From the owner: 70 Years Of Experience In Marine Industry CC Marine…read more(Charlies Custom Marine) Has over 70 years of combined Experience in the marine industry. Experience that ranges from Boat Manufacturing, Boat restoration, boat repair, structural fiberglass and Gelcoat reconditioning to full on paint jobs. I, Charlie Barthelmes, Owner and operator, have been in the Marine industry for over 24 years. It started back in 1995 for me at Spectre Power boats in Clearwater FL sweeping the floors. Then learning every job in the plant the next 5 years. By 2003 becoming plant manager at the age of 27. Then in 2007 moved to Anderson SC to run Famous Craft Boats. The industry hit bad times and that combined with the owner wanting to pursue new ventures Famous Craft closed in 2010. I then started Charlies Custom Marine in Pendleton SC. Five years ago purchasing a piece of property with two buildings on it and shortening the name to CC Marine.

I purchased my first Chaparral boat from them in2011. Always had great service, and they were…read moreextremely attentive to my needs and inquiries... Had to sell it due to a divorce... Once ready to get another boat, I tried a Yamaha jet boat from Marine Max in Greenville. They were the worst organization from top to bottom. They were the worst company I have ever experienced. I couldn't talk to a live person, and it took a few days to get a response to a question. I honestly don't know how those idiots are still in business. Once they had my money they didn't care jack about me as a customer... I saw the error of my ways... Traded the Yamaha in for another Chaparral with Strickland. This was now my 2nd boat with Strickland... They were so attentive it blew my mind... They even made a trip or two out to my dock to service the boat, and also went way above and beyond when I had an issue and needed a tow... These guys are absolutely fantastic!... This week I traded my 23' SSI for a new 247 SSX, and again, the response from them was incredible... This is now my 3rd boat purchased from Strickland... I will never go anywhere else for service. Richard, the salesman has been fantastic 2 times over, now. I've dealt with him on several occasions, and he is attentive, understanding, and very helpful when looking for what you desire from a boat... Chris, the top dog is very understanding and extremely helpful. He gets the big picture and will work things to a proper resolution... Brandon, I call him the wizard, he has answered every question I have wether small or large. He has been extremely helpful over the years, and I could not ask for more from his response... He actually helped tow my boat into the launch when I had an issue last season... Mrs Elizabeth takes care of the documents and fine print, and she is a pleasure to work with, explains all the details. She has answered every question I've had... The phone is always answered when you call, and you will always get your info that is asked for... I cannot speak more highly about this location. I could not ask for anything else from these folks... I've dealt with them from 2011 until present, and there is nobody I would ever go to for my marine/boating needs then these guys... They have been extremely understanding, very attentive, and absolutely easy to work with. They are by far the best in this area. If you are new to the area, I highly recommend Strickland Marine on Hwy 24 in Anderson... I have dealt with boat dealers/service locations for over 40 years ranging from Pennsylvania to Arizona and now to South Carolina... These folks are by far the best I have ever dealt with on every level. You can not go wrong by going to Strickland Marine... But you could go wrong by going somewhere else... Don't make that mistake... Just go to Strickland Marine for any of your boating needs.

I take it back and 7 weeks later they say it is fixed. picked it up on a Thursday and took it out Friday and it is doing the same thing so I take it back Monday. I tell the man I feel like I wasted money from the last time I brought it in for the same thing. I was told the first time they would hook it to the machine and it will let them know what to fix. apparently it didn't. now it's looking like 3 weeks because I have to wait on one tech to come back from vacation to get my boat fixed. do you not have other techs?

They live the lifestyle. If you don'tknow what they means, you shold stop by and find out. Their service shop has been a breeze to deal with also. Highly skilledand certified mechanics... You don't want anyone else working on your boat. They also have Wake boards, Wakesurf boards, skis, vests, ropes, etc. They are new and are building up their inventory, so I expect more is to come. At somepoint they will be taking over all the space at their current location which will allow for more inventory. They are owned by Watersports Central in Atlanta which is a premier dealership with huge experience. They are also great folks. The Seneca location has the major resource to back them up.

My wife hadn't had a lot of boating experience and this was our first boat so it was a real gamble to commit this much money but we took the plunge and had a bunch of 'newbie' issues trailering, at the launch, docking, pulling out of winter storage, etc. and she has been ready to sell it several times but every time I've called the shop Tommy (or occasionally another shop person) has been INCREDIBLY patient and helpful and there have been a few little things that they have fixed, corrected, or helped us figure out without any judgement or questions. I would DEFINITELY encourage anyone to purchase a boat from them!
