SHOP DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK!! Last September I took my 27' Ranger Tug to Canyon Marine…read moreto have the 1000hr maintenance done on the Yamaha 300HP outboard at the recommendation of my usual boat shop. The tech at my normal shop didn't feel qualified to do that level of service and said Casey at Canyon was more experienced. When I picked up the boat Canyon had done over $500 worth of work I had specifically told them not to do, that I would do myself. They also DIDN'T do some of the items I had requested they perform. When I got the boat home I found the oil level overfilled, so I pumped out some oil. It looked VERY unusual for brand new oil, like dark tea with a reddish tinge. I questioned whether it had even been changed but when I had it analyzed the lab said it looked clean so I dropped the issue. This May we launched the boat in Anacortes, WA and I started the motor for the first time since picking it up from Canyon Marine. We quickly discovered that the head was cracked and the motor was ruined. I called Canyon Marine at the time and left a voicemail message with the manager telling him about the failure. No one called me back. After I knew what the problem was and what the replacement motor cost would be I sent a letter to the manager at Canyon Marine detailing the issue and asking for a refund of the $2573 they charged me for the work. No one answered me. This motor cost tens of thousands of dollars to replace and all I asked for was what they charged me to ruin my outboard. The motor was running fine when I hauled the boat out last August before taking it to Canyon Marine. I had just run it from the Puget Sound to Alaska and back with a retired police officer who can attest to this. No one could determine the root cause of the failure so I can't prove Canyon Marine did this but it seems highly likely. Worked when I dropped it off, didn't work next time I started it after they serviced it. The customer service I experienced with this business has been truly abysmal.

Less than 30 minutes on the water and dead again would not auto stow. We have taken it to them twice once in the dead of winter to give them plenty of time to take to trouble shoot it and figure out what was wrong. It appears they did nothing though they charged us a pretty penny.

Idaho Water Sports is the local Bennington Dealer. I needed some work done on my boat when I received it, such as adding a ski towbar and having it winterized. Usually, a boat or RV Dealership will prioritize the people who purchased directly from them over people who purchased somewhere else. However, that was not the case here. Bekah in the Service department got me in right away and was very pleasant to work with. Billy, the service manager was also very pleasant to work with. Both Becca and Billy were very helpful, friendly and professional. They obviously care about their customers. They got my boat in and out quickly and everything was done to perfection. If you're looking for a new boat or you're looking to have your boat serviced, I would highly recommend Idaho Water Sports.

We have been looking to buy a boat for a few years now. Honestly, it seemed pretty scary at first…read more We found a boat online that we thought we would be interested in, we called and made an appointment to view it. At our appointment, we felt very welcome they had a cute welcome sign with our name on it and Chad was very knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. There was no pressure to buy at that moment he gave us time to think about it and call at a later date when we had made up our mind. Once we knew it was the boat for us Chad helped us with all the paperwork and even added on a free Un winterization package and offered to take us out on the lake for the first time. We learned how to use our boat and explored a new to us lake. Honestly, I thought buying a used boat we would not get the service as if we bought a brand-new boat, but everyone at prestige treated us as if we bought a brand-new boat.

We bought the boat in November and there was no haggling or uncomfortable conversations. We worked out a deal to keep the boat in Idaho until we were able to come get it in May! Scheduling a time to visit in May was super easy and they went above and beyond when we arrived. There was a bow on the boat and a personalized sign as we walked in the door. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We did some shopping in their proshop area for all of our gear and they offered us a generous discount for purchasing our boat with them! We did a demo on the water the day we picked it up and learned about all the features on the boat. We had a minor issue once we got back to the house, but Chad was there to answer our questions after hours and fixed the problem without hesitation. We got our boat home and she's in the water ready for a great summer! All thanks to Prestige and the awesome staff!!

They did right by me! We recently moved to Kuna from Lake…read moreForest, California last November. We bought our boat brand new from Anglers Marine in Anaheim, California in 2013 and faithfully serviced it there since new. The boat has been used mostly in coastal off shore waters from Long Beach to San Clemente and occasionally in the Colorado River in Arizona and Nevada. Well maintained and serviced every 2-years from bow to stern and the trailer no matter what, we fixed it. Our recent saga begins last January 2023 when the boat ran hot in the driveway during a routine start up. I called to make an appointment for service and was told the 1st available service appointment was April; 3-months out. With no other option we waited. During the service it was determined a thermostat housing was needing to be replaced and it was on backorder. So we waited for the part to come in...waited and waited. Still on backorder and the boat in storage unusable we moved to Kuna Idaho. I brought the boat up and put it in storage here while we continued to wait for the backordered part...March 2024 started to show some decent weather so I reached out to Indian Creek Sports & Storage just about 3-miles from my house. There I met Troy who patiently listened to my sob story and with his seasoned experience and advice he convinced me to bring it in for a look as he suspected the water pump and not the thermostat housing was the problem...I asked him if I needed an appointment and he simply said..."go get your boat and bring it in"...I was shocked...so I did. The boat was there for about a week at which time the backordered thermostat housing from Mercury Marine had come in and I took it over and delivered it to them. A day or two later I got a call from Darren who introduced himself as the mechanic working on my boat and he told me the water pump was in bad shape and best to replace it with the thermostat housing and then everything will be correct with a baseline for further diagnosis if required and I agreed. A few days later Darren called me said the boat is ready and runs perfect! My boat wasn't there more than 2 weeks including the time it took to get the water pump and during that time I also met Steve, Chris and others who are all very pleasant, approachable and knowledgeable....Once I got my boat home I carefully examined the work and I can say it looks like a factory installation. Perfect. As happy as I am to have this year long odyssey finally over I'm more pleased to have a trusted team of Marine engine and propulsion technical advisors and mechanics only 3-miles from my house who do what they say and don't mind explaining things in natural language.....and that Darren is a Genius!

Because of this oversight, the entire lower unit almost fell off while I was out on the water with my wife and daughter. It was a terrifying experience that put my family in direct danger. When I took the boat back, instead of apologizing for the mistake, the owner was incredibly rude. He blamed my motor's custom design for the issue, even though the real problem was his shop's failure to secure it properly. He eventually fixed it, but then called me just to gripe and complain about how he "wasted his time" on a "dumb motor." A professional shop should know how to follow basic safety specs the first time. The owner's lack of accountability and his aggressive attitude are completely unacceptable. Save yourself the stress and the safety risk, take your boat somewhere else!

Chip got back to us quickly, said the damage looked pretty bad, and he would need to see it before he could put together the repair estimate. I dropped the boat off and Chip got back quickly via email, with numerous pictures of all the visible damage especially under the boat. The impact caused extensive cracks radiating several feet beyond the fiberglass damage. Unfortunately, the repair estimate was more than we had thought, and our insurance told us it would be totaled. Chip had stored our boat for a couple weeks, and even though I offered to pay him for his time, he refused. I did see an example of their repair work, and you could tell that the side of the boat had been damaged! If your boat needs fiberglass repairs, see Chip!

( 110/85) I asked him what is causing that and he never checked. Doesn't own a camera to check cylinders, or diagnos any further. Today, a month later, I did a compression test and got 110/120. I texted him and let him know and his response was "are your gauges certified and calibrated?" As if that would make a difference when his differed by 25 and mine differed by 10. To further explain to the mechanic why he was wrong I went to O reillys and rented a compression tester and got 130/120. The same 10 psi difference. Don refuses to refund me and wants me to drive an hour to him in order for him to retest EVEN after both of my readings. I don't recommend this guy at all. I would have kept my mouth shut but the fact he won't refund me for a incorrect diagnosis (if it was done at all) is horrible business.
