Godfrey Marine - Poor quality control - Image 2
The Aqua Patio 275 CBE pontoon is beautifully designed, comfortable and powerful vessel. With the $130K price tag, it is expected to be a true luxury boat. However, at only 20 hours, this brand-new pontoon experiencing a long list of defects, mainly with the electrical system. Some of those problems could be only fixed by the Godfrey / Yamaha dealer, which is 90 miles away by land. The Godfrey quality control is inferior. I would not look for the two-engine model as I was thinking initially.

Pros:
  • Beautiful design
  • Powerful engine
  • Style and comfort
Cons:
  • Certified dealer is far away from austin area

Preferred solution: Revision of the quality control process at the company, and explanation how could they sell such expensive product having so many defects.

User's recommendation: Consider a Bennington instead of Godfrey.

Terrible customer service

They NEVER WILL TALK TO THE CUSTOMER . No warranty item is easy to deal with. Made poorly, even the dealership can not get answers.

Changing the heart

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Godfrey Marine - Changing the heart
Dear Sir/Madam, I am the owner of the brand-new Aqua Patio 275CBE. I intended to ride this boat for a season or two and then upgrade it to the two-engine model. Never mind; as it only accumulated 20 hours, the list of defects is growing up and up. I would never expect such poor quality control from a luxury brand. I should buy the Bennington instead and save all the trouble. I am based on Lake Travis; my nearest Godfrey dealer is about 90 miles away; the warranty service is unpractical. Seriously, for the $130K price, this is a bad experience. Thank you. Mike Kram, Lago Vista, Texas

User's recommendation: Be aware of the inferior quality control. The Aqua Patio boats are beautiful and comfortable, but having many defects, mainly in the electric system assembly.

Bimini top

I will n ver perches a Godfrey product again. We all know a Bimini top will not last as the boat. You discontinue perching a top after 2018. Thats not right. Now I have to have one made for double the cost.

Stain on seats cushions from canvas top

Black canvas top bleed into the seats leaving a dark stain. I contacted Godfrey and I did receive a call from Godfrey. I sent pictures of the stain but I have not heard back from them to see if they received the pictures or if there is a resolution. In the meantime, we sold the pontoon, and I told the new owner if I got any word from Godfrey, I would pass it on to him.

User's recommendation: It’s a great pontoon however, the dealership we purchased it from there’s no longer in business so I wasn’t able to resolve the issue with h them

Boat not delivered as promissed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered a boat on 9-1-2021 and was promised it by 4-1-2022. It is STILL NOT IN. There is also no way to get in touch with the factory to check on status. Only the dealer can E MAIL for status and gets the run around as well. Very unprofessional company. Refund of deposit is also NOT a option even though they did not perform.

The factory rep has called me and told me that I would have it by the end of JULY, then he called and said the middle of August MAYBE. In NJ our boating season ends a little after labor day so this does me no good.

In Contact with Godfrey Marine. They want my marine tech.on Keuka Lake to check cable steering for proper steering cable length.

Godfrey's bill of materials can't confirm that the proper cable length at build was correct. I'm waiting for my tech.

to have the time to come over ( his busy season) to confirm steering cable length. Tom Edelman

I love my new Hurricane 2200 DC

I took delivery from Lakeside Marina in Oshkosh WI. So many new improvements from my old 2004 model. I really love it. I only have one suggestion for improvement. The boarding ladders front and rear could be a little wider. it's a little hard to put both feet on the rung when boarding and the rung itself could be a little wider. Other than that it's a beautiful boat on the water. Thank you!

Godfrey will not return my call as to exact delivery date. Purchaser beware! They promised the world and did not live up to our agreement. Very poor management.

Beautiful boats, cheaply made, same parts break over and over

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
If you purchase a boat new and the same parts have to be replaced year after year, the company should make sure the problem has been fixed even if the warranty expires! Godfrey boat is a LEMON. Covers destroyed seats, replaced both, still happening. Stereo lights and electrical, have to be fixed or replaced each year! Dash came apart, lounger stopped working, So if you want a boat that stays in he shop instead of the water.Godfrey Marine is for you! If you want something dependable.Buy something else!

Pros:
  • Appear high-quality
Cons:
  • Cheaply made
  • Repeat problems that are never fixed

Preferred solution: I would like the problems fixed once and for all or buy the boat back

SUGGESTION FOR A DASH/COMPARTMENT STORAGE

DEAR GODFREY COMPANY, PLEASE ADD A DASH/STORAGE CHAMBER IN FRONT OF THE CAPTAIN SEAT. PLENTY OF WASTED SPACE THERE. BOATERS NEED A COMPARTMENT TO STORE THEIR REGISTRATION, WALLET, CELL PHONE, KEYS, ETC. OLDER MODELS OFFER THIS OPTION. IT SHOULD STILL BE PART OF THE LAYOUT. THANKS FOR READING AND TAKING INTO CONNSIDERATION!
