I purchased a new boat trailer from Tyler. He did a great job having the trailer prepared and all of the paperwork taken care when I arrived. I would highly recommend Lakeside Marine to anyone who wants to work with a professional company.

Tyler Poteat was very professional and took really good care of me. I traded trailers and got a brand new one from them and he was a man of his words and gave me what he said he would over the phone. I traveled 2 1/2 hours to Lakeside and would do it again. I highly recommend them for trailer sales and anything else you need for boat are jet ski. Honest reliable people there.

I purchased a Jetski and trailer from Tyler through a consignment sale. Tyler handled the sale very professionally. I found a hidden problem with the jetski, Tayler quickly responded, had the issue analyzed, and ordered the part then had the part installed. After I got the ski back we found one more issue. Tayler again was VERY quick to respond, sent out his team to get the ski from my home. They took the ski out on the lake the day of pickup and found the issue and delivered the ski back to my home. I definitely would recommend Lakeside Marine for the service and attentiveness Tayler represents
