First of all you can hardly get a hold of Bobby or Steve. They were to remove waterline sticker and…read more bottom paint my boat, which they did. However I guess no one has ever told them you gotta remove the sticker residue as well..... kind of a no brainer. But the real reason I wouldn't ever recommend them is bc they but a big gouge in my cowling. The engine can NEVER make contact with the transom. But if you set something on the transom, then raise the engine for bottom paint then you can absolutely damage the cowling. Bobby claims to have watched a weeks worth of CCTV footage in two days. BS. they broke it. I have sent them pictures before I dropped it off and there was no damage.

Sunrise, Legendary, and Adventure Marines(the big boys) were happy to see me walk in but their attitudes changed when I told them I had a jonboat. They didn't shun me, but it was obvious they didn't care to waste their time with me. At Auer, even the little guy is welcomed and made to feel important, AND you can get your big boats, motors, and trailers there, just like anyplace else. I got my little trailer, exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price. Auer has been on my list of businesses that I would recommend everyday, since I bought my first trailer from them 30 years ago. And that's a very short list! Auer Marine is a class act!

After dealing w/a failed survey on a used boat in Orange Beach & lots of online exhausting…read moresearching, I happened to stop in at Captain's Choice off of Eglin Parkway for a little look. Mitch (who, I later found out was the owner) was super nice showing me all the different boats & features of each. Now, it has been my past experience that because I'm a female the guys usually don't take time to listen or show me much, well this wasn't the case at all with him!! He was a great listener & within 1 hour I left knowing I liked 2 boats on his lot & couldn't wait to bring my husband back to show him what I had found so he could pick which 1 he liked. Next day, same thing....Mitch was awesome & very good about going through all the details AGAIN:) on both boats so we could compare. It didn't take us long to decide & made an offer that day. Sea trail was set up promptly.....No "week+" delay like the others:( !!!! The purchase went super smooth (easier than financing a car) & stress free!!!! 3 work days & it was all done!!

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Diagnosed my merc engine problem over the phone and told me how to…read morefix it. This was after we left another merc dealer who "fixed" another issue and said he couldn't figure out what was now going wrong (turned out to be an unsecured throttle cable in the engine - which they caused). We never used Panhandle before, but it will definitely be our 'go to' place for merc engine repair. We personally went to the shop to meet Scott to say thanks.

My initial complaint was that the boat would come up on plane normally, full throttle, but in a…read morevery short time would lose rpm and at times shut off. They had the boat for 2 months. The initial diagnosis was a failed high pressure fuel pump. That was replaced, I questioned them on this because the pump had enough power to give me my normal rpm to get on plane. They told me that pressure was too low and was leaking fuel back into VST tank. Fair enough. They also diagnosed that the throttle centering sensor was also bad. That was replaced. The third problem found was that the thermostat was stuck wide open. That was fixed and needed to be fixed. I authorized all of those repairs. The last information I received was that the primer bulb was collapsing. Hummm, could have had some impact on an engine starving of fuel. I called for an update within a few days and the boat was ready. The bill totaled $1934 before taxes and credit card fees, I authorized all of it. I received the boat back on 3 Oct, 2022. Then next day I changed the oil. I noticed that the primer bulb had been replaced, I checked the bill and found no mention of it and they did not tell me when I picked my boat up. Might that have been the initial problem? May well have been. I don't think they are dishonest, just not equipped to diagnose my Yamaha outboard. On last thought, communication from them is next to zero. This has not been a good experience for me and I don't think I will use them again!

This was a fantastic experience. I was taking my friend's kids out for the weekend and decided to…read moretake them out on a boat to go fishing. I didn't plan ahead, which was a mistake because everyone was booked. I ended up calling up Anchor and I was lucky to find that they had one boat left because of a cancellation so I hurried out to Fort Walton Beach to go pick it up. Sign in was really easy and after hearing that we were complete novices when it came to fishing, Hank went out of his way to hook us up with some live bait. It was a ton of fun and Anchor made things really, really easy. I admittedly prefer the waters around Destin, but you know...the next time I get a boat, I might get one here anyway.

I was out 20 miles and my boat had water coming in with the live well. When I pulled the pump out the wires were twisted together and wrapped in painters tape. This man was storing my boat. He soaked paper towels in bleach and put it on my seats to take off the mold. When I found out I was upset. A year later the seats were shredded. He was doing this with other boats at the boat yard. This man also rented out my boat while I was out of town. He told the State's Atty's office I told him he could do it because we were dating. (Yes...we did date) I did not give him permission to rent my boat...my insurance policy excluded rental even though it is a commercial policy (I run fishing charters and am a boat captain) Check your hours and don't let him have the keys!! Don't do any repairs unless he can show you his credentials that he is certified mechanic!!!
