Thank you for the heads up MAxum., BUt to be honest I have to disagree and cannot completely put every marina in the area in the same bag. When I purchased my boat last September, it was used. I shopped around and after being disappointed like you at several of the area marinas, I walked into to Thurston's. Soup to nuts hands down they treated me like I was buying a $150,000 boat not just a $8,000 used old boat. I too did my homework and they were able to answer every question truthfully and what I felt was honestly. Everyone in that place is amazing. It might have helped that the one I purchased was bought serviced and stored there since new. I have had no problems with my boat, knock on wood. Mary in Service is great, Jeff in the sales office is very honest and everyone else I speak to is customer service oriented. I go in there from time to time just to putt around or to buy something and they also come over ask how the family is doing, how the boat is running and they know which boat is mine, and they do not ever try to sell me something and are always willing to give out advice and information.
On the other side there are others in the area that I would never step foot on their property if you paid me. I am not up for bashing them today though.
