Shorts Marine is nothing but a bunch of CROOKS. They charged me 320.00 to adjust my shift cables that they had taken apart when they serviced my Bennington Pontoon and Evenrude. I tried talking to the service manager, telling him that the boat had not been used. He said the cable came loose by setting. That is not so, I have talked to several mechanic's and they tell me the cables would only come loose by being used. I asked for a refund of my money almost 2 months ago and to this date I have not heard from anyone. I gav... read more

This is a terrible company to deal with. This company has terrible customer service skills. They don't care about their customers whatsoever and talk trash behind their backs. Stay far away from these people.

Our lights would not come on unless we pulled the fuse and messed with it until it worked and the depth finder was not reliable either. In 2019, they supposedly fixed the depth finder, but the display shows that it's not even connected.... read more

Purchased an outboard motor online from Short's. They excelled in two areas, accepting payment (they are great at that) and shipping. The lady that set up my shipping was very professional and was excellent at her job and the motor arrived in four days. Unfortunately the outboard had an issue which is the downside to not being near the dealer. While the person that set up the delivery was top notch their service department was by far the worst I have ever encountered in any establishment(as pointed out in many of their rev... read more

We purchased our 23.5’ BayLiner from Short’s Marine during June 2017. This boat purchase was to celebrate two events, my birthday, and in keeping with a promise I made to myself while spending 8 months eating sand during Desert Shield/Storm. I vowed always, when practical, to have available some type of boat . However, we did not realize this purchase would serve as the worst experience in our 30+ years boating and boat ownership. If I read of this same experience by someone else I would question its validity. After all, ... read more
