The owner water tested the boat and came back with a giant black 3-4" wide by 10' long rubbery stripe down one side of the boat...obviously hit something like a dock bury etc. He said it was just exhaust marks...I've been around boating for 51 years and this was in no way an exhaust ring on one side. They had to use an industrial solvent to clean it off and ended up etching a one foot stripe on the hull of my boat...also a giant scratch, of course everything with this guy is debate. I had the boat completely cut/buff detailed just days prior with full set of pictures at every angle showing the gel coat and boat looking beat with no scratches or marks. I'll never go back to this place and hate writing this but the service and work done at GS Marine was terrible!!! Also, the boat was an absolute mess full of pine needles and covered in dirt. HORRIBLE customer service. The staff again however were very helpful and totally understanding to all the issues and very apologetic. Maybe it's time for the staff to open their own shop and turn out great products that customers are telling all their friends about ???

They serviced the out drive including new wiring for my trim, new bellows rubber, new shift cable rubber, new shift cable, new u-joint and a new gimbal bearings.

If you want your boat worked on by guys that know what they're doing, I would recommend Rodes Way. The next time I need something done on my boat that I cannot do myself I will take it to Rodes Way!!!

Every other time was a disaster with the same recurring problems I finally got tired of inland boat center bullshit I had the same problems over and over from when I bought the boat always promised it was fixed and it never was so I went onto my Copilot AI and asked for the best Marin shop between Riverside to San Diego both AI services recommended Gearhead Marine let me tell you first they are knowledgeable and meticulous. I would also add they are not cheap. They're looking for cheap. Don't take your boat there but if you're looking to get your boat fixed properly and have it like a new boat, that's the place to go again Courtney's team or fabulous and meticulous by boat never has been this good since I've owned it the last 18 months don't buy from inland boat center. Don't take your boat there for Service go to Gearhead Marine. You'll be a lot better off in the long run and you'll feel very very good about what you had done. I don't mind paying if it's done correctly that's the case that Gearhead Marine give them five stars or 10 if you could.

I came in a bit late in the season, but they made me a service appointment working about 2 weeks and performed a 100 hour service and a replacement of plugs and cap for me. Prices were fair and the work was done in about 3 days. I get email ads from them monthly and have noticed they are now also doing demo days (much like Greenhouse did). I highly recommend people who are boat owners or even pre-owners to take a look at Tillys or even go out for a demo day. Oh by the way, this is the divorce store for me. If I bought the boat I want now, I would be seeing my wife kick me to the curb with my new boat. Best of luck to you.

Michelle in the front office was always great to work with along with the rest of the mechanics who were just as knowledgeable and personable.

Out of respect for Johnny (the scheduler) who is a stand up guy I'm being clear that this message…read moreis for the owner of Prime Marine and people who would consider this shop. I will never go back to prime marine. Johnny had actually requested I use prime marine and handed me his business cards in the church parking lot that we attend together. Johnny was a nice guy and I had recently bought a (new to me)27 hallett (from another church member). I originally had the hallett serviced in 2018 at Rodesway Boats in upland, CA and they were awesome!(Did I mention this is my family's 6th boat and parents 60th year going to the lake, my 35th) So back to the point I brought my boat to prime marine 2-7-19 long before river season starts as I enjoy planning and having my equipment ready for the upcoming season, I figured I'd give johnnys guy a chance over at prime marine. They suggested a full service since it was my first time there and they serviced the boat, I got the typical 3-4 phone calls in two days recommending up sales and delivering bad news until the total reached 1750 dollars "ouch" I happily paid and was glad to bring business to another church member. Please see all invoices below for actual repairs and charges from 2-7-19 and 6-11-19. One of the recommended repairs was a shifting cable assembly as I was told Mine was worn and sticky so I agreed it needed to be changed. I left for the river a few months later in April to take my kids for our first river trip over spring break (my trailer brakes were locking up and I had to remove two calipers on the 60fwy at night, thought you checked the axles and adjusted brakes?? Guess not) once we arrived at the lake I launched and put about one hour on the motor and drive and it seemed to be functional , however when I slowed to approach the marina it was stuck in forward gear. How could this be happening to us when I was so diligent about boat service. I called prime marine from the water (Johnny)and was told to bring the boat back for a look , I would normally leave it in AZ for the season and here I am towing home on a Monday in April with 2/4 trailer brakes functioning. After several phone calls about bringing the boat in and not really feeling like a priority I was able to have my father bring it in today nearly 2 months after the outdrive stuck in forward. I get a call from the owner 30 minutes after drop off at 9:00am stating my shift linkage was broken and the repairs would be nearly 600 dollars, wwwhhhaaattttt? So here's my beef , I have the money and the time and I took my boat to someone who seemed to be trustworthy, you clearly state on your receipts from 2-7-19 that you inspected all shifting mechanisms and repaired shifting cable assembly!!! Don't call me today and explain that the shift linkage isn't part of the shift assembly and you "the professional" didn't recommend changing this earlier in the season when the boat was at your shop and the outdrive was off. You even had the audacity to tell me that this part typically fails because the old version isn't as strong as the new version. This is no way to conduct business and the paperwork tells your story. (You take 0 responsibility for this situation and quite frankly you ripped me off) I'll gladly sacrifice the nearly 2400 dollars on a crap job to help someone else from having their trip cut short , time, and money wasted. From here on out my money is at Rodesway Boats or Concept Marine , thanks but no thanks Prime Marine for wasting my time and money. You know how to get ahold of me if you re-think the situation. Johnny if you read this , your a really nice guy but this isn't the service I expected from you or your boss! I'm completely disappointed

I bought my boat from Inland Boat Center in March 2024 through Taylor and Mr. Hellman. At the time…read moreof sale, the experience was excellent--very responsive, very friendly, and full of assurances that made me feel confident doing business there. I purchased a 2021 Manitou Aurora for $32,000, which I still own and have only put about 30 hours on. A major part of that conversation was a trailer they agreed to sell me for $2,800 out the door. I was told it only needed brakes and that I would get a call when it was ready. I followed up several times and kept hearing delays, including that the wrong brakes had been installed and they needed more time. Eventually the communication stopped completely. Since then, no one has followed through, no one has updated me, and now the original agreement is treated as if it never happened. Instead, the only option presented is a new trailer for around $7,000. I also recently asked what they would offer if they bought the boat back. After paying $32,000 and barely using it, I was offered $16,000. Even getting that answer took repeated effort because emails and calls were ignored until I physically walked into the showroom. Service has been equally disappointing. When I bought the boat, I was specifically told that because I am a Canyon Lake customer they would arrange pickup and delivery for service. When I called recently, I was told there is now a $200 transportation charge and that I would need to take it up with Taylor. I texted Taylor directly again and still received no response. I was also quoted around $1,000 for a basic oil change and impeller replacement, while other boat service centers quoted substantially less for the same work. I have been in sales for over 20 years, and one thing I understand clearly is that customer service after the sale matters more than the sale itself. What stands out most here is how dramatically the customer experience changed once the transaction was complete. Before the purchase, communication was immediate. After the purchase, promises became difficult to verify, follow-up became almost nonexistent, and basic customer service became a struggle. For anyone considering buying here: document everything, get every commitment in writing, and do not rely on verbal promises alone. Based on how this has been handled, I would not purchase from Inland Boat Center again, and I would not recommend that friends, family, or anyone I know buy or service a boat there.
