    Munson Ski & Marine

    Do you like outdated high pressure sales tactics, grey moral areas, dealing with lawyers, and…read moregenerally wasting countless hours of your life? Then come on down to Munson Ski and Marine, where you too, can make the worse purchase of your life! I run a boat rental business in California, and we were recently looking to expand our business and purchase another boat. We finally found what looked like the perfect boat on Boat Trader from Munson Ski & Marine. We talked to Marc Biasco, one of the sales associate, over the phone and everything seemed to be perfect about the boat. So I told him I'll drive out to Illinois  over the next couple days, check out the boat, and if it looks good I'll buy it and drive it back. He then proceeds into talking me out of coming to see the boat (since it's so far away) and starts telling me about the "old lady" who's interested in buying the boat. I tell him that's fine, and to sell to the "old lady," even though I had my doubts the "old lady" existed. A couple days later I get a text message from Marc saying the "old lady" didn't end up buying the boat (surprise surprise) and they are willing to take some money off the price. At this point, I have already found another boat in Arizona, which is new and a little more expensive but is way closer to us. I tell Mark this and then he starts sending me long paragraph text messages about how I shouldn't buy the new boat, the brand is low quality, their boat is turnkey ready to go, and a high quality brand. I tell him no, I'm going with the new boat but thanks anyways. I then find out the new boat won't available for three more weeks, which is a problem for our company since the boating season here is so short and we would lose out on 3 weeks of rentals. I call Marc back and inquire if this boat is still available. He tells me it is, but now there's a "fireman" that's there right now and wants to buy the boat. Same selling tactic? Really? Long story short we negotiate the price down a little, arrange for expedited shipping at a premium cost through Uship and buy the boat. Three days later:  The boat arrives. The first thing that the guy who transported the boat says to me is that he had to tell Munson Ski and Marine to take some mussels off from the back of the boat so he could pass state inspection stations on the cross-country drive. BIG RED FLAG. I take the boat to our local inspection station, as required by law, and turns out there are Zebra mussels EVERYWHERE. These mussels are illegal in the whole state of California, dead or alive, and shouldn't even be crossing state lines. The boat gets immediately quarantined for a month and I have to start talking to our local game warden and other local agents about what I need to do to get the boat up to our state's standard. It turns out we will need to cut off the chimes on the side of the pontoons, clean them, unmount the motor, clean that whole mounting area, and the inside of the motor. I get quotes from local shops and they tell me it's going to be $10-20k to get all this done and even after all this, they aren't sure if it will be clean enough to launch in our lake. We reach out to Marc to ask him about last time the boat was in the water and what lake it came from, he says it hasn't been in the water since last fall and it was last in Lake Genova (a lake known for Zebra mussels). He says he reaching out to his boss, Matt Munson, and he should be in contact with me shortly. We get the phone call from Matt Munson, and told him what we learned about the boat he sold us.  Because the shipping company told the dealership about the mussels, Matt Munson was clearly aware of the condition of the boat and that this would be a problem for us in California. We told him that because he was negligent in advising us of a contamination, we wanted our money back. My business partner was kind enough to say we will eat the cost of shipping to California, Munson would just have to ship the boat back to Illinois and give us back our money, no hard feelings. Matt says he has to talk to his Dad about this and he will get back to us shortly. We don't hear anything else from him. I call multiple times over the next couple days and he doesn't reply. Eventually he writes me an email saying he checked with his lawyers and they did nothing wrong. They went to a lawyer first rather than working with us. In reaching out to our own legal counsel, we discovered that we did not have a solid enough case to pursue. That being said, this is morally reprehensible and this business should be held accountable for their shady dealings. We will be contacting the BBB and strongly recommend that other people go somewhere else for their boat purchases.

He is extremely professional and know his products. He actually skies and teaches as well so he understands which boat would best fit your needs. He really does his very best to make you happy and comfortable with your decision making process. He truly is an expert and has worked with Munson for 25 year plus. He is straightforward and super nice. I highly recommend him. Cindy L. Blue Spring Lake WI

    BEWARE OF BAY MARINE! I NEVER complain as I am a small business owner for over 25 years and deal…read moredirectly with the public. I understand that mistakes happen and good businesses work to honor their word, written agreements, and protect their reputation. I only write this after exhausting all options other than the filing of a lawsuit (pending) to get a fair response from Bay Marine. Despite me sharing open information on my concerns/damages backed by a professional experienced mechanic, video, and photos, and written work agreements, they have refused to fix the damages to my vessel which are running in the $30,000 range. Dishonest service: I paid for their "concierge" launch service which was a joke as they didn't complete the scope yet refused to rebate for work they admittedly did not do. Failure to perform agreed written work orders. There is no evidence in the vessel and no evidence provided that they completed the scope of work (winterization) properly. Signficant damages resulted as I had to replace 6 air handlers, a water pump, and two thru-hull glasses that were damaged by freezing. But Matt (owner) is a gem.. he claims that the equipment was "old" and just mechanically broke down (all at once lol). oh yeah and that the antifreeze they use breaks down in 12 months and doesn't provide protection... (i stored with them for two winters but it ran just over a year in time). Can you imagine your car freezes every year even though very few people replace the antifreeze annually? no it does not nor is it rated to do that... any excuse will do other than the truth apparently. You will be pleased to know that Matt says they do all their work "perfectly"... Unapologetic breach of promises: to research the cause of damage and determine what was damaged from freezing, the owner, Matt and I agreed that i would hire a third party professional mechanic (who they have used and still use). Matt said he will rely on those results. nice, right? That mechanic has 20+ years of expertise in these matters. Said mechanic concluded (and I shared a recorded video of same with Matt) that Bay's lack of performing the hired scope of work almost certainly resulted in the signficant physically damages to my vessel while in their custody. Yet after receiving said documentation, they refuse to reimburse for repairs or further respond. They hide their insurance. Everyone ask up front for their insurance company that backs their work as they hide their insurance carrier info. and refuse to share it when there is a claim. Nice and honest approach. the game seems to be that you must file an expensive lawsuit just to get that information. Seems like a honest approach to you? List your boat for sale? and yes, I had my $500,000+ valued boat actually listed with them during this time. they were going to make money no matter what but they are apparently just too disingenuos to make things right. RUN AWAY! BTW: It is unclear on who now owns Bay Marine and whether current ownership or prior is "legally" responsible for all this. But I did also communicate with the current manager of service who refused to help in any way. and the people that "worked on my boat" are still there so BEWARE!. My material communication for resolution was with Matt (at the seeming direction of all involved over there). Matt claims to be the owner at the time of my service work but Matt says he now "owns" the Sales business. We all want a trustworthy person representing us in the sale of our property. think very carefully before listing with Matt! a few photos attached... but i have plenty more.
