If you keep a boat at the marina or spend a lot of time on the water, it's a convenient stop and the staff is always helpful. For anyone mooring a boat here, the marina is well maintained and makes getting on and off the lake easy. Several boaters I've talked to have had positive experiences with the docks and marina services, and it's a great home base for weekends on the water. One tip: get to the Edison parking area early on busy days because it fills up fast, often by 10:00 AM. Such a fun lake only about an hour from Fresno. Love coming here to fish, relax, and spend the day on the water.

We rented a pontoon boat and had a very disappointing experience. The first employee who gave us…read morethe instructions was unprofessional and did not properly explain how to operate the boat. We were never told that the motor had an issue with lowering, which left us stranded trying to figure it out ourselves. At approximately 1:08 p.m. on July 11, we had to call for assistance because we couldn't lower the motor. It wasn't until we called that someone finally explained how to lower it. We also requested a different boat, but were told that this was "the best out of their broken boats" and that it was all they had available. That information should have been disclosed before we rented the boat. We requested a refund due to receiving a boat with known issues, but were told the manager was unavailable and no one could help us. Renting out equipment with known problems without informing customers, then refusing to resolve the issue, is unacceptable. We expected a safe, fully functional boat and honest communication, but received neither.

Decided on our first boat purchase and came to Pacific Marine Center. When we arrived Jason greeted…read moreus, offered us waters and asked how he can help us. We told him that we were interested in looking at a Yamaha Boat. He said it was in the other showroom and we took the club car down the street to their extended property. Didn't realize how many boats they had in stock. When it came to making the deal he was not pushy, got us extra discounts within reason and spoke to Jack (the owner) to see what else they can do to sweeten the deal. Jack was pleasant, probably stressed with how busy they were that day, but still took the time to work with us to get the price right for our purchase. When we came back the next week to pick up the boat they were very good in going over the entire boat and features as well as inspecting every angle. They include basic safety gear 4 life jackets and a throwable that you can exchange for credit if you already have gear. The workers hooked up the boat and trailer to our hitch and we were on our way. It gets busy here especially around 10-11am with people getting service for their boats. A lot of drop offs and pick ups. Definitely plan on coming early when they open. Customers come in stressed but Jason, Jack and staff stay cool and calm to help everyone with their needs. Thanks Pacific Marine Center for the great experience!

You CAN'T trust Pacific Marine! Bait and switch at its…read morefinest!! PLEASE USE CAUTION! We put a $1,000 deposit on a boat while we went through the financing process and having a hard hit on our credit. We were in contact with them DAILY. We bought a year of insurance as the last act before giving the down payment and signing documents. We got a call that night stating they sold the boat from under us without even a phone call. They then told us the $1,000 was only good for 5 days (first time hearing that!) It was actually the 3rd business day as we had a holiday weekend. If this is how dishonest they are selling it, imagine what else they may be dishonest about behind the scenes! Jack's way to make things right was to offer more expensive boats.. The only boats the owner, Jack offered added more than $10k to the original price. Jack knew we were approved, They could care less we dinged our credit and most likely figured since we were approved; we could be easily forced into a more expensive boat! Jack "offered" two other boats that were way more money! ((Their only goal)) You've been warned.

I purchased a Manitou Tritoon from Mark in 2017. I shopped…read morearound for quite a while looking at other brands and models. Since the boat I liked was a lot of money, I had lots of questions and did not want to regret my purchase. Mark spent lots of time on the phone with me answering questions before I finally drove down, 2 hours, to buy the boat. I've been extremely happy with the boat and it drives like a Porsche on water, especially for a 27' pontoon boat. I've actually had it up to 55 mph! I get a lot of attention whether towing it in town or on the water. It's just a very nice boat. We did have a cavitation issue whenever cornering. The boat kept up high RPMs but lost substantial speed in a sharp turn. After talking to Mark a few times, we decided to drop the motor an inch. I brought the boat down and Mark's mechanics lowered the motor. Got the boat back in the water and problem fixed. Last week: We keep our boat in covered storage during the off season and this last time I dropped it off, I'd forgotten to turn battery switch off. The house battery drained and I didn't catch this. I had my buddy drop me in the water and although the motor was running I didn't catch that I didn't have any gauges or power steering. With no steering, I had to get towed back. I didn't understand the problem at the time and although I knew it had to be electrical, I checked the fuses and they were all good. I called in to Semper and talked to Jason. This guy was very willing to help and told me he'd look into it. I figured I wouldn't here back for a few days since it was Saturday and also figured I wouldn't be on the lake this weekend, but I was wrong. An hour later I got a phone call from Jason. He recommended putting a jumper line between the cranking battery and the house battery. That was it!! Back on the water. Jason saved my weekend. He even called later in the day to see how things were going. I couldn't thank him enough. One last note: I've driven other pontoon brands and they just don't drive like a Manitou. You can just tell the quality between other boats and a Manitou. I paid $20k more for all the bells and whistles for a similar boat of a different brand and again, I'm really happy with my decision.

