This past Saturday six friends and I rented a ski boat from Duncan Bridge Marina on Lewis Smith Lake to participate in a Poker Run. After filling the boat up with $75 worth of fuel we headed out for a day on Smith Lake only to discover the blower on the boat didn't work, then the trim didn't work. After a quick stop at our Poker Run stop a couple of miles away the boat failed to start again. A couple of good hearted marina mechanics came by to help, but decided it was a dead battery and poorly wired battery cables. They advised us to call the marina we rented from to get another boat. Phone calls were made to Duncan Creek Marina. After waiting over an 11/2 hours we finally were put on a pontoon boat and told it had $90 worth of fuel in it. Needless to say the amount of fuel promised was apparently not there. We ran out of gas approximately 5 of miles down the lake. After another nearly 2 hours of waiting for Duncan Bridge Marina to deliver fuel they only delivered enough for us to get to another marina to get fuel for the trip back - another $50+. The odd thing was that according to Duncan Bridge Marina we used $90 worth of fuel going one way and following the same route back had fuel left with a $50 purchase. When we finally got back to Duncan Bridge Marina, Don, the manager we were dealing with was not there and was argumentative when contacted on the phone denying any responsibility. He actually said he sent someone out to help us both times when we were stranded on the lake, like he had another choice if he wanted his boat back. He refused to compensate us in any way for our wasted day due to his poor quality boats and lies about the amount of fuel he put in our replacement boat. I cannot recommend Duncan Creek Marina in any situation due to their inability to use quality equipment and meet the needs of their customers with honest service. read more
