Colorado Boat Center

I really need to rave about Colorado Boat Center. We went in on a weekday browsing to compare a used boat we were looking at to new boats. Of course no intention to actually buy a boat but two weeks later, here we are. The Smith Family owns and operates this dealership and I believe they are so successful and have won so many awards because they DO care and they do treat you like their own family. The entire time I felt valued, appreciated and heard and feel that we got a very fair deal. I didn’t feel sold at all but I felt educated and empowered. On our closing day, they spent two hours with us, one on one to teach us, prepare us and keep us safe. We also LOVE that Barletta manufactured their boats with dogs in mind. Our poodle, Dutton definitely approves! Thank you guys for everything! As an update to this review, we are a few months into boat ownership and we expected a rough road, but ran into a few things and Ashley, Eric, the service guys, and everyone at CBC has been nothing short of amazing. They truly care about their customers and they provide world class customer service. This company and the people who run it are the exact reason why it’s important to shop locally and support family owned businesses. They treat their customers like family, even when their customers are a pain in their butt. Thank you all for being great!

We bought a boat from them with a “warranty.” They played out the warranty with “no problem found” until we gave up. They did more damage to our boat winterizing it than they avoided. Then they dodged us trying to to talk about it until we gave up.

In 2022 we bought a Barletta Lusso ultra entertainer 25 foot beautiful boat at the Denver boat show. It was the one on the floor at the show all the bells and whistles 400 hp motor. First Day out, Biminis blew off, if somebody would’ve been sitting on the lounger they would have been seriously hurt or worse one or two months later that became a recall item from Barletta, not long after that the depth finder quit working, found out later the plug came off, the nice dining table that makes it the entertainer has some beautiful, beautiful chrome welds that came apart Now they want to fix it with L brackets. Also, on the first Day out the paint started peeling on all the floor rails.We wanted to trade it last summer, but the owners at Colorado boat center asked me to wait until this year‘s boat show they would not be able to pay me what that boat was worth at that time in the season but if I waited, I they would definitely take care of me. NOT SO MUCH!! Went to visit them today at this year‘s boat show they offered $60,000 less than I paid for it , not a very happy man today there’s less than 30 hours on this brand new boat that is supposed to be heads and shoulders above the rest when it comes to build quality. On top of that, I can’t even trade today because of all the warranty work that still isn’t done and it was reported when we got back from Lake Havasu last March. Sold me a $2000 cover for travel, and it came apart on the way to Havasu our first voyage BUYER BEWARE!! Response to reply Expedite?? These parts were ordered last March. Supposedly, I wanted to trade this last July!! I have attached below in the photos our text stream take a look and you tell me how you interpret that. You could have said we can’t take it now but maybe someone else can, however who’s going to take a trade when there was so much warranty work to be done? Oh, and by the way, the warranty work still isn’t done. So even if I wanted to make a deal in July or with someone else at the boat
