Y Marina, Inc.

we purchased a 22′ bayliner trophy outboard from them in 2013. we live in sacramento, ca. they said the boat was fine andthey would meet us in redding to deliver the boat. we met in redding as aggraded and I took off for home. got home and I could not get the outboard to start. call y marine was told to take it to a good marina and have it looked at. did that and was told it was in need of some small repairs. $ 1100.00. had the work done, sent y marine the bill got a check for the full amount. we had our son purchase a boat also and the same thing. meat in redding and his boat has had no problems at all. if I were to purchase another boat I would have no problem getting it from y marine.

My husband and I just purchased a Willie’s Predator from Mike Carr at Y-​Marina Inc. and we are very satisfied with both the purchase and the service we received. Mike provided excellent customer service and really expedited the process along with the help of his office staff, Debbie and Amber. The boat was purchased for my husband as a birthday present and thanks to the excellent and speedy service Y-​Marina provided, my husband’s birthday will be one that he’ll remember for the rest of his life. Thank you!

I drove 18 hours round trip to purchase a boat from Y Marina. I dealt with Paul over the phone/​internet. Paul game me a great price to buy the boat right away without the typical back and forth. I arranged a sunday pickup. When we arrived we were greeted by Scott who took us back and started the boat and showed us how to work everything. We then hooked the boat up and headed back to our home in central California. We brought the boat home and took it out fishing immediately. We had a couple minor issues with the way it ran. I called down to have them trouble shoot it for me. I even received a call the next day from Paul asking if everything got taken care of and to see if the boat was running ok. I told him I had to take it to my local mechanic to get a couple thing repaired. He then asked for my receipts and reimbursed me in full. I couldn’t be happier with the purchase of my boat from Paul & Scott.
P.S.
Already caught a 59″ sturgeon and a 32lb striper! Great karma from the Y Marina team!!!

I bought a boat from Scott and the experience was great. Scott went out of his way to get me the boat I wanted at a good price that was the best I could find. The service dept. has a new service director, Kurt, and he is knowledgable and made sure the service was done right and at a fair price. From what I heard the problems were with the old service manager who is gone now. I couldn’t be happier.

We have had nothing but problems with Y Marina, with over $ 16,000 in repairs in just the first year alone on a used boat deemed «excellent condition». First off I need to say that there was another poor rating with the same problems as ours on here, but somehow it is gone. The one time we don’t look at Unilocal first before making a purchase. Started off with driving 516 miles one way to get our boat, which we had set up a week in advance. The alternator is not working but they tell us to drive it back and they will pay the cost of the alternator and the install. I asked if the surge brakes worked on the trailer and they assure me it does since I am towing a 21′ Bayliner trophy behind my Toyota Tacoma. Found out later that they didn’t work and if they had the right brake was so bad that it would have froze up if it worked. Thanks for putting my wife and my life in danger. Finally get the alternator in and it takes over a week to get it started, turns out both batteries are shot. A week later we are being towed back to the marina because the engine overheated (IDLER
PULLEY BEARING FROZEN). That was fun, drifting towards anchored ships and the anchor not catching as we are being pulled by the outgoing tide. Oh I forgot to mention that they did such a great job inspecting the boat that we found urine still in the toilet from the last customer. that was a nice surprise. Gimble bearing went out within 3 weeks, kicker motor not working in 4 weeks, constant electrical issues where the battery will drain with just the ship to shore radio on, turns out the wiring harness is corroded, the list goes on and on in a nutshell the whole motor was basically rebuilt and the first year we had the boat, it was in the shop for all of it except for a total of 4 months. We got a lawyer for the lemon law, Y-​marina dragged their feet and the best offer that they could give us is to buy back our boat at our cost, but we have to buy another one from them — heck no, you think we are going to trust them and want to give them more business. They were also upset with our review on here that my wife wrote and said that if we took it down they would deal with us. We did and they didn’t, so here we are again, over a year and half later and we are still having electrical issues and we cant take our boat anywhere because the brakes are shot. When I contacted the manager of Y-​marina and told him our problems and what we wanted, he did say that we are experiencing more than usual problems with the boat, but there was nothing he was going to do. So I ask you. Is this someone you want to do business with?

I called for a price to service my outboard motor, Jeff in service quoted me $ 125.00. I dropped the outboard off and Jeff called me that afternoon, he told me the engine needed $ 725.00 of work to fix the problems. I went in to pick up the outboard, and Jeff made me wait for 25 min, he was very rude and then handed me a bill for $ 166.00. as asked him why the bill was so much, because they did not even service the outboard! bottom line, I take the motor home and it starts up and runs fine! Jeff flat out lied about the problems and still took my $ 166.00.
