              Answered
              I purchased a brand new Bennington Sport Rx pontoon from River Valley Marine and purchased a Vantage protective coating for the pontoons and an engine warranty. The business represented that the boat and the Vantage coating were durable, warrantied, and that service in the event of any problems would be timely and hassle-free. Possession of the boat was taken May 30, 2024. By June 26, 2024 the Vantage coating was reported to River Valley Marine as defective and peeling off the pontoons. As of August 16, 2024 no arrangements have been made to remedy the defect despite repeated efforts to pursue a remedy. The Minnesota boating season is very short, and this has left me with a defective boat for most of the boating season, and with only a few more weeks to go.The company misrepresented the quality of their products, the quality of the warranties, the quality of their customer service, the timeliness of communication, and their commitment to customer satisfaction. They have been all talk and no action.

              STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THE PRODUCT THEY SELL (BENNINGTON) IS DEFECTIVE and the company is a nightmare to deal with their service. Read below for details.UPDATE:5/25 PM - Finally had an update from GM - they won't be able to get the boat in to diagnose the issues until 6/2. This is 3 weeks AFTER I notified them of the issue. No ETA on return.5/25 AM - River Valley finally picked the boat on Friday (5/19). I still do not have an update on the cause, estimated time on return, or even what's been done. I'm now working with the General Manager, *****, but that's not been much help.Overall, one of the worst purchasing experiences that I've had. River Valley can sell with the best of them, but getting them to stand behind their service seems to be a huge issue.5/16 Unfortunately, with only 8.6 hours on the boat, it started to sink. I called the rep on Sunday night and sent over several pictures demonstrating the issue. The Sales Rep immediately responded and started to escalate internally. It is 9:00 AM on Tuesday and the rep is the only one who seems to care about this issue. This is after leaving several phone calls and messages for Service and even the General Manager. At this point, I wouldnt recommend River Valley if this is how they take care of their customers after the check clears.
