Drove down 3 hours from Chicago. This dealer came highly recommended…read more because they were supposed to do quality work. Also they take trade-ins on Evenrude E-tech motors if the pass the quality inspection test. My Engine did not pass their quality inspection for them to resell. So, as was explained to me, I received less for the trade in. Understandable. I had a brand new 2026 Yamaha F90 installed on my 18' Lund aluminum fishing boat. luckily, I went to lake Shelbyville for an overnight stay to try it out and put some break in hours on the motor. I found they installed the throttle directly in the path of the throttle for my kicker motor, so I was unable to advance the kicker throttle all they way. Also my electronics did not work. Luckily I stayed the night. I brought it back, they moved my kicker throttle and hooked my electronics back up. I then went home. Put more break in hours on the motor. I noted at full throttle, My boat would no go faster than 26 MPH and get no more than 5100 RPM with a 4 blade prop. Went to a prop dealer and switched to a 3 blade with not change except up to 5200 RPM. I then took it to a certified Yamaha dealer/mechanic near Chicago and he found the cable was installed incorrectly and I was only getting 25% of my throttle. Everything works fine now. That cost me in excess of $800. Between Gas (2 trips, 3 hours each way) , Lodging and repairs. I wish I would have just bought from a dealer near Chicago. Maybe everyone else has had luck with this dealer. But not be. As information. The motor I traded in that did not pass the test for resale was a 150 H.P Evenrude E-tech Model :E150DPLSUF Serial:05159081

Couldn't see it at all. Accidents happen. They send someone to pull us out. He got stuck as well because he couldn't see it either. After towing us in, we were told another pontoon was stuck in the same spot. We were told it "happens all the time". When the last called to discuss the deposit. We were told they "need to make a rule to not go past Cove 5". So if this is already an issue, why is there no mention of it and why wasn't it marked at all? Ok so what. Keep the deposit for something that happens all the time. Sounds like a money trap to me. The staff used to be friendly and perky. Not so much anymore. They are all very monotone and act like they are miserable to be there. Out of the SEVERAL times I have been to this Marina ( also all of the people I've sent there) I have NO desire to go back. I get that things happen but if something is a known issue and still collecting deposits from people. That's down right dirty. Thank goodness the bank is on the ball and fixing the MARINA'S mistake. I hope people keep an eye on their accounts so that this doesn't happen to them.

The only bad thing I would say about this campground is that some people stay up late but they are very kind and dont make very much nose but on rare occasions they do make some noise.

Rich is very knowledgable about fishing and boating on Lake Shelbyville. Rich and Mary are also quick with recommendations on local restaurants.
