I purchased my first Chaparral boat from them in2011. Always had great service, and they were…read moreextremely attentive to my needs and inquiries... Had to sell it due to a divorce... Once ready to get another boat, I tried a Yamaha jet boat from Marine Max in Greenville. They were the worst organization from top to bottom. They were the worst company I have ever experienced. I couldn't talk to a live person, and it took a few days to get a response to a question. I honestly don't know how those idiots are still in business. Once they had my money they didn't care jack about me as a customer... I saw the error of my ways... Traded the Yamaha in for another Chaparral with Strickland. This was now my 2nd boat with Strickland... They were so attentive it blew my mind... They even made a trip or two out to my dock to service the boat, and also went way above and beyond when I had an issue and needed a tow... These guys are absolutely fantastic!... This week I traded my 23' SSI for a new 247 SSX, and again, the response from them was incredible... This is now my 3rd boat purchased from Strickland... I will never go anywhere else for service. Richard, the salesman has been fantastic 2 times over, now. I've dealt with him on several occasions, and he is attentive, understanding, and very helpful when looking for what you desire from a boat... Chris, the top dog is very understanding and extremely helpful. He gets the big picture and will work things to a proper resolution... Brandon, I call him the wizard, he has answered every question I have wether small or large. He has been extremely helpful over the years, and I could not ask for more from his response... He actually helped tow my boat into the launch when I had an issue last season... Mrs Elizabeth takes care of the documents and fine print, and she is a pleasure to work with, explains all the details. She has answered every question I've had... The phone is always answered when you call, and you will always get your info that is asked for... I cannot speak more highly about this location. I could not ask for anything else from these folks... I've dealt with them from 2011 until present, and there is nobody I would ever go to for my marine/boating needs then these guys... They have been extremely understanding, very attentive, and absolutely easy to work with. They are by far the best in this area. If you are new to the area, I highly recommend Strickland Marine on Hwy 24 in Anderson... I have dealt with boat dealers/service locations for over 40 years ranging from Pennsylvania to Arizona and now to South Carolina... These folks are by far the best I have ever dealt with on every level. You can not go wrong by going to Strickland Marine... But you could go wrong by going somewhere else... Don't make that mistake... Just go to Strickland Marine for any of your boating needs.

I tell the man I feel like I wasted money from the last time I brought it in for the same thing. I was told the first time they would hook it to the machine and it will let them know what to fix. apparently it didn't. now it's looking like 3 weeks because I have to wait on one tech to come back from vacation to get my boat fixed. do you not have other techs?

He provided clear, candid, and transparent responses to all my questions, which was very reassuring. He did a video walk through with me and pointed out minor issues that I would not have seen. He was exceedingly transparent and wanted to make sure my experience was positive. This from a dealer knowing I am several states away and so unlikely to return. He wanted to do the right thing for the right reasons. I would highly recommend Mike without any reservations.

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Highly recommend. Tina Marie We purchased our pontoon from Foothills Marie of Lake Norman and could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and value in all departments. My wife and I visited several boat dealers in the Lake Norman area and settled here at Foothill Marine. We were greeted by a pleasant attentive staff and a very clean show room. My wife and I would like to thank ED in sales who took great care of us right from the start. Ed is extremely knowledgeable in explaining all of the differences of several models and layouts. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. Foothills Hills Marie has a wide selection of boats to choose from and made our experience a pleasure, no pushy sales pitches whatsoever. They delivered our pontoon in perfect order as promised. ED went over the entire pontoon prior to us heading out. We had a GPS/fishfinder installed as well as the second battery prior to pickup. The install was done professionally on both units and delivered on time. Ed did a fantastic job keeping us up-to-date on the delivery and made sure everything was going smoothly as promised. He checked in on us on us after the sale as well to make sure we are 100% satisfied and to see if we needed anything. We would also like to thank Danya in the finance department who made our purchase go very smoothly and had all of our documents in order and ready to go right on time as well. We were then greeted by Josh who thanked us for our business at foothills Marine and discussed the proper break in procedures and answered any questions or concerns we had. Josh put us on the water and made sure everything on board was working as it should. He verified the Coast Guard package that was included on board and took us out to get comfortable with our new pontoon. Foothills Marine is a class act. We couldn't be happier with The professionalism, honesty and all-around good nature working with the Marine dealer who truly enjoys what they do and do it very well. We are really enjoying our new pontoon and wouldn't hesitate to do business with the foothills marina Lake Norman in the future. Stop in and see their selections and meet their staff. They will take great care of you. Dan
