Taylor's Boats is probably a descent place to buy ...
Taylor's Boats is probably a descent place to buy a new boat, but if you plan to purchase a used boat be very careful. I am simply trying to inform perspective buyers here rather than bash because it's more productive. When you buy something from Taylors Boats it's easy to feel more comfortable because they say they have had two separate mechanics inspect the boat thoroughly, NOT TRUE (unless maybe their doing it blindfolded just to be fair). My boat had many things wrong with it. It also didn't have some stuff mentioned in advertising (heater) which is my fault for trusting them. If you buy a used boat here, then inspect it and test it out just like you would from an individual because once you leave the lot they will tell you it was fine when it left and you will be very angry. Take the boat on the water check engine acceleration seems normal, steering, blower, bilge, heater, all ballast tanks fill and drain, shower, surf gate, wedge,boat lights, trailor lights, tires, bunks, stereo. speakers individually, subwoofer, depth gauge, speedometer, rudder, prop, board forks etc.
Inconclusion, if you buy a used boat here and thoroughly inspect it yourself and know what to look for you'll probably be fine. If you don't know much about boats and you are trusting them simply because they are a dealer then you may find yourself in the same boat as me.
Many ratings here are also spot on when it comes to returning phone calls. This has been going on for years if you look at the reviews, which tells me management does not see it as a problem. When you spend close to $100,000 on a boat it makes your blood boil.
Hope this helps my fellow boaters
