I'm from Las Vegas, Nevada. Out here, we really only have a couple boat dealerships, and they…read moreup-charge the heck out of their boats. My fiancé and I took to looking for a used boat online, and stumbled upon our boat now: a 2014 Axis A24 wakeboarding boat. We came into contact with Casey Britt, who works there, just to ask some questions about the boat, etc. Casey was more than helpful: took photos and videos of the boat, sent them to us, and took our calls whenever we wanted to ask more questions. I'd say that his customer service was a very big part of why we ended up buying a boat, even this boat specifically (keep in mind, this was a 55k purchase and I HAD NEVER EVEN SEEN THE BOAT!). Being in law enforcement, I would have never felt comfortable enough doing this if it wasn't for Casey. Upon purchase of the boat, Casey had it washed, checked, and set for shipment. We got it out here a few days later and it was just as good as Casey had described. He had been truthful about some minor cosmetic issues, and honest about the condition of the boat in its entirety. When it came to having all of the documents to title and register the boat (from AL to NV), this was a nightmare through our DMV and Dept. of Wildlife.. but Casey had our back once again and made even dealing with different, taxing (literally) government agencies that much more simple. I'd absolutely recommend buying a boat from this dealership and through Casey specifically. He was knowledgeable, friendly, courteous and timely. I'm rarely satisfied with customer service and am usually left disappointed or annoyed.. but Casey and Skiers Marine set a new standard in service and attitude that is unmatched in sales.

So I must have been to this place a couple of dozen times over the years and for good reason…read more Actually, for a variety of good reasons. Sometimes in life you say to yourself, "I should be paddling down a river in a kayak", and then you realize the logistical issues of actually doing that. You can't predict the Cahaba which runs through Birmingham. Is it moving too fast today? Is the water so low that my boat will just scrape the rocks at the bottom? Unless you're a seasoned kayaker it's best not to risk being out in unpredictable waters and so you need a place to go where you can know what to expect. Coosa River Adventures is that place. Good, clean family run business. Wide variety of sit-on-top kayaks that won't sink. Rent everything you need for 29 bucks, take a bus ride down to Jordan dam and paddle your way back to your car. The section of river that you're on starts at the bottom of Jordan dam, and so since they know on a daily basis what the flow rate of the dam is, they know the conditions of the river as well. Predictable water is critical for someone who wants to enjoy the day without having anxiety about whether they might encounter dangerous conditions. You can give them a call and they'll have information about the flow rate which can help you plan your trip. 2000cfm is slow, low and easy. 4000cfm is still nothing to worry about. 6000cfm is a little more adventurous. 8000 is about the higgest flow rate you'll see and it can get a little choppy in places. Once a year or so they run 10000cfm for a whitewater festival which can be a blast, but expect to fall out of your boat at least once. Over the 7 to 8 mile stretch there are a variety of small islands, rock formations etc where you can stop for a break, have a picnic, take a nap in the blistering sun or open up your dry box and take a few pics. The main rapid, known as "moccasin gap" can be categorized as class 3 depending on the flow of the river. The other small rapids are generally just little bits of choppy water that liven up the trip. An important thing to note is that the river is very wide, and so if you have no interest in paddling through any rapids, you can easily bypass them and just float peacefully along. Fun for everyone. A few tips....don't litter, don't take off your life jacket and then fall out of your boat. Don't lose your boat or paddle. Don't get so intoxicated that you fall down on a slippery rock and crack your skull. Do bring a dry box, pelican case or whatever to keep your stuff dry. Do tie that to your boat. Do pack some bottles of water and some snacks for the trip. Do call ahead and make a reservation to help them plan for how many boats they're going to need to ferry down to the starting point. The shuttles run at 9am, 11am and 1pm and it takes between 3 to 6 hours to finish the trip depending on the flow rate of the river and how fast you decide to paddle. Get there early. There's a brief sign in/safety meeting and then you're on the bus and on your way. So all in all this place is pretty amazing. Really friendly and down to Earth people, a safe, predictable section of river which has rapids for those who want them and byways for those who don't. They'll rent you everything you need and they have a small shop for picking up extras that you might want. The facilities are a bit rustic, but more than adequate and the prices are good especially if you consider that they may be the only people around really offering what they're offering. Definitely worth the trip if you decide that paddling down a river is something you want to do.
