My wife and I are first time boat owners/boaters and we had no idea what we were doing. I can honestly say that I never felt taken advantage of and that Kurt was very honest with us. We got an amazing deal on a 2013 Monterey 184 FSX with only 136 hours on it. We took delivery of it yesterday and already put ~4 hours on it. Boat runs great and is great for my wife, dog and me. Thanks again Kurt!π
I recently reached out to Roger about a boat he posted. He quickly replied and said it was spoken for and the gentleman was working on financing, but he would take down my information and call me if any comparable boats came into his shop. I didnβt know if I would ever hear from GBB again, but low and behold he called. The deal didnβt work out for the other person, and true to his word, he called me. I am a first time boater and had a million questions which he answered graciously. We agreed to terms and it was the best decision for me and my family. He even recommended a Captain to get on the water and show me the ropes (who was awesome - Captain Ken). Super knowledgeable, accommodating, flexible and just an awesome trustworthy person and business. I will recommend these guys and use them time and time again. Iβd give 10 stars if I could.
Roger and his staff provided us a great boat buying experience! Very honest, professional, and helpful. We would highly recommend using them. They gave us great advice on safety, maintenance and towing and made the entire transaction easy and seamless.
I bought a Jet ski from Kurt and Roger. They represented the ski exactly how it was in the photos. They took the time to get to know me and made sure I got a Jet ski that would fit my needs. If your looking for a family friendly oriented business, choose Georgia Boat Brokers!
We bought a boat from Roger and Curt earlier this summer. The experience was seamless, from the initial meeting through financing and the lake test. These guys know boats and were a great resource.
These guys are fantastic!!!β The buy and sell fantastic boats. They also send me a bunch of work and have helped me get my business to where it is today!!! Thanks so much.
Mr. Roger Wingate gets a single star because Google will not allow me to give him what he earned (0 Stars). I drove 12 hours, one way to view what Roger says is a perfect boat - turn key. He stated repeatedly the boat was in the top of its class. I asked for all maintenance records, no problem - he provides me 5 different records for a 2007 boat. I ask about major repairs and damages - nope none of that. Until I point out the boat has had a new transmission installed - His response, i just learned of that. However it was installed by the same mechanic that provided the other 5 records. The insurance company paid for it, because the captain shifted at a high RPM while docking in a storm. What else was damaged? Never got the insurance records. Also the vessel has 4 bilge pumps - none were operational when we spent money surveying. Check out the attached picture, where all snaps were relocated when new canvas was installed, yet none of the holes were corrected. Who does that? Why not correct the canvas? Rogers answer was the canvas covers the holes. Guess that is why the canvas was up in August in GA. 95 degrees - LOL, just another story. Roger said he did not know about these 30+ holes in the fiberglass, yet his crew had just washed and detailed the vessel. This is a classic misleading dealer. Avoid or expect significant misleading.
Roger and Kurt are top-notch brokers. They are no-nonsense, get it done professionals - a critical attribute whether you are buying or selling a boat. I found them a pleasure to work with and will definitely use them again when its time to move up to the new boat.
We had a great experience with Roger. We have a little one on the way so decided to sell our pontoon. Roger took care of everything. He made sure our expectations were accurate for resale value and was able to find a new home for our pontoon with in 3 weeks. Thanks Roger!
Was one of the best experiences involving a large purchase. The quality of the boat well exceeds what i paid. As well as the customer service was right on point. I would definitely come back for another purchase.
I called Roger a few months ago and discussed the possibility of him selling my boat. I will admit I knew this was going to be no easy task considering the condition of the boat. He told me to just bring it in and he would take a look and we would discuss a game plan. So I brought the boat in and after talking to Roger for a while I felt confident that he would be able to help. Over the next few weeks Roger went WAY above and beyond in his efforts to get this boat sold. I would recommend him to anyone who doesnt want to deal with the hassle of selling their own boat. Having dealt with several boat brokers in my life, Roger is by far the best Ive worked with!
