So I brought them in to their service area and spoke to the lady at the window and asked if she new how long it would be before we might get an idea as to what's wrong with the two waverunners and get an estimate, she said it would be a couple weeks because they are pretty backed up this time of year, I said know problem just call me so I know the cost. To my surprise I received a call the next day saying that both of my machines needed a carb job and that each machine would be $1000, but they would not work on them because they could not get the parts and that its just too difficult to work on waverunners 18 years old. So they charged me $150 bucks for refusing to work on my machines. Here is the disappointing piece to this, I took these to machines to another shop, the carbs are fine..... What they found was that in both machines when the batteries went dead they both re-set to the factory settings to beginner rider and that is why they would not accelerate!!!! They also said they can get carbs for those models no problem for $60... You guys are hucksters, plane and simple!!! I'm going to let everyone around Cypress and Bob Sandlin Lakes know not to buy new, or used or get work done from you. I was thinking we might buy our pontoon from Momentum, but no chance now. Your mechanic didn't even look at my machines and obviously you don't work on older waverunners as you told me over the phone, your just trying to sell new ones. GOOD LUCK with this customer service. I hope the owner or investment group that has this place will read this. Very unhappy.

I strongly advise taking your boat and business elsewhere. only leaving one star because you have to business deserves zero stars!

So the end of 2020 I bought a 2021 Skeeter FXR20 Apex. Top of the line in the Skeeter product line…read moreat the time. Within months the top cap cracked and was sent off to Skeeter. Upon gettting it back within two trips top cap cracked again. Sent it back to Skeeter they sent it back with burnt carpet, everything all scratched up and horrible paint job on boat. To add there was paint sprayed onto boat trailer. Sent it back again my customer service representative and his suppposive customer service manager promised it would be abosolutely perfect when I get it back. NOpe all scratched up in all work areas, brackets look managled, paint correction is horrible, and after multiple trips to Kilgore Tx they cant get the paint off the trailer. So I am now 17 months just trying to get a product I paid for without a bunch of defects and looking like a pile of crap. I just cant handle sending it back to get it corrected when now I have strap marks in rub rails, and in paint from loading and unloading improperly. how much can one guy take. I spoke with rep and ask him to send me a new graph mount and a second solix graph and I will forget all about the scratches that Skeeter caused working on it. I asked for different customer service rep and a higher manager and per Robert the Customer Service Manager there is noone higher than him to help make a customer happy. So Im personally at my last straw and about to snap. So I guess legal action against Manufacture and Selling Dealer will have to be my next step to get what I paid for and to get boat to customer satisfaction. Since what I have asked for to correct there mistakes would cost them less then shipping it back to Kilgore TX. Im sure the court cost and attorney fees will surpase the cost of such little demands for major inconviences.

FLACCID AL'S BAREFOOT BAY…read more JUST THE DETAILS -Our lawnmower stored at Barefoot bay was taken and used by the new marina owners. They claim that our contact and payment info was never transferred from the old owners and it was abandoned property to seize because of that. -Trying to get things sorted out we had unpleasant interactions and intimidation tactics used against us and potentially witnessed some child labor violations. -Payed them the past due balance. The returned mower had approximately $500 worth of vandalism damage done to it. They eventually paid for the repair which seems to be an admittance of guilt. They have not admitted or apologized for any of the damages or unethical use. THE FULL EXPERIENCE Upon returning spring of this year (2025) we were met with all new signage and a fresh wood facade inside and out. New cameras everywhere, an updated bar and dance hall. It was impressive at first glance. Sadly the facelift that had been preformed was nothing better than lipstick on a pig. Under the shimmering red gloss this place is still just swine wallowing in its own filth. On our first visit this year to pick up our mower, a drowsy looking man that appeared to have gum disease approached us. He told us he was wondering who the trailer belonged to. We explained that we were the owners of the equipment. He stated that our automatic payment we had previously set up would need to be updated. When we returned 3 weeks later we found an empty trailer, our mower was missing. Someone had to cut our lock and cable off. We went inside and asked for a manger only to be greeted by a child behind the counter. I asked for a manger and she went to go find them. A middle aged man with a large cold sore approach me and asked what I needed. I was sharply dismissed and directed to a lady in a side office. She started filling out a theft report when a young lady with an upper lip piercing came in and asked what happened. She asked if it was a red mower and then said she would be right back. While I waited for her to return the little girl behind the counter was processing transactions at the register unsupervised. Selling snack, drinks, and even cigarettes at one point. When the woman with the lip piercing returned the girl asked her if it was legal for her to sell cigarettes. She was told no, but not to worry about it. I was eventually handed their land line phone and talked with their new property manager Jessica. While on the phone the cold sore man returned and demanded I take that call elsewhere. He insisted that was a business line and I needed to take the elsewhere. After I told him I was on the business line with the business (the property manager) he stood there staring at me and eventually walked off. A week later when we picked up the lawn mower it was back on the trailer. That's where their fulfillment ended. The control handles were bent so badly the enamel paint was chipped off and the lawnmower was not controllable. The key cylinder had been destroyed, the throttle control was bent, one of the transmission releases was bent, and a chunk of the handle foam was torn off. They vandalized the lawnmower extensively before returning it. Eventually the property manager reimbursed us for the vandalism caused on her team's watch. That seems to be the only ethical part of this entire exchange. What seems to be the most concerning for the future of the marina is the complete lack of ethics within the staff, and potential of willingly violating child labor laws, a minor working the register alone selling age restricted items. The behavior by the cold sore man, a supposed manager trying to pressure and intimidate us, damaging property that they were paid to store and keep secure. "Big Al's" has fallen flat. This place needs to seriously consider replacing the local management. From what I have seen and personally experienced recently at Barefoot bay, it is my opinion that people lacking so much integrity and intelligence operating a business are untrainable and just need to be replaced.
