  Bart was outstanding, he educated us on all things tritoon. We stopped in after seeing the sign on the freeway and Bart spent three hours with us going over everything. There was no pressure to buy, in fact he recommended we look at something used and get our feet wet. We actually left and turned around and went back to look at the Bennington 23SXSRC that was covered outside. We loved it and actually made an offer the next day that was accepted. Signed on our first boat with Lesley who was very easy to deal with on financing. Can't wait to get it in the water in the spring.

  We had the pleasure of purchasing our first boat recently from Clemons. We vetted many local boat dealers in the Sandusky area and by far Clemons stood well above the rest. Jon and Leslie were fantastic to work with and made the process as easy as it gets. If you’re in the market for a boat and looking for genuine people who put zero pressure on you to purchase I recommend Clemons without reservation!

  I was so excited to purchase a larger boat as we have a smaller duck boat. Bought our 2021 NauticStar from Clemons and have had nothing but problems since. Started out that the salesman was no longer employed there and the boat deck cushions we were told came with the boat when purchased did not, they did make that right by ordering them for us. Bottom of the boat was to be painted before they put it in the water(at dock we rent here). When the boat was pulled out for the next winter they told us we needed to paint the bottom (we paid for paint and they didn’t charge labor) they told us this was never done when we purchased it as agreed upon. Next season after winter storage and services (including oil change) boat stopped running shortly after launch and we were told it looked like something had wrapped around the motor and caused it to seize. Insurance company stated that it looked like there was no oil in lower unit, luckily we had additional insurance coverage. Upon further inspection they stated it looked like someone had “gorilla glued” our motor together. We have only had service performed at their service center as they do every aspect, from us buying the boat from them, they pull for the season, store and winterize as well as doing all of the services for our boat. Now somehow someone has “gorilla glued” the motor?!? Insurance company had us sign a form stating all work had been performed at this location only. Dredging took place not long ago I was asked to take keys in so they could move my boat if necessary, they still have not contacted me stating this was completed, nor returned my boat to my rented dock and there is someone else’s boat in it. This season they have now conveniently forgotten to send us information on winter storage. Should have known loyalty to a small community company in which we thought would be better than dealing with a large corporation would end up like this. Thanks for your loyalty to your customers!! Super sad 😔

  I live about 3 hours from Sandusky (Clemons Boats). Last August I called Jon and stated I wished to purchase a Montauk 190. I wanted it completely outfitted for fishing with auto pilot installed. By the next day Jon had finalized the price and ordered the boat. ETA was early winter. Boat came in as promised and Leslie helped us fill out the paperwork as we were in Florida. Arranged to pick up in April. The dealer had assigned Ryan for our orientation. Ryan was awesome as he took into account my previous experience. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised to find the boat fully equipped with all safety gear and ropes. We just completed a salmon fishing trip on Lake Ontario and could not have been happier. Auto pilot worked great under all wind direction. Trolling speed with the 150 was perfect. Bottom line we couldn’t be happier.
