Gigi Llerena: I love this place, I don't go fishing, 8 don't go hunting, but the decorations, the lake is fenomenal.

Jake Bakula: Billy Kelly was extremely helpful in arranging multiple video calls, and coordinating delivery for my boat purchase as I am not in the area. Great communication, easy to reach, and highly knowledgeable with any questions that I had!

Brian Clayton: Had a lot of people work on my boat, but these guys were responsive and came out to my dock 2 times after they did multiple repairs at their shop. Old boats are hard to work on and they stood by their work. Got me running good and I’ll always use them.

John Skowronski: Routine maintenance was completed right on schedule & slightly less than the original quote. Staff was very friendly.

Bobbeo Jeffers: Went out of their way to order parts for my boat.

richard fontenot: Great Service

DeWayne Sprous: Always friendly and helpful!

Jack Winter: Got us into the shop quickly.Explained what needed done. Completed the 3 year service and replaced both batteries. We are good to go now.South Bay Pontoon with a 150 Evinrude.

J: Really friendly staff didn’t have what I needed but was able to order it and told me where I could find it same day if I wanted to make the longer drive we’re willing to lose money to help a customer so I went ahead and bought the parts from them customer service is awesome

Cole Oliphant: Great service, great people, the service department diagnosed and repaired our boat motor to perfection. In the past the service department helped me fix a problem over the phone, can't ask for anything better.

Jeremy Masters: Scheduling drop off and pickup was very customer friendly. Turnaround from drop off to troubleshooting was better than anyone else in the area. Technicians were able to diagnose starting issue and informed customer that boat “runs good”. Still needs some fine tuning so will be looking to return to shop when back in town.

Tom McFarlin: The amount charged for labor seems to be extremely high comparatively. My engine has been "diagnosed" and serviced twice and yet I am still having engine troubles.

t myers: Took 2year old Tracker 195tx with motor issue.A couple days later they called and informed me that motor was blown. They called Mercury and was able to get my power head replaced under warranty. Only took a couple weeks and i had my boat back. Will be using Blue Springs Marine on all of my future boat repairs.Also they kept me up to date with text messages. And always responded to my sent texts

Kelly Adkinson: The service girl was very helpful about my boat

michael lowderman: Tina is the best at letting me know what services I needed plus she is a cutie

Tad Heater: Sheila (at the parts counter) is Fun to talk with, goes the extra mile to help find what you need. Old school mentality! Customer comes first! Don’t know what you guys are paying her. But she needs a raise!!

John Love: My 30 year old pontoon boat had not been running well for over a year. Last October I brought it to blue springs marine for repair and prep for winter. They guaranteed that in the spring it would start and run properly with no additional maintenance necessary. Today (in May) it started right up and ran better than it has in years. Thank you for excellent service!

Jaden: The repairmen came out to my boat for a follow up after previous repairs. That really impressed me! No fee. Just really good service. Even better, they quickly fixed the problem. Both guys were friendly, professional and obviously, helpful.

Brad Ashley: I slowly drove around the lot looking at boats, pulled in and walked around the showroom wanting information about both new and used pontoon boats. I also had questions about eccessories. Not one person greated me, asked me if I needed assistance or even noticed I was there. I walked around, walked on the boat platform and throughout parts for at least 10 minutes. There seemed to be only one other customer in the lobby and at least 4 employees. I will not return.

Jeff Backus: Great group of people to work with!

Oz Ardavani: Tina is such a sweetheart!!! Very informative and goes above and beyond to meet your needs.

Chad Frisch: Bought a boat from Summit Boats and Gear a few weeks ago. The whole experience from start to finish was exceptional. It all started with a phone call and a recommendation from Jim on a 2018 Bayliner E18. I didn't have a chance to get out to see the boat for a couple days but did not want to miss the opportunity. Jim hosted a video call and walked through the boat with me over the phone, The time and information he gave went above and beyond what I was expecting. It was quite clear that Jim not only has a passion for boating but really knows his profession. I was able to make an offer and buy the boat quite quickly. I showed up to go through all the paperwork and Hilary was a pleasure to work with. She was thorough and quick and they had me on my way in no time. As a first time boat owner I have had quite a few questions. Jim took me on an initial run in the boat to show me the ropes. He has also been very responsive since the purchase in answering the various questions that have come up since. To put it simply they have made my boat owning experience great from the beginning. Thank you to Jim, Hilary, and staff.

