I want to give a shout out to Goodhue Boat Co. We bought a pontoon boat from them last September,…read moreand when we went to pick it up they couldn't have been nicer. They detailed the boat, gave us bumpers, life vests, and 4 lines so we could tie the boat off. I felt we paid a reasonable amount, I was happy, and took delivery Labor Day weekend. They winterized it, stored it, and got it ready for a June pick-up. I'm now dealing with the service department, and I feel they are bending over backwards to accommodate us. I would highly recommend Goodhue Boat Co.

They installed their spare battery plus took it back out afterwards when we got to their marina. On top of that, the guy who did the work was so friendly and explained what we needed to do when we got back to our marina. Just five star service for complete strangers. We could have been in a much crappier situation, and we are so grateful they decided to stop and help. If you're looking for a marina, I would 20/10 recommend.

Top notch service from both sales and repairs. Have purchased two boats, both consignments, but…read moreyou wouldn't have known that I didn't buy new based on the way the sales staff worked with me. Service Team, esp. Steve H is top notch. Had a mid-season issue and Steve's team chased down an out of stock part from another dealer and had it overnighted so I could have my boat back during my vacation. Great communication and rates are in line with other on water marinas.

Do not use this company. This company will not let you cancel or move your reservation if the…read morereservation is within 14 days. Weather reports are only 10 days out, so you get totally screwed if it rains. Even if there's lightning, this company will not let you move your reservation. I could understand if you canceled or moved and they were left with an unreserved boat that could have been reserved by someone else, but boats will not rent in the rain, so they are just using the weather as a means to screw you and profit in the mean time. Use Winnie Marine instead. They cost a bit more, but they'll let you cancel your reservation on the day of if it's raining. No contest in terms of service.

Listen, I read through these reviews and I can't argue with them if they've had some of the…read morenegative experiences described. However, this is a dealership and there is a level of markup associated with their labor and parts...it's how they make money. Still, my experience was positive. I've been waiting for my boat since last summer. Raj, my salesman, has been great. The rest of the staff are positive and enjoyable folks through my interactions...I enjoy when they poke fun at Raj (sorry Raj haha). I noticed issues from the factory, they took care of the critical stuff and will take care of the rest when I bring the boat back in. It was easy, and they were attentive to my concerns and friendly. I plan to use them going forward if possible. Thanks! John Williams

They handle 800 boats every year with huge storage facilities, heated and unheated. Bought a new…read moreboat from them 13 years ago, a moderate sized SeaRay. Good service overall, with some issues 2 years of the 13. But, those were well handled. NOT this year, as I requested my boat mid-May with down payment as I usually do. They could not perform until after memorial day! I have heated storage and pay for full service of my boat every year. But being a long term well paying customer is now ignored. When my boat was not ready at Memorial day weekend, I then asked for a short delay for delivery (service could continue). They did nothing to ready my boat. I am now waiting another 1.5+ weeks, hopefully to get the boat. New ownership is not able to keep up with heated storage and full service. I would buy a boat somewhere else if you are expecting loyalty in service.

We went looking at Pontoon Boats in August of 2020. We were quickly disappointed as every marina…read morehad a very long waiting list for dock space. Getting dock space was key to a purchase. I search the web for dock space and Parker Maine came up. Buy a boat and get dock space, perfect. I made an appointment and went to look at a boat. The boat they had was just right for us. A slightly larger engine would be nice but the $3000 savings was good so we went forward with the purchase. Everyone was so nice and explained everything to us. It was a great purchase experience. Within a week, they had their money and we had a boat in the water. Each time we went to use the boat someone would check on us to see how everything was going and to see if we had questions. So glad that we found Parker Marine and we can't wait for the spring so we can have our boat placed back in the water.

Left…read morethere called a few Bentley dealers in the country to get MSRP since I wasn't able to build a Bentley online to see actual MSRP. And found out their "Price tags" are completly made up nonsense!! Don't wast your time and fall for their made up MSRP's!!! They are inflated by $20-$30,000!!! And then claim to have left over dealer rebates they are making these special deals on. Don't fall for it. Drive on by. Head to Wards Boat Shop in Ossipee, I got a quality boat with WAY more features and a higher quality brand and honest salesman. I paid less than Actual MSRP on the boat, Motor, and trailer with plenty to choose from.

Everyone kept telling me they couldn't even look at it for 2 weeks and that it would most likely be costly from what I was describing. I had just about thrown in the towel when I asked and got a tip from a girl that lives in the area and works at Jo Jo's (a great local store). She spoke highly of them because her dad gets all his service there. I trailered my boat and drove it over to Lane's End. I was greeted by the service manager (think his name was Tim?) who was so much more professional than people at other marina's I had been dealing with. He looked things over quick and you could just tell that he really knew what he was talking about. He gave me some prices up front and told me how long he thought it would take. I had my boat back in the water in just 2 days (and that was only because they had to get a part for it). And they were 100% fair on cost. It is rare anymore that a business will find you in a desperate situation and not try to take advantage of you............Can't say enough about how great they were. I will recommend this place to everyone.
