FVM Boat Sales & Service

Fred knows his stuff. He has decades of experience and he and his staff do a wonderful job telling you exactly what work you need done and why. Nothing is ever a surprise with them. The work is high quality and I have nothing but great things to say about FVM! I just took my motor in to replace lower unit seals as I was getting water in the lower unit...they told me what I needed to have done, and what other things I should have done as taking the lower unit apart is expensive....so some things like the water pump/impeller should be redone at the same time to save some bucks. I highly recommend Fred and his staff...which happen to be his family!

Marvelous family owned and operated business!! My friend and I purchased a beautiful RV at an extremely reasonable price! Owner and his daughter are fantastic people and enjoyable to do business with. Can't say enough good things about them! Bravo 5***** 's. I will be back thus Summer to purchase my pontoon boat from them with confidence. Very trustworthy staff! Thank you very much!

I brought my 1978 series 207 SRV to Fred to have the Mercruiser Alpha 1 Gen 1 Outdrive rebuilt using a donor drive I bought for the job. I said to keep another 2000 and he did but when I went back later for some help, he said he didn’t have a mechanic that could work on my boat and he could help me no further. I asked him if he felt the other responsibility to support a customer. He again said he didn’t have a mechanic that worked work on my boat and that was it. Just like that game over, I lose. I got mad, said a few things and stormed out. I regret losing my cool and would’ve appreciated a referral to someone who could fix the boat but Fred didn’t want to bother. I think Fred does good mechanical work but is subject to his emotions, and on a bad day, you don’t want to be there. It’s too bad because he has knowledge and talent and as a former Sea Ray boat dealer, he had to have good service and support. I am a successful business owner selling equipment and service to my customers. If a customer comes to me with a problem with equipment bought elsewhere, I will still help him with service or provide a referral and do anything I can to get them support.

DO NOT TRUST THIS GUY! He sold me a radar head that is not compatible with the display. After having Raymarine and a local Marine Electronics company state that these two units are not meant to be together, Fred refuses to take it back or do anything to remedy the issue. Buyers beware of FVM Boat Sales and Service. Response to them: You are so wrong... I bought it from Fred, who owns FVM Boat Sales and Service (you). We talked on the phone through your business number, I was in your shop and paid FVM for the unit. I am not sure how that doesn't have anything to do with FVM. The problem is that you probably could do this stuff to people before online reviews and get away with it. Now as I see your reviews, I wish I knew better. Good luck with your business... you may need it if this is your reputation.

I have been dealing with Fred and his team since 2000 when bought my first boat. I have had the pleasure of dealing with some of the most honest and consistent business people ever. They have never not failed to help out and I have had some very unusual problems with my various boats over the years. I also feel the the value of their services and products are in line with the very reasonable charges. Thanks to FVM and I look forward to many years of service.
