However they took our name and cc info and said that they would not charge until the day of . Also, we were told that they have an abundance of jet ski's so we didn't have to reserve for that . Fast forward to the Friday prior to our arrival we were told that they were a boat down and call in the morning to see if it would be fixed and available. Called Saturday morning and was told no boat for us ..sorry . My response was why does it matter , we have reservations so we should have 1st dibs on all Of the boats they have available . They said that the boats were given to those who paid in advance . Major lesson for us planning however that should have been said during the time of the reservation . Or making their policy clear !!! We were told , we don't accept payment until the day of !! So I guess locals have an advantage with in Person bookings or their system is not up to date to take payments over the phone. Who knows but they were horrible. However, after all this happened we asked well if the boat is not available , do You have any jet skis ? They said they were all reserved !!! But over the phone during the initial reservations we were told that they have an abundance of jet skis and they do not do any reservations on those .

I do not normally write reviews, but these guys deserve public acknowledgement of their great work…read more I bought a Wakesetter surf boat from Singleton Marine (formerly Boats With Gusto) at Lake Oconee in 2013. Since then, I have bought 2 jet skis and a fishing kayak from them. I am not easily impressed, but they have consistently performed at excellent levels. I know they are very competitive on price, but even more importantly, they stay committed after the sale. From initial training to properly use the equipment to helping when there is a problem, the service team's expertise and responsiveness has always met the same standards as the original sales people. Most recently, my boat had a problem on a Saturday evening. It would not crank. They are closed Sunday and Monday. I called them first thing Tuesday as I have a large group of guests coming the following Friday. They could not promise a fix but they committed to trying to work me in, diagnose the problem and hopefully fix it. When I got to the lake Thursday, the boat was fixed and running. Obviously if it had been a major problem, I might have not been able to have the boat running, but the point is they worked me in, came to my home and resolved the issue in a couple of days in spite of the fact that I did not have a previous appointment. Most people don't offer that kind of service. I have been and remain a very loyal customer. I recommend these folks. Price matters, but again they are very competitive. But when you spend a lot of money on a boat, follow up service may matter more. There is nothing worse than an idle boat on a summer weekend with no idea of when it might get fixed. I have never had that problem since buying from these guys. Seven years after selling me the boat, they are still there for me. Outstanding!

When I arrived the service advisor wanted to check with the shop foreman to see if they would even consider working on it because of it's age (2008 model). He agreed and assured me they "specialized in Volvo". After a few days I received a text letting me know the estimate for diagnosing it would be $655.00. I called to speak to service advisor to understand why just diagnosing was so high. I asked what their hourly rate is and he told me they quote everything by the job and he would not budge on the price. Reluctantly, I let them proceed. After about a week, they texted with a repair estimate of $18K. I called to discuss again and the service advisor couldn't answer any of my questions so he sent me to the shop foreman again. He explained that a gear sheared a tooth in the upper unit and there is also metal shavings in the lower unit so they need to replace both. I asked about repairing vs replacing and he said they don't do that. We discussed multiple options of used units and sending out for a rebuild but he wasn't interested in any of those. Apparently, they only "specialize in Volvo" if its simple maintenance or easy parts replacement - actual mechanic work, not so much. The shop foreman was also a little rude and condescending. I was stuck with a $755 bill for diagnosis and shop supplies for a repair they weren't qualified/willing to complete. Never again... **Update** The Operations Manager saw this review and called me to discuss. He offered to refund my money BUT ONLY IF I removed this review. I guess customer satisfaction only matters to them when it's beneficial to them.

I get emotional when I think about Lake Oconee for many reasons. Firstly, it was the site of my…read morefirst fishing trip with my two youngest sons, but also because of memories from my past. PERSONAL STORY You see, when I was 9 years old my dad took me on a fishing trip. It was my 1st fishing trip ever and it didn't go very well. I caught most all the fish and although he never said, it seemed to upset him and he spent the remainder of the trip intoxicated. I made a promise to myself that someday when I had a son I would take him fishing and give him a better experience. My father gave us a great life, but occasionally alcohol got the better of him. I was 30 years old when he died. My sisters and mother were too overwhelmed with grief to get up & speak at his funeral, so the delivery of his eulogy fell into my hands. Forced into overcoming my resentment for his years of drinking (and my years of embarrassment), it was only then that I realized alcohol was the one flaw in a genuinely likable and hard working guy that got along with everyone. To him providing a home, groceries, education and life's necessities was being more of a father than HE ever had... and I wept. I still weep to this day with sorrow over my young and foolish attitude. I know now the pressures of living up to not only others expectations, but your own as well (especially when you don't feel capable and sure of yourself). I often think about how he must have felt as a young father doing the best he could and not have his only son appreciate him. I never gave much thought to it before and unfortunately for me my appreciation came too late. I couldn't hug him or tell him I'm sorry for not valuing him. So instead I've try to honor him by being the best father I know how to be. THE EXPERIENCE I have a good friend whom owns a wonderful property on Lake Oconee with lots of lake frontage. He gave me a set of keys to go spend time at his cabin anytime we want and one weekend we decided to make use of his generous offer. It was our first family fishing trip and we caught a total of 6 catfish over three days of fishing. Pretty pathetic huh? LOL The highlight of the trip came on our last day at the lake house. After spending a day on the lake only having caught a few small fish, my son was determined to hook a 'big' fish all by himself. He stayed on the dock for over two hours patiently waiting for a nibble. We were sitting on the porch of the cabin when all of the sudden I hear "DAD, DAD!" As he walks uphill from the lake with a plastic container, he sets the container down and grabs his fishing rod (still attached to the fish). I could tell it was a significant sized catfish by the bend in the rod as he lifted. He was so proud to have caught the biggest fish and we celebrated by skinning all the fish and cooking them for dinner. We finished the evening under the stars eating ice cream (even though it was a little too cold outside). That was 4 years ago and still one of the best weekends ever. We've also spent summer days here BBQing and just enjoying the lake with our friends. Most of my pics are from one of the residential coves where the water is a little more murky and shallow. FINAL THOUGHTS Lake Oconee was created in 1979 when Georgia Power Company built Wallace Dam in Greene County, Georgia. It is a wonderful place to unwind and disconnect from the busy-ness of life. There are excellent opportunities for boating, fishing, camping, antiquing, dining, shopping and historic sight-seeing all around the lake. In addition you can go geocaching, rent lake charters, tubing, jet skiing, kayaking and attend festivals. I will forever be grateful for the fun times we've had as family building memories on this lake. Remember to take time and honor those in your life this Holiday Season, even if they haven't been the person you wanted them to be. Maybe, just maybe they did the best they knew how.

I was assured that the boat would have the accessory table, boat cover and all manuals at delivery. The table and owners manuals were not delivered. The cover delivered with boar was for a completely different and larger craft - it did not fit. I tried for over 8 weeks to get an answer from YH as to when these items could be delivered. After several texts and emails, I finally was called by the original salesman that my cover would be in, in 5 days. I allowed 10 days to pass before reaching out for status. I was then told a new cover would be ordered and the boat would need to be picked up. At pickup, I was told it would be returned in "a couple days".. It has now been 7 days with no communication from YH. I just called and was told "it's next in line"! When I asked when it would now be ready? - I was told "hopefully this weekend.
