I took my Cdory to Three Rivers Marine in Crystal River Florida to be consigned for sale. I dropped the boat off with the understanding that the boat would be detailed at a cost of approx $1600. Weeks later I received a call that i would need to spend between $3,000 to $5,000 in repairs for them to sell the boat. The boat ran and performed perfectly when i dropped it off. I refused to spend the money on repairs. I told them I would have the boat picked up. when the boat was picked up it was "trashed". 3 inches of water in the cabin, mildew everywhere, mouse droppings, VHF radio dangling by wires, spare tire bracket fell off in parking lot, bolts were loosened on the hand winch, holes were left open where rod holders were removed, 4 holes drilled into gunnels and cushions tossed in V-berth. I trusted Three Rivers Marine to return my boat to me in at least the same condition I dropped it off to them. I have emailed and called requesting to speak to the owner about my issues. to date I have not heard from him. I would NOT recommend anyone do business with this company based on my experience.
