HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE with GRANDER MARINE!! We wanted to buy a Blackfin center console boat that they had listed online, and were told we could put down a $500 deposit to hold it since it was a Saturday (05/02/26). Instead, we offered a $1,000 deposit, which we later increased to $2,000, to show our commitment. On Tuesday (05/05/26), we checked in with the financial manager and were assured that the boat was still available and everything was fine, especially since we still had 72 hours left on the signed agreement. The next day, GRANDER MARINE was notified that we planned to finalize the purchase and pick up our new boat. To our shock and disappointment, we were told the boat had been sold the day before -- Tuesday!! Fast forward-- the salesman, who did nothing wrong, was fired. The CEO of GRANDER MARINE called and admitted that we had been wronged. He then promised to make it right by offering us a better deal on another comparable boat to a Blackfin. As of today (05/22/26), communication has ceased, and we still do not have a boat. Bottom line: it's about INTEGRITY, and GRANDER MARINE clearly lacks this trait! While many people may have positive stories, this one event should speak volumes about their business ethics -- and, unfortunately, about the kind of human beings they are. read more
