I do not recommend Goodhue Boat Company…read more After a couple of good days enjoying the lakes with our family we decided to take a cruise around Frye island to try to catch a famous Sebago sunset. About 3/4 of the way around the island the boat just died. I've been around boats all of my life so I took 45 minutes trying to diagnose the problem. When we couldn't figure it out we called Goodhue knowing it was after hours. We then called several emergency services for them all to go to voicemail. 911 got us tow Sebago after 3 hours to rescue us for a $700 tow. We sat through a thunderstorm, 30 mph winds and an anchor which did not hold the boat. Luckily enough I was able to swim close enough to a mooring and latch on before ending up on the rocks. The next morning I called Goodhue just before they opened and explained what happened. They sent someone out 2 hours later who determined the boat ran out of gas. I watched that gas gauge fall from 100% every single decimal to its final reading of 72.8%. This gave me every indication that the gas gauge was working correctly. I said to my family several times over 2 days that "this boat either has a gigantic gas tank or is extremely efficient". I honestly could not believe that the boat had run out of gas. Goodhue does not want to take responsibility for their faulty equipment causing a very dangerous and life threatening situation. They claim to have explained the gas gauge doesn't work, but a teenager mumbling during a safety briefing that the gas gauge might not work isn't properly notifying a customer of faulty equipment. Expectations of something so vital should be plastered on the dash or handed on a piece of paper to the renter. While this is the second time we have rented from Goodhue, the first time didn't go well either. We had to be rescued the first time after the battery died while we stopped for lunch. We were told that we needed to shut the battery disconnect off overnight, but we did not expect the battery to die with all accessories off in less than 2 hours. I have been boating my entire life. I've spent 1-2 weeks on long lake/Sebago for over 40 years. I also live a couple miles from the ocean. I've owned 4 boats myself and my family owned multiple boats as I was growing up. I've never been stranded outside of renting from Goodhue. I had good experiences renting multiple times each from Long Beach marina and kettle cove marina. Goodhue rents faulty equipment and does not take responsibility for it. I highly recommend going to a reliable marina.

They installed their spare battery plus took it back out afterwards when we got to their marina. On top of that, the guy who did the work was so friendly and explained what we needed to do when we got back to our marina. Just five star service for complete strangers. We could have been in a much crappier situation, and we are so grateful they decided to stop and help. If you're looking for a marina, I would 20/10 recommend.

Weather reports are only 10 days out, so you get totally screwed if it rains. Even if there's lightning, this company will not let you move your reservation. I could understand if you canceled or moved and they were left with an unreserved boat that could have been reserved by someone else, but boats will not rent in the rain, so they are just using the weather as a means to screw you and profit in the mean time. Use Winnie Marine instead. They cost a bit more, but they'll let you cancel your reservation on the day of if it's raining. No contest in terms of service.

I search the web for dock space and Parker Maine came up. Buy a boat and get dock space, perfect. I made an appointment and went to look at a boat. The boat they had was just right for us. A slightly larger engine would be nice but the $3000 savings was good so we went forward with the purchase. Everyone was so nice and explained everything to us. It was a great purchase experience. Within a week, they had their money and we had a boat in the water. Each time we went to use the boat someone would check on us to see how everything was going and to see if we had questions. So glad that we found Parker Marine and we can't wait for the spring so we can have our boat placed back in the water.

Everyone kept telling me they couldn't even look at it for 2 weeks and that it would most likely be costly from what I was describing. I had just about thrown in the towel when I asked and got a tip from a girl that lives in the area and works at Jo Jo's (a great local store). She spoke highly of them because her dad gets all his service there. I trailered my boat and drove it over to Lane's End. I was greeted by the service manager (think his name was Tim?) who was so much more professional than people at other marina's I had been dealing with. He looked things over quick and you could just tell that he really knew what he was talking about. He gave me some prices up front and told me how long he thought it would take. I had my boat back in the water in just 2 days (and that was only because they had to get a part for it). And they were 100% fair on cost. It is rare anymore that a business will find you in a desperate situation and not try to take advantage of you............Can't say enough about how great they were. I will recommend this place to everyone.
