Started off with a phone call to the Coos Bay dealership, inquiring about a boat I had seen on…read moretheir website. They said it was available, so I made arrangements to fly in from N. California. I gave them a weeks' notice and asked if they could have the boat brought down from there Florence dealership, they agreed. I confirmed the day before arrival that I was going to be at the dealership around 1pm, once I arrived, I was told that they were not able to bring the boat down and I would need to drive an hour away to the Florance dealership to see the boat. I can understand if they didn't have time to bring the boat down to Coos Bay on only a possibility of a boat sale, but if they would have told me that they were unable to, and I would have just drove Stright there from the airport and not wasted my time going to the Coos Bay dealership. The salesperson (Brian) said he would go with me to the Florence dealership, but they were extremely busy (there was not one customer in site), so I said no problem and just went myself. I took a look at the boat, spoke with a very nice and knowledgeable guy from the Florance dealership and headed back to the Coos Bay dealership to discuss buying the boat. Called Brian and let him know I was on my way, but he was at home already (3:30) and that we could go over final pricing on Monday. I was thinking, I came all this way and was going to buy this boat that day but needed to wait until Monday now. (Note, boat sales are very slow, and Y Marina is closing the Florance Dealership down, but couldn't take a little extra time that day to sell a 100K plus boat). Call on Monday, settled on a price for the Boat, ask if they would be interested in also setting up the boat with electronics and kicker motor and asked for the addition cost, they said sure thing and they would get back to me that afternoon or the following morning. I didn't hear back, so I called the following day to finalize the deal and asked why I had not heard back from them sooner, then I was told that the boat was sold to someone else. I mentioned that we had agreed to a price and the boat was sold and that I was just waiting on the accessory pricing and installation lead time. They offered no apology and just said that there Florence store sold the boat and didn't communicate that with them. I said it seems that you do not communicate well with each other and that the boat should not have been sold out from underneath me. I have seen good reviews about this dealership, and it might have been this way at one time, but my experience showed me that they are very disconnected and scattered and communicate poorly with potential customers. I don't think sales work very well this way in a slow market (or any market). I guess maybe they got comfortable with the hot boat sales market of the past and it shows. I ended up buying a boat and Clemens Marina. Very knowledgeable staff and communicated well and great pricing. Y Marina missed out on $150K sale, due to lack of effort, scattered and poor sales Commnication.

I would like to share a recent experience that my father-in-law Bert Wheeler had when dealing with…read moreY-Marina on Coos Bay, Oregon. Keep in mind my father-in-law is retired, on a fixed income and loves to fish and was in need of a kicker motor for his older 17' Spectrum. He spent countless hours trying to figure out exactly what he needed and to find a dealer that would work with him on motor setup and service that was in his budget. With no luck in the Eugene/Springfield area as well as online he happened to stop by Y-Marina in Coos Bay talked with Scott, who took the time to figure out what exactly what my father-in-law needed. They settled on a new 9.9 Yamaha and it was the best price in the state or online. Needless to say it fished great. As it would happen last fall the old 60hp motor on the Spectrum started acting up so he took it in to be repaired at Y-Marina and they would have fixed it for him, but Scott was able to get him into a brand new 60hp motor for a better price than he could find for a used motor from any other source locally or online. Now he can fish worry free, and just as important we as a family, don't have to worry about him on the water. It is a joy to go out and fish worry free, thanks to the sales and service provided by Y-Marina. He always speaks highly of the customer service he received at Y-Marina. The staff dealt with him in an honest and friendly manner and went above and beyond. Sincerely, Steve Swartout

I'm writing this review after several months of use of my purchase from y Marina. I went from a…read moredrift boat to a smokercraft pro Alaskan . I looked for almost a year hesitant on pulling the trigger. I wanted something reliable as I usually have kids fishing in the boat with me. I was also looking for a good deal new or used. So when I saw a boat that looked like something that would fit that bill I went to y Marina. That's where I met Bubba. He was excellent, easy to talk to and pointed me in the right direction. He even went out of his way to give my toddler son some snacks to keep him entertained. Upon purchase I voiced a concern with the boat and he immediately got on the phone and assured me if there were any problems y Marina would take care of us. I purchased a used boat this time but next time I will be purchasing a new boat from y Marina . We have used the boat at least 15 time since purchase a few months ago. We have never had a single issue . Thanks again Bubba and to all the staff at y Marina that helped us. From the office ladies filing our paperwork to the mechanics checking over the boat before purchase.

Eugene was the farthest Clemens Marina from where I live, but after talking with Ryan I wasn't going to buy from anyone else Ended up with a beautiful new boat.

We are also new boaters, so Tony spent over 2 hours to teach us!

He was an amazing teacher and gave us lots of tips and hints. We've since taken the boat out at least 6 times this year (we just got it at the end of August) and definitely wouldn't have been able to do so without Tony's help and teachings.

Also, they left a battery cable loose, which fried my master raymarine display because of poor connections. I found this out because I thought I had dead batteries when I brought the boat home. The display was not working properly. Which always worked. Also my radio said low battery voltage. I then purchased two batteries as soon as I brought the boat home because the engines were hard to start when I realize one of the cables was extremely loosely connected when i went to install the batteries. Not even tightened down at all. I end up having to buy a new master display because of the spike voltages from the cable connections being loose and also bought 2 new batteries. I was stuck with them too since I did not return them because they were to hard to remove. Another thing that happened was I had a broken brake line on my trailer that was brought to my attention from them. This was caused by someone else who just installed new brakes. I Drove 500 miles to have them install the engines and you would think they would offer to take care of my brakes, but that did not get done even though I asked them to fix it and would pay them. I had to drive all the way back home without brakes on my trailer through the mountains. They didn't have time for fixing it. Fortunately, I am very knowledgeable electrically and mechanically so during the winter I was able to correct the issues on my own by doing a lot of research. It cost me about $1250 extra to get it right but now. I'm very happy with the way my boat is set up. They do not return calls should you have any minor questions. Just my 2 cents.

The stove burners showed moderate use and cupboards still had stuff in them. This trailer had received zero attention from this seller on this inside! I was expecting the condition would be as advertised, as this is the picture he painted. Either he openly lied about the condition, or he did not know the actual condition. Either way, it was way beyond disappointing, and I was fuming! I tried my best to be professional and just tell him what I saw without spewing, and he did drop the price for us, but this did not make me see him as a reputable seller. You cannot change first impressions, and ours was and still is, not good. Would not buy from him again or recommend him.
