Not happening. He never showed and never called back after the weekend passed. 2 of the 4 bowl gaskets are shredded. We still can't get it to run.

I really have no words for the poor follow through and lack of competency.

Completely incompetent dealership is the highest rating I would give this bunch. Ordered a new…read morepontoon in late 2020 from this group. Received the pontoon in early Feb 2021. The buying experience was fine and pontoon was prepped and delivered in a timely manner. I paid cash for the boat and the cost of sales tax and registration fees. I was provided temporary tags for pontoon and trailer good for 90 days and was assured that they would call me when the permanent tags were available. After 100 days I called them about the tags. I was told that the dealership had past management problems and had not gotten the paperwork done. I talked to the new manager and he told me he would get everything done and in the meantime he would issue more temporary tags. I drove to the dealership and picked up the second set of temporary tags. The new manager assured me that the tags would be available within a few days. He contacted me about 10 days later and told me they had been mailed. After waiting 5 days I called him find out where the tags were. 2 days later I received the tags for the boat only. No trailer tags. I called the manager again and no answer. I left a voice message. No reply. I called him the following day and he answered. His excuse was that the tax office is backed up and they are waiting on them to issue the license plates. This is a bunch of crap in my opinion. Now over a week later I still have no plates for the trailer. DO NOT BUY anything from this bunch. I'm contacting the DVM in Austin to help me get this resolved.
