL of you!!! "TRACTORS UP!" read more

Excellent marine and gun shop. I also got Het Dude shoes and ammo. They were very helpful and nice!

This man Romney Carey should not be a business owner. He is extremely rude and a bully. He verbally abused my mother. She asked that they call before they did any repairs. They had her boat for three weeks and never attempted to call. She finally got ahold of them on week three and they had done service work to it and that wasn't the agreement. When she came to pick up her boat the bill they handed her the bill and said she was responsible for it and arguments occurred. However that wasn't the real issue. It was the way it was handled and the way Romney spoke to my mother. My husband stepped in after the way he spoke to my mother. Romney then tried to provoke my husband into a physical altercation. I can't believe the level of unprofessionalism. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. EVER. They are extremely overpriced as well. read more

December 2020 our family purchased a used vessel; included in the purchase agreement were a number of specific items/repairs that were to be made inclusive of "Fiberglass Repairs." After thorough communication and understanding of these repairs payment in full was rendered and the vessel was kept for nearly 3 weeks to tender same; we were then contacted to arrange receipt of vessel where they agreed to deliver to us. An excellent job was done on 50% of the vessel. That's correct; they chose to only repair one side of the vessel not both as was agreed upon. One would think it would be simple for them to acknowledge this, apologize the same, come get the vessel and complete the agreed upon scope. They refused. Legal efforts were made to offer Carey & Sons & respective owner, Romney Carey, to remediate matter. Their attitude, matter of fact position, unwillingness to address formal response in writing by counsel, and the sheer fact that they fraudulently breached their own agreement should be reason in it of itself why anyone should ever consider doing business with them. There's two kinds of people; do right and not do right. Our unfortunate experience clearly outlines a black and white model of Carey and Sons being "not do right" read more

Great gun store, honors prices posted and the young man in there is always very friendly and is knowledgeable about firearms. If you call with a question and leave a voicemail he is very prompt to respond with a answer. The only firearm store I go to in Granbury. read more

Bought a band new boat a year ago, traded in our old one, bought accessories had add ons, service that is very surprising and refreshing the whole process has been a pleasure read more

I recently purchased a new Crownline boat from Carey and Sons. My experience with everyone was wonderful. From sales, to credit and even the service people were outstanding. They make you feel like you're buying a boat from family. I have had some issues with the boat and they have responded quickly in trying to get everything fixed. They have kept me in the loop on the repairs and I have not had to call to follow up on what's going on. Crownline is lucky to have them representing them. My wife and I understand that when purchasing a product no matter what it is you can and will have some issues with it, but how the people who sold it to you respond has a huge impact on how you feel about your purchase. We would highly recommend them if your in the market for a boat. read more

My experience with Carey & Sons Marine left a bad taste in my mouth. I would honestly never use them again. I took my boat in to be summarized. Every call I received from that point forward was to tell me a repair needed to be made. After receiving a $3600 invoice I did my own research & found out there were many unnecessary repairs made. I'm a female & they took complete advantage of me. After discussing my bill they said I could pay it out in a few installments. $1500 coming from my bank acct, the rest charged to my CC. They took out $1500 from my checking account in 3 separate drafts. Two weeks later decided to take an additional $500 from my bank account that put me overdrawn with a $30 overdraft fee. I called the company saying I needed to speak with someone immediately. I wanted to speak with the man I've dealt with throughout this process....he unfortunately was "busy". He's yet to call me back! You'd think they'd have the decency to pay my overdraft fee from a draft that WAS NOT AUTHORIZED! Many lessons learned! read more

I traveled approximately 500 miles to buy a boat from these guys. Completely led to believe it was going to be a hook and go, boat water ready. I arrive boat will not run, I wait around two hours try to haggle the price as to a non running boat, I will take the risk. Go to sign papers and no titles. So no I wouldn't go there. Never again. read more

Great boat dealership! Purchased a used bass boat I saw on their online listings and the whole transaction went extremely smoothly. I confidently recommend this dealership and would purchase another boat without hesitation. It is a family business and everyone was awesome. read more

Horrible place!!! people are very rude. They had our boat for over 2 months then we got a bill for over $2300 and replaced so many parts that I believe now was not needed. We Brought our boat home to find they broke the extension wheel to remove it from our truck. We told them to come fix it and the guy got verbally abusive to my husband on the phone and then when he arrived. They fixed it and we put the boat in the water to find out what we took it in for wasn't fixed and our boat still didn't work right and on top of that they damaged our prop on one of their test drives. When we called again they kept telling my husband it can't be fixed, really so why did I pay $2300 for a boat that they now said can't be fixed. By the way my boat is a Malibu exchellon and has always been cared for and maintained. I went ahead and finally adjusted the carb myself (which is why I took it to them) the boat runs great now but the other issue was the depth gauge, well I will find someone else to do that. now I have to trailer my boat to ft. Worth and get our prop fixed. Amazing we have been driving boats for over 23 years and have never damaged a prop and now I have to pay more money for someone else's carelessness. Oh btw don't bother them and tell them they damaged anything they don't care and get very verbally abusive. I will never do business with these people again and I recommend you don't either if you want the work done. read more
