    Big fans of Dennis Anderson and Anderson's Boats! We purchased a new Key West 20 DFS in July 2019…read more Everything about the sales experience was top-notch. Dennis quickly took us out for a sea trial, we loved the boat, and we got the deal done in about two days with no nonsense. To be honest, they were very firm on the price of the boat. This was expected -- these are popular boats with low inventory. However, they threw in a ton of extras: very nice GPS chartplotter (installed), canvas, fenders, lines, lifejackets, fire extinguisher, flares, etc. I didn't add it up, but it was thousands of dollars. Overall, the total value was outstanding. If you are a first time boat buyer, here's a hard truth: no boat comes perfect from the factory. The important question is how well the dealer handles your requests for warranty repairs. Anderson's gets five stars on this. I put together a small list of items that I wanted fixed and dropped the boat back off at the end of the 2019 season. Every issue was fixed, with no pushback, and no cost to me. You can't count on all dealers to do this well, but Anderson's got it done. Go see Dennis, get a new boat, and we'll see you out on the water!

    Our experience with Anderson Boat Sales was remarkable. From the initial contact with sales to the…read morefinal delivery to our Marina, the entire process was met with professionalism. Our sales person, Kayla, was incredible. She was enthusiastic, personable, always helpful, and highly knowledgeable. I was provided with video and photo updates and was even included in a facetime call while one of my accessories was being installed. We had in-water training with their amazing crew led by Blake prior to delivery. It was obvious that the entire team genuinely loves what they do and finds fulfillment in bringing joy to their customers. Thank you, Kayla, Danielle, and Dennis, for going above and beyond to make our boat buying journey so very special.

    Updated 12/9/2025 After changing the lower gear oil seals,…read morethey told me to bring the boat in the next spring so they could take it to a lake to test shifting from neutral to fwd and rev... Spring 2025 - My son and I figured out when Lakeside re-installed the lower unit, they did not line up the shaft that runs from the lower unit to the fwd/neutral/rev linkage. Wilson Marine took care of this for $350.00. There's no need to put the boat in the water or even put water paddle on the engine. If they installed it correctly to begin with, the shift ctrl would effortlessly slide from neutral to fwd and rev. Steer clear of this company! Original post taken down from Google and Yelp. Probably cause it was too long. Nutshell version: Lake side Marine is a rip off! In fall of 2024 I asked them to ONLY shrink wrap my boat. They took it upon themselves to replace the gear oil which they said had water in it. BS! When I replaced the gear oil a week earlier, the new oil didn't have water in it. They: changed the gear oil - not needed told me I needed new seals which I agreed to have them install. stabilized the gas - not needed. I always took care of all winterization processes except shrink wrap.

    I would highly recommend Lakeside for your marine services!! I bought my first boat and it needed…read moresome work done and since it's an older model, nobody would even entertain the conversation. Jon was willing to take a look and do the work necessary to make me not entirely regret the decision of buying a boat. Over the phone and in person, Danielle is incredibly kind and helpful. Jon was extremely honest and straightforward with all the information he could give me about the boat. Even to the point of explaining how to do some of the more "simple" maintenance items myself since I'm used to wrenching on cars and can do some of the stuff that transfers over. He showed true integrity and honesty throughout the entire process.

    My boat was finally returned the following week. But it gets worse. GM Chris Anderson called me…read more He apologized profusely for his infamously obnoxious uncle, who is "not permitted to talk to customers". But while Chris was out of the office, Uncle Dave was reportedly causing offenses at a record pace. Still, Chris assured me that this would never happen again, that he'd be my only point of contact, that he'd provide his mobile number, and a substantial accommodation to keep me as a customer. All of this so I'd remove my first review, posted last month. I did. Then, naturally, everything Chris promised, never happened. Now a month later, and I haven't even been able to get Chris back on the phone. It gets worse. All of the service items that were supposedly the reason for my repeatedly canceled and delayed delivery appointments -- those likewise never happened. Not a single one of them. They charged me (in fact, they overcharged me by $150), but did absolutely NONE of the work that they promised me was completed before my boat was finally returned. When I was sold this 2024 Tahoe new last year, it was somehow missing a battery. I had to travel to Grand Rapids to pick up a replacement battery. Over the winter, they said that battery was installed; it was not. They said the stereo amp was fixed; it was not. They said the ladder was fixed; it was not. They said the boat was gassed up; it was not. They said it was detailed; it was not. They said the oil was changed; at this point, how could anyone reasonably believe that was done either? It gets worse. Not only was the boat not serviced but, incredibly, it was returned damaged. Whether in storage or on delivery, they bent the front door and front door latch and returned the bimini in pieces. You think they're finally taking care of things like professionals? Naah, I still can't get Chris Anderson or his service department on the phone. I purchased this boat to enjoy a leisurely family experience. With thanks to Anderson, it's been anything but.

    I would under no circumstances recommend Anderson Boat Sales for service work. I brought in my…read moresmall pontoon boat because the still under warranty 25hp outboard was leaking fuel into the water. Anderson said that they fixed it by replacing some gaskets and sent the boat home with me. The day I put it back in the water I noticed fuel in the water again. I went to the store and spoke with service. They said that there was probably still fuel that was working through the system and that it would go away. I used the boat very little that summer and finally took the boat back in because it did not go away. At that time it was past its warranty period. Anderson said that they fixed what Mercury prescribed and that if it got miss diagnosed that it was their fault and that they should be responsible. Eight months later neither Mercury or Anderson did the right thing and owned the mistake and I picked up the broken boat from them this morning. The service manager Jacques Phillippe was involved. I copied Dale Anderson and Chris Anderson on the notes. They never reached out to me. I chased all of them for the 8 months. My next step is going directly to Mercury. I doubt they even know that Anderson was throwing them under the bus to me. Avoid this company at all costs.
