In stock
July 10, 2024

When I'm ordering parts, I need to know the parts are coming so when I tell my customer the parts were in stock, I can give a timeline when his boat will be done. Only to find out the in stock part(s) aren't always in stock. Recently I even called in to make sure the parts were there, only to find out what I was told wasn't the truth.

NO Customer Service
July 5, 2024

I purchased a bolt ($20 including shipping), that is no longer available. According to Sea Ray and to Boats.net website, they had the needed bolt. However the only picture of the bolt was the part number on the package but not a photo of the bolt. I received the bolt and it was not the right one. It was the bolt that Boats.net said was the right one but they were mistaken. I contacted customer service to get a return authorization and they wanted to verify my engine number. I sent that to the and have not heard anything back. I am still wanting to return the improper bolt but all I get is CRICKETS! Not very happy with their way of doing business. I would suggest anyone needing a part especially an obsolete part to check eBay first and exhaust every other option before doing business with these Clowns. I would give them a ZERO but that was not an option. Don't expect customer service to return your email beyond them asking for your engine serial number. Horrible Business Model!

Great supplier
July 5, 2024

I had to order a Yamaha fuel pump. Their diagrams were very detailed, The price was competitive, and was received 3 days before anticipated shipping date.

I have used other suppliers in the past. Not anymore. My go-to is Boats.net.

I can promise you this is not a scam. We go to great lengths to ensure the packages ordered arrive on time. I can tell you for instance that 95.3% of the time all orders with expedited shipping going to your state arrive in 1-3 business days as expected. Clearly the carrier has let us both down here. I will also send you a direct message to discuss additional order details.

My item that was ordered from Boats.net never arrived. They sent it via a shipper that uses UPS for the main transportation and then USPS for actual delivery. From this experience and other ones in the past, this is not reliable. My package showed out for delivery and then wasn't delivered, nor have then been any subsequent attempts at delivery. Now UPSP does not even show the package being in their possession. Boats.net should select a reliable shipper, not one of these hybrid situations. I will reorder the needed part from a different vendor that ships either through UPS or FedEx.

Angie and George were two of nicest people I have dealt with in a very long time. I had an issue with a part I had ordered. Angie not only made sure it was the correct part but then connected me with George the technician who provided further information….THANK YOU BOTH.
