Outstanding dealership.
I took my boat to Fishtale Boats in…read moreFt. Myers FL for a non start issue. They were rude, dismissive, and condescending, giving me a written estimate for over $10,000 in parts and thousands in labor. They told me the engine (with only 107 hours on it was not worth fixing and pushed me to just replace it for over $20,000. Dejected, on my way home, I stopped into Pier 41 Marine, also in Ft. Myers. The general manager Mike Lueneburg, came out, gave me a hearty, friendly handshake and listened to my story. He could not have been more pleasant. He immediately did a compression check on the 200 Yamaha and told me that he felt it was not nearly as bad as Fishtale said. He treated me with respect, and dignity. As a retired high school guidance counselor with 37 years of experience, I am a good judge of character. Mike Lueneburg has honesty, character, and integrity in spades. If you are looking for a great deal on a beautiful pontoon boat, or if you need service on your existing boat, you cannot do better than Pier 41 Marine in Ft. Myers. In addition to being the general manager, Mike is also a highly competent marine tech. He got my Yamaha up and running quickly and efficiently for a fraction of the cost that Fishtale quoted. He also determined that the trim motor which Fishtale told me was leaking, was in fact not leaking. What a difference between the 2 dealerships. If you check Pier 41 reviews, you will find glowing reviews with all 5 star ratings. If I could give Mike Lueneburg and Pier 41 Marine higher than 5 stars, I would. THEY DESERVE IT. If you want an excellent dealership, that will treat you with respect, you can not do better than Pier 41 Marine. However if you like getting ripped off, and
rude, condescending, pushy obnoxious people who will stress you until you blood pressure is off the charts, then Fishtale Boats is the place you want.
