Goodhue Boat Company on Ossipee Lake

Here’s a polished review for you: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Goodhue Boat Company in Virginia! From start to finish, the entire team was incredible to work with. Renee and Kavyn were especially knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with, making our out-of-state purchase smooth and stress-free. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference, and we couldn’t be happier. If you’re in the market for a new boat, we highly recommend reaching out to Kavyn—you won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Goodhue Boat Company, for an amazing experience!

We unfortunately had a less than positive interaction with Goodhue this past summer. First they rented us a boat from the location that was the furthest from where we were staying- and when we found out would not change the pick up location Second- they rented us a boat that proved to have engine problems - a bent shaft- this they never acknowledged a faulty starter that prevented us from using the boat for a full day (they had to tow the boat back to the marina and did not leave us a replacement) --- Third- a bit silly but they never told us we needed to take a written test to drive the boat we rented and paid for in full -- and I showed up to pick up the boat without my glasses- yup i of course failed the written test then when we managed to cause our own problems on the replacement boat ( we bent a shaft) they were quick to assess full damages without consideration for the problems with the boats noted above.

We brought our older boat there in April to be repaired. We had an ongoing problem that had been an issue for three years and the previous boat repair person just couldn’t find the issue. We spoke to Harry a few times before dropping it off in April. And he had called with possible fixes before he did any work. We agreed to the ignition being replaced and it seems to be working great again. They really seem to know what they’re doing for repair of an older boat. - a bayliner specifically-

It was a pleasure doing business with Tim, Kendra, Brian and the rest of the staff at Goodhue Boat Company. Everyone I spoke with was courteous, professional and answered all my questions and concerns. I would rate them more than 5 stars if it was allowed. Our small lake community in California does not allow gas powered watercrafts and my wife is not too keen on getting on one of our kayaks. We were searching for different types pedal powered boats like the 2 - 4 seater plastic ones when we came across the Paddle Qwest on YouTube that we fell in love with but couldn’t find any in the west coast, in fact, we couldn’t even find a used one anywhere. Also, Apex Marine stopped making them. Last year I came across Goodhue’s website and they had 2 brand new Paddle Qwest pontoons available. I paid a deposit right away to secure one and paid it off after. I completed the purchase nearing end of fall and with severe weather bearing down most of the country, I felt it unsafe to have this boat and trailer towed. Tim was very nice to offer storing it through the winter/early spring. I finally had contracted a someone from Citizen Shipper to tow it and now my family is enjoying our boat. Many thanks again to all the staff at Goodhue Boat Company for such a wonderful purchasing experience!

I normally don’t post reviews but I had a great experience. The staff was great. I rented a boat but needed to take a 25 minute timed test in order to get a temporary license. I have boating experience so I was able to pass test. The staff was very friendly and attentive during the entire process. The condition reports before and after the rental are very thorough. I honestly can’t see how this could be a problem for any renters. I was very pleased with everything and would like to say thank you