Kim Simmons: Review by Rob Simmons - 2 Boats - Mastercraft Ski Boat - Bass Boat. In August 2020, I took my Mastercraft Ski Boat in for them to sell on consignment - Bass Boat in October 2020 so they could change the prop and it could be adjusted for a plane issue. My Mastercraft ended up in the caves until April and had never been listed - cover still on at pick up.After the bass boat had been there all winter with several follow up calls, I was told in April my prop shaft was bent and needed to be replaced. The price quoted was $900 plus labor, I told them that was a fair price and to fix it. I also ask that they replace the bearings while in the unit and the price quoted was $500 plus labor. As I waited patiently, I got a call a few weeks later and said the boat was ready. During that call, to quote them, my boat “ran like a bat out of hell” when they put in on Blue Springs Lake. Since the boat did not plane out, in my mind, I thought it was fixed! When I went to pick up the boat, I was told they had to fully replace the lower unit and now my bill was $5610.56……. SHOCKED! Talked to the mechanic at that point, when I asked him how it ran when he put it on the lake, he told me he never took it off the trailer!!!! After discussing that the original reason why the boat was brought in due to a plane issue, he said the lower unit had nothing to do with that. Now I am in $5600 and the initial problem was never addressed. At this point, my irritation was starting to show. Hilary told me he would adjust the motor, put the prop on an it would be done by that evening. I left with no more said and planned on picking the boat up the next day. In the middle of the morning, phone rings and it is the owner, Jim. He rudely starts of the conversation with what exactly is it that I want done to this boat. I tell him again the issues and why the boat is there. He immediately began to chastises me and told me I talked to the wrong guy when I dropped the boat off in October and I should only have talked to him or Hilary who were not there at the time it was left. This is the first conversation I have ever had with Jim; he proceeds to tell me he had called me and went over price and why the lower unit needed full replacement. At that point, I told him he had me confused with someone else…I would DEFINTELY remember a $6000 conversation!!!! Now Jim goes off telling me I am calling him a liar. I told him I was lied to by Hilary that my boat had been taken out to Blue Springs Lakes and ran, which was not the case. He really goes off at this point and tells me I am calling his wife and liar and he would put a mechanics lien against my boat. At this point, I just wanted to get my boats back and out of their hands. I told him I would be there to pay the $5600 and get my boats off his property. I immediately went to pick the boats up, wrote a check and asked the girl behind the desk if I could talk to the mechanic about the break in procedure for the lower unit. She informed me he was busy, and I would have to talk to Jim who wasn’t there, again. I told her never mind, I would call a friend who deals with Yamaha. As I am hooking up the bass boat, I looked at the lower unit and discovered the boat skid (attached pics) had been backed into and had damaged what I just paid $5600 for! When I picked the boats up, both trailers had flat tires, dead batteries and the boats were a MESS! The master switch was left on in the Bass Boat and my one-year old battery was shot. This place knows NOTHING about customer service, business, or boats. After further research with my Yamaha Dealer and telling him the story, he informed me they are not a Yamaha dealer and cannot buy individual parts. Yamaha would only sell them the whole unit, that explained a lot! To all my friends, family and neighbors who live on the lake, stay away from this place. Could not post without a 1 star review - would have given them ZERO! Josh and Cody are no longer there, and I know they took such good care of all of us in the past.

Jennifer Lattimer: Tried to buy a boat that Haley was selling on consignment. Had to call and ask for pictures twice needless to say I never saw any pictures of the boat. I wouldn't recommend having these guys sell anything for you or buy anything from them.

Brian Burnell: Summit boats is awesome! Great service, very knowledgeable, very professional. I wouldn't think it taken my boat anywhere else!

Shawn Hartung: What ever you do don't let them work on a Yamaha.

Mat McKitterick: Summit Boats has worked on both of my boats and the services was outstanding

David Tate: Jim and Hillary were amazing! They are helping us with the sale of our boat.

Mary Zion: Great people. They really work hard to accommodate everyone.

Steve Merriman: We picked up our boat from getting all new interior from another shop and went to put it in the water and the boat wouldnt start. It was already late so we did some research and saw Summit Boats was down the road a couple miles. We got up early and drove down hoping to just get an idea maybe of what might be wrong but also assuming they would be too busy since its Friday of Memorial Day weekend. The boss told us to back up the boat to the shop door and they would take a quick look for us. Turns out the other shop hooked up the batteries incorrectly and one of the batteries had a low cell. Taking the time to help us with our issue made all the difference in the world to us and they have gained a new customer. Thank you for your help today and we will be seeing you soon.

Taylor Christensen: I have never trusted a boat shop until now. They were very knowledgeable and did amazing work. My job turned into a bigger mess than I expected and they treated my boat as it was their own. The best part was even with all of the work they had to do my boat was put back together and clean just like it was the day I took it in. I will be taking it to Summit Boats from now on. Great owners and great service!

ken kidd: Jim and Hillary are very personal. Excellent service. They make you feel like part family. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Eric Cole: Love these guys!!!

Brett Cox: GREAT PLACE. Called yesterday about a wakeboard part that got lost in the lake. They where happy to take one screw and binding washer from a new board in stock. Thanks! We can hit the lake tonight instead of waiting a shipment of the part!

James Monteleone: The people at Summit boats we're very friendly helpful courteous and attention to detail. Got in and got out in a very short amount of time. I would recommend Summit boats and gear. Especially if you need to get your boat fixed I'll pick up some new gear a lot to choose from.

Dan Phillips: Purchased an Aqua Stack Mat from Summit Boats & Gear recently. Owner was friendly and knowledgeable. After using it today I highly recommend it to anybody.

Tim Karl: Good people, used boat prices are very fair. Service is good.

Michael Cothern: Wonderful friendly staff very knowledgable Will work with you to get your business.

Joel: Josh and Paige are incredible people. They are honest, patient, and fair. If you're looking for a boat (particularly a ski, wakeboard, or wakesurf boat), this is the place to go. This is a zero pressure environment. If you already have a boat, their service department is exceptional and it's one of the few places in KC that services inboards. They offered me so much on my trade-in, I don't think they made any profit at all. I felt guilty when I saw them post it for sale at that price. They are the KC Nautique dealer, but they have quite a few trade-ins for sale too. Not that it matters, if you ever drive a Nautique, you will never go back to another boat. The wake behind mine is scary.

Laurie Annis: Nice place, very friendly, honest owners!

chase: Awesome place, I love it
