He was even eager to learn why we wanted this motor, called the company because he's didn't know such a motor existed and get us the motor from the manufacturer. He suggested a different size propeller to match the jon boat, gave us the propeller for free and offered to have a mechanic shape and adjust the propeller for no additional charge. Because we didn't have a trailer for the boat, he offered to loan us one - again for free. We were so thrilled and enjoyed working with him. The minus 1 star is for the female manager whose name I decided to forget since she practically reneged on everything Rock offered us. Rock wasn't there when we came to pick-up the motor. She made us feel like we were asking an awful lot for only ordering a $2,500.00 motor and assured us the propeller was fine that came with the motor and that we could figure out how to shape and adjust it ourselves. She looked greatly annoyed and put out when we asked if we could borrow a trailer. My parent-in-laws were with us, and I could tell my father-in-law was growing very angry at how she was treating us, and my mother-in-law looked really hurt. I think if this took any longer, my FIL was going to buy us a new boat to prove to her that even if we couldn't afford it, he could. After all, he was the one buying us the motor.

When they asked our family if we wanted to go boating one weekend, the answer was a resounding YES. From their house, we passed about three marinas to get to this one. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I do! Everyone at this marina was friendly, helpful, and the actual dock was clean. There wasn't a huge wait to get unloaded or to load back up after we were done. Everything was organized and efficient!

My family needed a place to stay at the last minute and Terry helped me find the perfect option for all 9 of us to stay. We were able to walk to Indiana Beach. You are within 200 yards of the park's entrance, which was so convenient. By being a guest at Bay Side Resort, you also received a generous discount into the park. The property had paddle boats and kayaks that were free to use. This was something the whole family participated in, and was an added perk that no other rental offered. There is a giant deck for all residents to enjoy without feeling cramped. They offered a multitude of grills (gas/charcoal) so we were able to enjoy grilling out as a family which also saved us money by being able to avoid an expensive restaurant. They are located on a quiet bay area that has minimal big boat traffic, so the family was able to swim in Lake Shafer, along with boating. If you don't want to swim in the lake, the property also had a large swimming pool and hot tub. There is a convenient marina located across the bay, so if you need to rent a boat or wave runner you had that option as well. There was also a huge fire pit that is free to use at your leisure. The inside of the house we rented was rustically beautiful. It had a full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, and sink. The bathroom had a walk in shower. The particular house we had included a queen, full, set of bunk, and futon beds. Overall the experience was wonderful. We highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome place to stay. Terry and Jackie were amazing, give them a call!!

It's unfortunate to write this because we had high hopes, but it is what it is. We rented a boat on…read morethe 4th of July and we're told we have the newest boat they own. Perfect....until we took it out. Boat number 3 had engine issues. I'm not a mechanic, but, I know their pontoons are supposed to go at least 10 mph. We even raced a kayaker and lost. Not kidding. The RPM's would run high but we wouldn't go any faster than 7-8mph. So, therefore we had to deal with large wake from other boats because we were basically idle the whole time. We then were stuck due to the engine not starting. After about 10 min of fiddling with everything trying to figure out the issue, we got lucky and the engine started so we could return in a timely manner. Once returned, we reported the issue and their own employee admitted that something was wrong. We were told to call the next day to figure out if there could be some sort of compensation due to not being able to use the boat like we wanted to. Once I called I was told they couldn't do anything because the boat went above 10 mph when they "tested it out". Absolutely unacceptable. The manager told me that since we "didn't bring the boat back to replace with another one, there's nothing we can do". The reason why is because before we left one of the employees said they booked all of their boats. Stating that it was going to be a very busy day. All in all we were a little dissatisfied with the boat, but more importantly the lack of customer service. We made sure to return the boat in better shape than when we received it (mind you we found bottle caps in the cup holders and mud on the seats). I hope the next customers has a better experience. Happy 4th of July!

Mike Manahan is one hell of a salesman and promised us we could have everything we asked for and gave us a great price. He did warn us that he couldn't start until fall. We gave him $15,000.00 upfront to buy the steel. In the fall, he couldn't get to us so he promised us we would be the first in spring 2013. In June 2013, he built the seawall, put up the steel structure for the dock and boat lift, demolished our concrete sidewalk and excavated the hill so our landscapers could build another retaining wall. We paid Mike another $7,000.00. We never heard or saw Mike and his crew again, despite promises that he would put in the cradle, motor and electric for the boat lift, wood and roof for the dock, backfill behind the seawall and pour new concrete sidewalks. Throughout the summer, fall and winter of 2013 through to this spring 2014, we called the business phone number, Mike's cellphone and his brother's law firm numerous times, but his voicemail is always full, and his brother won't return our phone calls. What we are left with is a big, ugly, bare bones steel structure in our backyard, a gulf between the seawall and remaining yard that prevents us from getting to and using the waterfront, and personal liability for neighborhood kids who think it's fun to climb on the steel structure. After two years and no boat lift, dock or yard to show for $22,000.00, we now have to hire new contractors and sue Marine Works to mitigate our damages. I will also be leaving complaints with the BBB and White County business bureaus.