When he asked them about his issue they said "just because we are an authorized dealer, doesn't mean we know anything about it." When he asked about a warranty, they said they didn't know Suzuki had a warranty and that they didn't even know how to make a claim. They said they would charge $175 to look at it.

1 Star -- I would not recommend this shop…read more I found Mike at Clovis Boat & Trailer Repair through a recommendation in a Facebook boating group. Unfortunately, what started as a relatively simple starter replacement turned into three separate trips and more than $3,000 out of pocket, and my boat still wasn't running correctly when I finally took it somewhere else. My experience was as follows: 1. First visit: I brought the boat in for a starter replacement and oil change. I also asked about rebuilding/cleaning the carburetor because the boat wasn't idling properly. I was told they don't rebuild or clean carburetors. 2. Second visit: I brought it back for a new impeller and spark plugs, hoping the plugs might help with the idling issue. During this visit, the starter bolts were also broken. I was told the rear bracket supporting the starter "didn't need" to be there, so the bracket was removed. 3. Third visit: The boat overheated after the impeller replacement. I was later told that one of the mechanics had misaligned the belts. I needed a new manifold and an upper bellow, along with other parts. Mike told me, "We check the boats before they leave, and we may have let yours go before starting and testing." I appreciated that he acknowledged the possibility, but I was still left paying out of pocket for repairs resulting from the situation. Then the starter bolt broke again. Mike replaced the bolt, but when I got the boat home, I discovered that the distributor wiring harness was completely unplugged. I sent Mike a picture showing the disconnected harness. His response was essentially dismissive, and I didn't feel like there was much concern about the fact that the boat had apparently been returned to me without even being properly tested. I took the boat to the lake, and it wouldn't start. At that point, I took it to another mechanic. The difference was immediate. The new mechanic opened the engine bay and immediately identified several issues: -The starter was missing the rear support bracket, which he said was allowing excessive torque and contributing to the starter bolts breaking. -The timing was too far advanced. -Hoses from the carburetor were in the wrong location for breathing -The carburetor did not need to be rebuilt; it simply needed to be cleaned. -Most importantly, the engine had been overheated previously and the cylinder head had a crack that had not been identified. After the new mechanic addressed the issues, the boat idled perfectly and I have not had the recurring starter bolt problem. My biggest issue isn't that a repair shop can make a mistake. Mistakes happen. My issue is the apparent lack of quality control, final testing, and oversight of the work being performed. I was told the boat was being checked, yet I received it back with an unplugged distributor, recurring starter problems, timing issues, and ultimately a cracked head from the overheating incident from poor quality checks. Mike himself is a personable guy, and I have nothing against him personally. However, based on my experience, I don't feel comfortable recommending the shop. I also got the impression that less experienced workers were being allowed to work on my boat without adequate supervision. Whether that was his son or another employee, I can't say for certain, so I'm not going to make that claim as a fact. What I can say is that the quality of the work I received was not acceptable, especially considering the amount of money I spent. If you're considering using Clovis Boat & Trailer Repair, I strongly recommend getting a second opinion and making sure the boat is actually started, tested, and thoroughly inspected before accepting it back. For me, the additional expense, repeated trips, downtime, and ultimately having another mechanic diagnose and correct the problems made this a very frustrating and expensive experience.
