I would not recommend getting your boat serviced by Bayside Marine. They ruined my boat. I…read morebrought it in for just a tune up and to check the impeller. They replaced the plugs and the water pump(impeller was part of this). When Bayside did a lake test, one of the hosing the pushes water through the exhausted popped up. Which created an excessive amount of heat that melted the paint of the exhaust and damaged wiring. They did not tell me this when I picked up the boat. I noticed it before I left their dock and called it out to them. They did try to repair the damage but ever since I have had nothing but problems. The boat was in perfect condition prior to them working on it. Won't be back to them every again. Many other good shops on the lake.

Dear all at Anchor Marine,…read more I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to reach out to extend my gratitude for all that you did for me and my family and the high quality of service you delivered. As you are aware my ninety year old mother had been in possession of the boat you restored for many years. Most of my siblings were of the opinion that the best thing to do would be either to sell it for parts or junk it, as it had been years since it had been used. I felt differently and so did my mom. We both thought if there was a chance to repair the boat and take it out again, it was absolutely worth a shot. Our first experiences looking for help with repairs was disastrous. One individual recommended by a a reliable boat store once under contract took the boat and various parts and disappeared, We had to get law enforcement involved. For over a year we struggled with this getting the boat back into shape was becoming a more and more distant hope. Enter: Anchor Marine. When we first took the boat into Anchor Marine, we were met by the owner Vic Cossette and his incredible team. The boat was identified and respected as not just some old junky tub. It's a Glastron CVX 16 with a 115 motor my 90 year old mother put in it. This boat is the boat that made several appearances in none other than James Bond's Live and Let Die! Vic and his crew went above and beyond. They were determined to bring the boat back to its original condition and the passion that these individuals have for their vocation was evident from the start. Often I would get a call detailing their search as for a part that they felt was essential to its restoration. They went the extra mile simply due to their passing for their work. The boat went from being covered in tree sap and a home to mice during the winter to an unbelievably beautiful restored Glastron. I believe it now looks even better than when it was originally purchased by my mother all those years ago. The boat cannot be taken out without being stopped by admirers wherever we go! It is next to impossible to find this quality of service. Vic and his team treated us with the utmost respect, made time to communicate clearly with us their plans and what they hoped and realistically believed could be achieved. They treated the boat as if it were their own. It is impossible to understate the quality of their work . If I could leave 100 stars I would. This was one of my mother's dreams realized. At 90 years old she's back on the water in her boat.

He set up our lures and my mom and I caught Walleye, Freshwater Drum fish as quick as we put our lines in. Josh was very patient in untangling our lines, and gave us some excellent advice. Absolutely a great experience!

The boat was nice and clean (maybe 2-3 years old showed some signs of use/wear/tear). Try to carpool with your group, as there isn't much parking.
