My Pontoon had been sitting out exposed to the elements and was a pretty bad shape. Top Knotch Boat Repair and Alice were extremely responsive and very helpful in getting me quote and scheduling a cleaning appointment for me. I ultimately decided to refurbish the carpet and seats etc so did not need the service just yet. Easy to cancel and reschedule for next year. Just nice people to work with. A local small business worth the wait and patronage. Hope to repeat the review in a years time. Thanks, Alice and TKBR!!

Brad is a high integrity individual and extremely knowledgeable. I was considering the purchase of…read morea boat in his area and reached out to him (from NY state) for his guidance. He could have easily parlayed my interest in the boat into significant rehab work for himself, but he didn't. Instead, he acted as an honest, impartial consultant on the pros and cons of the boat and helped me to make a rational decision. I would highly recommend Brad at Workhorse Marine to any one in the area.

My husband and I needed a mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection on a 2009 Regal Cruiser. Brad,…read moreat workhorse marine was thorough, honest, communicative and professional. My husband and I are new to boat ownership and traveled from Annapolis, MD to purchase this boat. Brad was very patient with us, and helped to make every step of the purchasing process easy. I particularly appreciated the fact that upon discovering specific issues with the boat, he provided us with various options at various price points that would fit our budget instead of automatically pushing us into the most costly option to repair with whatever the issue was. It's extremely difficult to find an honest boat mechanic that performs excellent work at fair price points. I have and will continue to recommend Brad at workhorse to anyone I know looking for a solid mechanic and a really good guy to work with!

Bob and Greg just repaired my boat for the 3rd time in 2 years. Different issues with an older…read moreboat. ( busted water line, sunk boat rebuild and shifter/ cables replaced) They were fair, honest and quick to get get repair done and back on the water. The pricing was beyond reasonable and fair. The last time it was a maintenance repair, they found the issues, let me have the boat back so we could go boating a few times while waiting on parts and then called when it part's were in and got the repair done in a day. They also found an engine issues that would soon cause a critical failure if not repaired soon. So for a few $$ the saved m a critical failure later. My boat drives better than new now. I wish I would have found then 25 years ago when I started boating. Would have saved me time and money. As great as they are, I hope to not see them again but I own a boat and repairs are part of the game. I'll be calling barefoot Watersports for all repairs.

I was searching for a company making boat covers out of recyclable material like sunbrella and was…read morehappy to find Nick and his shop. They made a custom cover for my 14ft dinghy so that I can keep it fully rigged in dry storage with enough space under the boom to keep lines and other essentials dry and protected from the sun. Worked out really well and I couldn't be happier.

These folks made a WONDERFUL Canoe Cover for me in Sunbrella. Beautiful work and great price!read more

The whole experience from beginning to end was great. Highly recommend. Tina Marie We purchased our pontoon from Foothills Marie of Lake Norman and could not be more pleased with the outstanding service and value in all departments. My wife and I visited several boat dealers in the Lake Norman area and settled here at Foothill Marine. We were greeted by a pleasant attentive staff and a very clean show room. My wife and I would like to thank ED in sales who took great care of us right from the start. Ed is extremely knowledgeable in explaining all of the differences of several models and layouts. He made sure that all of our questions were answered. Foothills Hills Marie has a wide selection of boats to choose from and made our experience a pleasure, no pushy sales pitches whatsoever. They delivered our pontoon in perfect order as promised. ED went over the entire pontoon prior to us heading out. We had a GPS/fishfinder installed as well as the second battery prior to pickup. The install was done professionally on both units and delivered on time. Ed did a fantastic job keeping us up-to-date on the delivery and made sure everything was going smoothly as promised. He checked in on us on us after the sale as well to make sure we are 100% satisfied and to see if we needed anything. We would also like to thank Danya in the finance department who made our purchase go very smoothly and had all of our documents in order and ready to go right on time as well. We were then greeted by Josh who thanked us for our business at foothills Marine and discussed the proper break in procedures and answered any questions or concerns we had. Josh put us on the water and made sure everything on board was working as it should. He verified the Coast Guard package that was included on board and took us out to get comfortable with our new pontoon. Foothills Marine is a class act. We couldn't be happier with The professionalism, honesty and all-around good nature working with the Marine dealer who truly enjoys what they do and do it very well. We are really enjoying our new pontoon and wouldn't hesitate to do business with the foothills marina Lake Norman in the future. Stop in and see their selections and meet their staff. They will take great care of you. Dan
