We bought the 230 from Boat House in Topeka, KS nearly 6 years ago. They were a great dealer. They made us an unbelievable deal on a boat we were ordering without any haggling, and they bent over backward on warranty and service work. A couple of years ago I had the boat there for service and I called them on a Wednesday afternoon to see when it would be done. To my shock I was told not only would the boat not be done, all boats had to be off the property by close of business Friday - they were closing the doors.
For lack of a better option, I started taking the boat to Lakeside Marine Service on the far west side of Topeka - much farther out of the way than Boat House already was. But, as happy as I'd been with Boat House, Lakeside's service has been even better. It's a family owned dealer, they do a great job on service, they have a full service 'glass shop run by one of the best 'glass guys in the business, and they're nice to do business with. The only thing is, they've had no relationship with FW.
Today a postcard came in the mail:
Really, the place looks like it was hit by a tornado and then rebuilt... sort of. The good stuff is from the people who do the work there. The showroom normally has 3 'toons, nothing else. But I'd order a boat from them, assuming the price was fair. (Boat House was no palace either; many years ago it was a furniture store.)
