He made this purchase most enjoyable. The boat is gorgeous. Jason who helped us in financing was professional, knowledgeable, and also a joy to work with. David was knowledgeable and patient as he gave us an expert tutorial. Burt was there to assist in getting our boat home and safely tucked away. He was amazing in giving us additional instruction that was very much appreciated. This team is to be praised for their efforts and all their heartfelt genuine care. We have never had such a seamless experience as this making a large purchase. They are truly a great group of gentleman and our experience with this company was unsurpassed. Thank you kindly!

When we arrived our boat was ready and we even got to enjoy some complimentary ice cream while we waited. The store is dog friendly as well, so the whole family got to hang out while we signed papers. Can't say enough good things, we will also be storing our boat here with them and I am sure the excellent customer service will continue.

I honestly wish that I could give them more than 5 stars. We had made the decision to look into…read moreselling our pontoon, but were nervous about both private selling difficulties and receiving a lower offer from a dealer. After not receiving a return call from the original dealership about a buy back, we reached out to Chatlee. They took the time to speak with us and gave us a ballpark quote that let us know it was worth traveling to their location. Once we arrived, we were immediately greeted with a quick look over followed by a 30 minute wait for a more detailed exam. We were offered the high end of what was quoted on the phone which we definitely didn't expect from a dealership. The paper signing process took less than 5 minutes and we were done. We will definitely make the drive to work with them on any future boat needs. The entire process was well above seamless. And for those reading previous reviews trying to make a decision on contacting them about buying your boat, do it. The review about your boat needing to look brand new is not the case (This had me extra nervous about a crazy low offer) We took good care of our boat, but it was no where near new and we received a very fair purchase amount.

Very disappointed with my experience with Chatlee Boat. This has been one issue after another on a…read morenew boat. The livewell pumps failed, and the radar that Chatlee installed actually fell off. When the radar was reinstalled a second time, it resulted in leaks in the T-top that were not present before. The quality of the work has been unacceptable, and the attention to detail has been lacking. To make matters worse, communication has been poor throughout the process. It often took multiple phone calls just to get a return call, and getting updates on repairs was difficult. When you spend this kind of money on a new boat, you expect quality workmanship, reliable repairs, and good customer service. Unfortunately, my experience has been the exact opposite. I would not recommend Chatlee to anyone based on my experience.

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Highly recommend. Tina Marie We purchased our pontoon from Foothills Marie of Lake Norman and could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and value in all departments. My wife and I visited several boat dealers in the Lake Norman area and settled here at Foothill Marine. We were greeted by a pleasant attentive staff and a very clean show room. My wife and I would like to thank ED in sales who took great care of us right from the start. Ed is extremely knowledgeable in explaining all of the differences of several models and layouts. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. Foothills Hills Marie has a wide selection of boats to choose from and made our experience a pleasure, no pushy sales pitches whatsoever. They delivered our pontoon in perfect order as promised. ED went over the entire pontoon prior to us heading out. We had a GPS/fishfinder installed as well as the second battery prior to pickup. The install was done professionally on both units and delivered on time. Ed did a fantastic job keeping us up-to-date on the delivery and made sure everything was going smoothly as promised. He checked in on us on us after the sale as well to make sure we are 100% satisfied and to see if we needed anything. We would also like to thank Danya in the finance department who made our purchase go very smoothly and had all of our documents in order and ready to go right on time as well. We were then greeted by Josh who thanked us for our business at foothills Marine and discussed the proper break in procedures and answered any questions or concerns we had. Josh put us on the water and made sure everything on board was working as it should. He verified the Coast Guard package that was included on board and took us out to get comfortable with our new pontoon. Foothills Marine is a class act. We couldn't be happier with The professionalism, honesty and all-around good nature working with the Marine dealer who truly enjoys what they do and do it very well. We are really enjoying our new pontoon and wouldn't hesitate to do business with the foothills marina Lake Norman in the future. Stop in and see their selections and meet their staff. They will take great care of you. Dan

Well certainly not my problem in long run. I have a head gasket blown and by only testing problem in shop it doesn't show boat being tested under true load. I would not recommend these guys to anyone under any circumstance to work on a boat. If would've fully checked and inspected would have been easy to find true problem. Yes impeller housing may have been bad but had a mechanic on the lake actually do some looking and within 5 minutes he found problem. These guys look for easy way out and charge 139$/hr for service. Found a mechanic on the lake and he's mobile and only 85$/hr. You will not see my service ever again from them or buying anything from them. Highly suggest against them find somewhere else to be your mechanic not bandaid placers