I found the jet boat Id been looking for listed by Roger at Georgia Boat Brokers. I found both Roger and Kurt to be very helpful in making the purchase a smooth and painless experience. Considering I was traveling out of the country at the time, thats saying something! These guys are great and I would not hesitate to recommend Georgia Boat Brokers.
Roger Wingate with Georgia Boat Brokers has it all. He is fair, honest, hardworking, and extremely knowledgeable. We recently purchased our 1998 Chris Craft 240 through Roger. After an extensive search and meeting with other brokers in the area it was clear Roger was our guy. He truly understands true customer service. He answered every question we had honestly and offered to go above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our purchase. We got a great boat and had a great experience buying it as well. If you are in the market for a boat you must stop in and pay Roger a visit.
We are moving out of state and decided to meet with Roger at Georgia Boat Brokers about selling our Premier Tritoon. Roger and Team reviewed our Pontoon, Identified what needed to be done to get it ready to sell and produced a solid estimate on what it would sell for. We turned over the boat to them, they detailed the boat, got the maintenance done and within under 1 month sold the boat for what they said the did. They stayed in communication with us during the process. We would highly recommend using Georgia Boat brokers to list your boat and would definitely consider buying one from them as well!
Real people with great boat knowledge. We got a great deal on a very nice pre-owned boat. Thanks Roger for your help every step of the way including all the great referrals your have given us to assist in other boating needs. We love our new boat & are glad to have made a cool friend!Brent
In my experience, Roger Wingate, owner of GA Boat Brokers, is one of the most moral businessmen I know of. I bought a 24 Regal bowrider from him a couple of months ago and he was a pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions succinctly but with good detail. He stayed in touch with my wife and I both before the sale and after the sale on multiple occasions to ensure our experience was a good one. The boat came with a tandem axle trailer; he put new grease on the trailer axles and replaced the brake actuator, even though that had not been discussed as part of the deal. He also had some minor repairs done to the Bimini top even that *that* was not something we had pressed for, either.But heres where he really shines: a few days after we took the boat off his lot, we trailered it to storage and lost a seat cushion. I recovered it off the road, but it had already been run over. Roger told us to take it to him. We expected to pay over $300 for a replacement, but after he had a new seat made for us, he told us he would cover it since he didnt believe the Velcro had been put on properly.In a nutshell, Roger takes his service to his customers as a moral issue and will not let you down. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a used boat.
Roger and his company, Georgia Boat Brokers were great to work with. I recently purchased a pre-owned pontoon boat from them. Having been out of boating for 15-20 years, I needed a quick 101 course on pontoon boats and all the issues around them. Roger knows boats! He spent quite a bit of time explaining all the pluses and minuses of what I would be dealing with. Most importantly he has followed up with me post-purchase on several items and questions I have had. Given this was a used boat and I purchased it as-is/no warranty, Roger could have politely moved on. In fact, he has done quite the opposite. He truly stands behind his product which is a refreshing change in world full of transactional sales people. I look forward to using him again in the future and I am a happy customer who gladly would refer my friends to him.
Bought my first boat from Roger in April 2015. What a wonderful person to deal with! Before I left with the boat, he threw in a new impeller and battery without asking! He will treat you right!
Roger and Kurt were honest and fair in my dealings with them
The best in the business of selling boats! Sold mine in two weeks, handled the whole process for us and got us what we needed. The best and EASIEST way to sell a boat hands down.
We were moving out of Georgia and needed to sell our boat. Roger went out of his way to come to our house and photograph the boat. He then utilized his own trailer and truck to pull it out, clean it up and sell it in around a month. When you are moving there are a million things to worry about. We did not have to worry about selling the boat thanks to Roger and Georgia Boat Brokers.
Roger is the best! Honest and genuine. Absolutely no reservations in recommending him!!
Roger is very good at what he does, it is nice to deal with someone that really knows boats!
Roger has great boats, what a great person, he will take great care of you !
