I noticed that "yelps computer system" has not given value to 3 other negative posts. You should read them! I too was a victim with one of those posters. We spent 2.5 years of pure hell working with this company. All while he had over 3 million dollars of judgments of past victims wiped out by a bankruptcy and then changed company name. He's now running the same scam as Precision Craft Boat Works. How our court system allows people to get away with this is beyond me. We then started learning the stories about the other 5 new boat builds that were in his building unfinished. He of course had an excuse for each, none of which were his fault. When we started tracking these people down and talking to them, we found they were in the same situation we were in. 4 of the 5 boats had been there for over 4 years without anything being done to their boats. The 5th boat signed a contract within a month of us. Ultimately, we hired our own contractors to come in to work on our boat. We were many 10's of thousands over our contract price and in debt because of this crook. We left with our boat unfinished but it was drivable. We had to get out of there or we were going to lose our minds! I can tell you it consumed our lives. Every waking moment was spent figuring out how we were going to get out of this hell. To top it all off, he tried to extort over $25,000 from us on the day of our move. We later heard this was not the first time he had done that on the day someone was leaving his building. In that 2.5 years we saw so many victims come thru his doors. Whether your doing a repair or a new build you will be ripped off. I honestly didn't see anyone come out undamaged financially. People asked us "why don't you just take our boat out of his building". Guess what, while it's in his building he has control over it leaving. It's a civil matter and police and boat movers can not take anything out of his building/property if he says no. There has been people who had to sue him to get their boat released. This man and his family (they are all involved and know exactly what is going on) are the biggest con-artists I have ever met. The saddest thing is he has a very lucrative, money making business in his hands if he would just do business right. If he gave as much energy he uses scamming people to actually doing business right he would be a natural millionaire. I can't wait to visit him in jail someday. I have a lot to say to him! read more

do not use "precisioncraft boatworks" they are the same owners as emerald bay custom houseboats, inc. it is a scam. they took all our money and didn't complete our boat. emerald bay was sued by at 9 clients who won judgements, and then the business filed bankruptcy and opened under new name of precisioncraft boatworks......same owner and staff. be very careful if you choose them to work or build you a boat. and don't pay but for work being done at time its done!! you have been warned...... read more

The president of Emerald Bay Custom Houseboats (purchased by Precision Craft Boatworks), Mr. Bill Hill, purchased a Grady White boat from me through eBay. He made a payment with his company check which bounced next day. Upon his assurance that it is good for redeposit, it was deposited next day and it was still an insufficient fund. Then he says I can pick up a cashier's check from his office but later he texts me to say he won't be back in office that day. He then promised me to send payment via PayPal within next hour and a half, which didn't happen. Upon threat of calling local authority, he sent a cashier's check but it took more than 10 days to get funded. I have lent him my trailer for a boat pick up with an adapter which he has not returned yet. Then he leaves me negative review on my eBay account. My first negative review in more than 10 years on eBay. He has received 3 negative review as a seller (pcb4801) in last 6 weeks. He had one negative when I accepted his bid. Stay away from this guy and this company. read more

We used this business. Poor customer service. Don't pay in advance = your boat will take FOREVER to deliver. Had to fight with them to try to get finished and ended up completing the job myself. No reimbursement. Be careful with this dealer!!! read more

i was suckered in to spending alot of money on repairs to an older houseboat, was told work could be done, but when job was finished, the boat was launched and almost sank as the work to pontoons was done poorly.....i was given excuse that my pontoons were beyond repair, now why would i have agreed to extensive work on a pre-inspected boat[by emerald-bay], only to be told it was beyond repair after the fact.........RIP-OFF, BEWARE as iam not the only one to have suffered...... read more
