Report
Just finished my first season with a Cobalt boat, and had it serviced by The Harbors service department. In both an earlier issue with a surf tab actuator and my winterization this week, the people in the service department were excellent! Robert, Ron, and the whole team were prompt, efficient, and great to work with. And Buddy in parts was very patient and courteous in answering questions about some additions that I am interested in doing to my boat. All in all, I am extremely impressed with The Harbor, and the service and parts departments specifically.

We have been with the Harbor for about 15 years. They keep their docks very clean and maintained. We have also sold and purchased boats through their dealership and it has always been a good experience. The service department is even top notch! Great Marine, Great Owners and Great Staff!

Hank and the guys at the Harbor have been great to work with. They have put up with me and all the questions and requests I have had through the whole process of purchasing our boat. We test drove several boats to decide which one was perfect for our family. We finally decided on the R7 Surf. Thank you all at the Harbor for excellent service to me and my family. We will be a lifetime customer because of it.
