Dylan went above and beyond on my boat purchase. Price negotiation was simple and easy. Dylan and the crew at Boats Etc. were very professional and awesome to deal with, wish all dealerships were this easy and understanding.

We met Dylan at the Houston boat show and what an amazing experience. We selected a wonderful XPress bay boat which we love. Our experience only improved when meeting Dylan to pick up the boat. His attention to detail, the amazing caring team and his willingness to walk through every part of the boat was beyond expectation. We highly recommend Boats Etc and Dylan. 5+ star experience.

Ordered a Sportsman Masters 247 from Dylan in October 2022. Took delivery February 13, 2023. Dylan was great to work with, very helpful, and patient. Due to the schedule, there is a few items that need to be addressed when I bring the boat in for 20 hour service.
