Everyone kept telling me they couldn't even look at it for 2 weeks and that it would most likely be costly from what I was describing. I had just about thrown in the towel when I asked and got a tip from a girl that lives in the area and works at Jo Jo's (a great local store). She spoke highly of them because her dad gets all his service there. I trailered my boat and drove it over to Lane's End. I was greeted by the service manager (think his name was Tim?) who was so much more professional than people at other marina's I had been dealing with. He looked things over quick and you could just tell that he really knew what he was talking about. He gave me some prices up front and told me how long he thought it would take. I had my boat back in the water in just 2 days (and that was only because they had to get a part for it). And they were 100% fair on cost. It is rare anymore that a business will find you in a desperate situation and not try to take advantage of you............Can't say enough about how great they were. I will recommend this place to everyone.

We had a problem with the engine idle on the MerCruiser engine in our boat…read more The first place I called wanted to charge me $150 per hour to come tow our boat to their marina to run diagnostics on the engine, and they wouldn't be able to do it for at least a week. Nope. Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent. (Especially considering I just got here for my week of summer vacation, so if I wait for this place, my vacation will be done and I won't have used the boat at all.) Independent Marine sent someone to our place the same day. I think we called around 10 a.m. and James came to our place around 1:30 p.m. He quickly figured out what the problem was, showed me what was causing it and what part needed to be replaced. I'm sure he would have done it for me if I wasn't up to the task, but he was happy to teach me / show me what was wrong and let me do it myself.

There was a problem with it, and Independent Marine addressed it quickly and at no charge. When it had a different problem, they took it back as a trade for the full price I paid applied to a different boat. I can't detail all the different ways they went above and beyond for me. I found the GM Janice to be honest and responsive. I will be storing my boat there over the winter. I highly recommend Independent Marine, and have suggested to my brother that he get a boat from them.

They installed their spare battery plus took it back out afterwards when we got to their marina. On top of that, the guy who did the work was so friendly and explained what we needed to do when we got back to our marina. Just five star service for complete strangers. We could have been in a much crappier situation, and we are so grateful they decided to stop and help. If you're looking for a marina, I would 20/10 recommend.

Yes, I was the first to review Trexler's on Yelp in 2017. I bought a pontoon boat from Trexler's…read moreand had been getting winter storage and service from them for 7 winters and 8 summers. Without warning I got a call from Scott on Labor Day weekend, and he informed me that he no longer wanted to store and service my boat. He said it was a transport safety issue because of the configuration of my boat, but if I had a trailer it would be fine. So I went to get a proper fitted trailer for it, only to find out, this time from Denise, that my toon was too big (like the other 35 toons stored there?) unwieldy (like the other 35 toons stored there?), they are trying to get away from shrink-wrapping boats (like the other 35 toons stored there?) and they are shorthanded (I believe this one may be true). So, I stared at her as she lied to me, and just smiled at her. I'm not dumb, I get the message... As a full-timer resident at the lake, I spoke to a few of my Moultonborough friends, who have been living here for a whole lot longer than I have. They told me that they had seen it before from Trexler's (and 2 others). Apparently, they knock out lower-value customers to get higher-value ones when they are full. It's a business decision based on two things. First, Scott likely made a number of $100,000 scores in new boat sales this summer, and the owners of course expect winter storage, and second, all I ever pay to them, other than winter storage fees, is an oil change every 2 years. Between the two, I am just not worth it to them. Too small a fish, it would seem, when so many whales are right in front of them. It's even possible that they decided who would have to go much earlier than September. If that is so, waiting so long to tell me before the winter storage time is really a "low-rent" move, indeed. Thankfully, with the new trailer, my choices for boatyards went way up. I found a replacement, and unlike Trexler's, most of the marinas have a much better reputation in how they treat their long-term customers. I was smart enough to check them out with my longer-term lake friends this time. I bring this up to stress to you that, (1) you should always solicit ideas from your full-time lake boat-owner friends before selecting a boatyard. It is small up here, and everyone knows everyone. You can easily get info on who the reputable and not reputable folks are. Most of the boatyard owners know that word-of-mouth is an important part of their sustainable business, but let's face it, it's boom times up here, so the allure of more and easy money is strong. (2) if you have your boat stored and serviced at Trexler's, including the folks who just bought those $100,000 boats from them, you may become a long timer with them for years, but have minimal boat issues. I would warn you to be on the lookout for that Labor Day weekend call. You won't know when your number comes up! In the end, it's a business decision, and that trumps everything. No hard feelings, old chap!

They set up the camper as they said they would, but when we walked in, there was a stench like something died. We searched everywhere for the location of the smell and tracked it to the kitchen sink. It was horrible - it appears they never drained the gray water or deodorized the tank. We didn't cook in the camper - there were only 2 of us. We just took 2 very short showers, and the tank was full, and the bathtub backed up. We called and emailed them for assistance, and they didn't email or call us back - in fact, they never returned our call. We tried to air out the camper every day to no avail. The mattress had so much "balled up" material and pilling, you could feel it from sheets and blankets. There was dust everywhere and mold on the bathroom drain. We ended up getting very sick from sleeping in the camper. My husband had to go to urgent care to get medicine. We are fit people who take care of ourselves. Our friends also rented a nicer camper (no smell and newer). They were told the fuel was full, but they ran out within a few days. We all cooked outside, so this should not have happened. This was an unfortunate and skeevy experience. I am not a person who writes reviews but will tell you DO NOT RENT FROM THEM!
