EXCELLENTTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased a Hewescraft Alaskan from Erie Marine Sales. Jason was excellent to work with. This was a big purchase for our family and I had a million questions. He was so patient and answered every question honestly and accurately. If he didn’t know that answer he figured it out and got back to me right away. Rodney and Anthony were super friendly and knowledgeable and thorough when it came to rigging the boat. They took the time and installed it the right way. Everything was thought out and placed perfectly. The whole business goes above and beyond to make sure that your purchasing experience is excellent. We are so impressed with the boat but even more blown away by the follow through after the sale to ensure that we are happy with our purchase and that we are taken care of. I would highly recommend them. It is truly a great boat buying experience with them.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I flew in from Rogers Arkansas. My flight was delayed and we arrived very late. Not to mention the renal car. All that quickly went away after meeting Jason in person. He was very accommodating and met us without question even though it was very late. They made the buying experience seamless. I had them deliver the boat to Rogers. Dave was very professional. He communicated throughout the 872 mile trip. Delivered the rig timely and in perfect condition! I highly recommend buying a boat at Erie Marine Sales. I know my next rig will be purchased here.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the gold standard in our area for boat dealers. Zero pressure, answered all of my questions gave fair and honest options of each make and model. I work crazy hours and they stayed well past closing numerous times and even opened up on a Sunday just for me to look. Couldn't be happier with the experience with Erie Marine. Truly the best.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a North River boat from Erie Marine Sales. I did some shopping around at different places but kept coming back to Erie. Their customer service was everything you could ask for, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable on everything that they sell. In my opinion they go above and beyond to make sure that your purchasing experience is top notch! We came from out of state and the staff even gave us recommendations on where to stay for the night when we got in. When I am in the market to purchase another boat I will definitely be going to see Brian and his staff at Erie Marine Sales.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
