The boat is already in the water when you show up, and then you just get it back to the dock 8 hours later, Dustin takes care of everything else. The boat ramp is a 30min drive from downtown Raleigh. Our Uber pulled us right up to the dock. I feel like this operation is one of Raleigh's best kept secrets. I would love to see this business grow, so they can add a few more boats to their fleet. Slow Rider was great, but the waterslide boat looked much cooler.

Gives them an opportunity to earn some money during the season. We got the aquabana as they call it, for half a day (4 hours) and it was worth it ! We didn't swim but the kids did and they had a blast! You're able to bring a cooler with food and drinks ( juice, tea, soda, water. No alcohol) they have a food truck on site, as well as a "dirty soda" stand. Flavored sodas with cream (very popular in Utah but slowly making their way to the east coast) as well as a first aid bungalow. Everyone gets a life vest but kids under 18 MUST wear theirs at all times! I like that rule! Keeps the kids safe. Of course the teens working there are certified lifeguards just in case! They also offer scuba classes/lessons at the quarry. Would I come back? YES! Maybe one day I would try the courses and swim or paddle board but the go around it was nice relaxing and letting the kids live carefree in the lake!

I have a Falcon 195 with a DF200SS and while there are dealers closer to me, they don't give me the service Precision Marine does. They always answer my questions, even the annoying technical ones. Robyn is always a delight to speak with, and Brian and Randy, the mechanics, are always straight up with me. I had a fuel issue last summer and Brian graciously spent time helping me try and narrow down the issue over the phone. Turned out he was right! (it was bad gas). Recently I wanted to swap out my lower unit and Randy was very understanding of my concerns. I've worked a little on boats myself so I do know a tiny bit, and Randy immediately recognized what I wanted (vacuum test for the lower unit seals, and a test on the dial indicator to make sure the shafts were in spec). Owning a boat is just a exercise in waiting for something to go wrong, and having a trustworthy dealer makes all the difference. To Robyn, Randy, and Brian, keep up the great work!

I would not recommend these guys to anyone under any circumstance to work on a boat. If would've fully checked and inspected would have been easy to find true problem. Yes impeller housing may have been bad but had a mechanic on the lake actually do some looking and within 5 minutes he found problem. These guys look for easy way out and charge 139$/hr for service. Found a mechanic on the lake and he's mobile and only 85$/hr. You will not see my service ever again from them or buying anything from them.
