I told Lance I would pay him to look it over and give me his opinion on whether it was going to be worth the money to get it running and keep it running. After a few days, he told us exactly what it needed, exactly how much it cost and even let us store it on his lot for a couple of months. The trailer blew out a new tire on the way to taking it in and I thought it might be the tires that were on it and asked him to replace them. He looked at it and said one of the springs on the trailer was broke and he replaced all four of them as well as the one tire. I can't say enough about this business. If you have a classic boat, or any boat that needs repairs, this is the place to bring it. I am so glad another Boat Dealership recommended him.

I called for an estimate and the work and something I added came in lower than the original estimate. The guys are helpful. I came in at closing time and they insisted on cashing me out, on a Friday evening, beyond closing time. They already had the lights out. It's a small store but there are advantages to a small. Size doesn't matter? They'll get my repeat business.

He was knowledgeable and very friendly and gave this new boat owner some piece of mind and several tips and tricks which were greatly appreciated.

So the end of 2020 I bought a 2021 Skeeter FXR20 Apex. Top of the line in the Skeeter product line…read moreat the time. Within months the top cap cracked and was sent off to Skeeter. Upon gettting it back within two trips top cap cracked again. Sent it back to Skeeter they sent it back with burnt carpet, everything all scratched up and horrible paint job on boat. To add there was paint sprayed onto boat trailer. Sent it back again my customer service representative and his suppposive customer service manager promised it would be abosolutely perfect when I get it back. NOpe all scratched up in all work areas, brackets look managled, paint correction is horrible, and after multiple trips to Kilgore Tx they cant get the paint off the trailer. So I am now 17 months just trying to get a product I paid for without a bunch of defects and looking like a pile of crap. I just cant handle sending it back to get it corrected when now I have strap marks in rub rails, and in paint from loading and unloading improperly. how much can one guy take. I spoke with rep and ask him to send me a new graph mount and a second solix graph and I will forget all about the scratches that Skeeter caused working on it. I asked for different customer service rep and a higher manager and per Robert the Customer Service Manager there is noone higher than him to help make a customer happy. So Im personally at my last straw and about to snap. So I guess legal action against Manufacture and Selling Dealer will have to be my next step to get what I paid for and to get boat to customer satisfaction. Since what I have asked for to correct there mistakes would cost them less then shipping it back to Kilgore TX. Im sure the court cost and attorney fees will surpase the cost of such little demands for major inconviences.
