    I give this company only one star due to the fact I can't leave a lessor one. I have an electric…read moreboat rental operation where I use Go-Float Electric boats exclusively. I partnered with this company after seeing these boats at the 2013 Chicago Boat Show. I initially purchased four boats in 2013 then got a fifth one in 2014. I also sell the boats where I take a 10% commission on what I sell. The customer comes to my rental operation for a demo ride then orders one from the factory. The agreement is once a customer takes delivery of the boat then a check is sent to me. This is where the deceit and dishonesty comes in. I am directly responsible for a sale that happened in June. Customer took delivery of boat in mid-June. I still have not received payment! I also am directly responsible for five boats that were sold to another rental operation in 2015 at the Chicago Boat Show, as well as another customer due to my enthusiastic praise of the boats and the company and the positive response my customers gave me regarding my boat rentals. All of that has changed now due the lack of respect shown to me by Go-Float as a dealer/rental business. I have placed numerous calls to Steve Hendrickson whom I was told "Writes the Checks" but he has not bothered to return my calls. I have spoken to Mike Rollo who is in management there, but all I have gotten from him is answers that don't make any sense at all! The only person I have not talked to there is Bart Jones, who is busy building the boats. As a business owner I would NEVER treat the people I work with this way! The way Go-Float has treated me tells me that they couldn't care less about me! All total, I am owed $3500.00 for direct sale of one boat and six others as a result of my involvement at the 2015 Chicago Boat Show. All I am asking for is what is owed to me no more no less. Since I am, to the best of my knowledge at the time of this writing the only African American rental/dealer operation in Illinois, I have to believe that racial bias is at play here. All of the other rental/dealer operations who are not black have not had this kind of problem. I have never felt this way in my life but this situation has shown me their true colors and that is very sad and disappointing. If you are thinking about going into business with this company, don't! They do not honor their agreements with all of their dealers. I called several dealers and one of them said that Go-Float is out of business! If that is the case, then that explains what I am going through. Another said he can't get parts for modules that have burned out. I have never written a bad review of business in my life. However, this experience has compelled me to do so. Since they refuse to pay me on their own, the next logical step is to take legal action against the company and the principal players who I listed above. It is a shame that it had to come to this. Rest assured, if I owed them money they would surely come after me. Again, Go-Float Electric Boats refuses to pay me what is owed to me and Steve Hendrickson refuses to return my calls. Shameful!

    I have had my Go Float for three years now. It is Fantastic. It will run all weekend long on a…read moresingle charge. Everyone loves it, the kids up to the adults. I use it on Mille Lacs (Big Lake) and it handles the lake perfectly with the automatic bilge pump.
