Today my husband and I went into budget boats to get a piece for our boat and Rob was very helpful with finding the best piece for our boat. And he helped us find the right flappers to go with the piece that was for our boat! And may I add he had us laughing and made us feel welcomed. So if you need good customer service and a piece for your boat go to budget boats and speak to Rob!

I called a dozen places looking for a trailer, Rob took the time to determine the weight of my boat and trailer requirements. The price they gave me was by far the best and purchased it 2 days later. Checkout was smooth, professional and quick. 5 star all the way.

The middle age guy that works there way over charges for broken parts thats 30 yrs old I really think he has a mental illness. I will never go back there again... the old guy is ok .

Purchased a used motor from Craig, he is patient, fair and honest. He will continue to earn my business in the future.

I’ve known the Allen family for years now and can tell you they have always done a great job with whatever I’ve needed. From boat maintenance, to fabricating my trailer, 110% care like it’s their own equipment and have always done me right on billing. I can’t recommend budget boats any higher to anyone.

They sold me a 12 thousand dollar boat for 7000, its awesome, although the trailer sucked, they offered me a better one if I could wait a day since they were about to close. Wonderful boat and great customer service. Highly recommended this place.

Horrible experience. Walked in and apparently I wasnt welcome. Some guy threw a part in a bag at me and said he didnt know if it fit. I drove 45 minutes just to be treated like garbage. Would rather paddle than go back to this place.

Amazing selection of any used boat part you could think of, and trailers. Staff can be a bit cantankerous but I think they mean well.

Review №26

I changed the machine here for three weeks and they havent done it for me. I used to ask them when to do it. They said you can take the boat back if you are not happy. I put two thousand in cash. The service attitude is too bad.

My husband and I bought a new trailer from Budget Boats. (Yes, they sell new trailers). We arranged it Friday afternoon for Saturday morning, to include putting my boat on the trailer and fit correctly. They had it out ready to set it up for our boat when we got there. Craig and Wes at Budget Boats were extremely helpful in getting the trailer set up, and even went above and beyond by customizing the trailer to our needs! They made sure that we got the right trailer for our boat, at the best price I could find in Tidewater. As we waited, I noticed many people coming in to get parts, or buy a boat. The staff was very helpful and operate in a family-run-business kind of way that makes you appreciate how unique of a place this is. I recommend going to Budget Boats for all of your boating needs, and give them a chance to earn and keep your business.

If you are looking for used boat parts they have plenty! We had pictures and parts of our Morse Throttle Arm for a 1989 Bass Tracker and they had the part to replace the one that broke. Very nice and helpful. Fair and reasonable prices. Even had a life vest for my dog!!! We came from Merry Hill, NC after googling used boat parts. Didn’t expect to find the part we needed but are very happy we did.

These guys are the great. Very helpful and the mechanic is the best on the east coast. The crotchety parts guy is ok too. The owners son looks mean but hes a big teddy bear. Thanks for everything

Review №31

Every time I have gone in there they have had what I needed. For those of us that keep older boats on the water this place is a go to place for the hard to find. The staff is always willing to help and give advice. I have only had to make one exchange in the 6 times I have made a purchase and they made it right when I walked in. I will continue to shop here for my boating needs while I am in Virginia.

Prices are fair for boat motor work. Ive bought a couple of motors from them over the years and have been happy with them. Good place to get used boat parts. Ask for Craig O.

Mean rude, every time I have gone in there I have been talked down to. Today I call to ask what there labor rate is. The answer was a question what kind of boat do you have? I replied with my boat model and year ( mid 80s boat) they asked what motor it had I said a force outboard before I could even get a word out edge wise they said we do not work on those and I got hanged up on. Well 1. It is a late 90s force basically a true mercury outboard, so next time hear me out. Before you decide to be rude and hang up. At least be nice about it. 2. You name is budget boats, not Lynn haven marina, your going to use used parts, you are going to get the yugos of the boating world. Your suppose to be budget friendly. 1k for a old outboard I can get off CL running for half that is not budget friendly as your name states.

Review №44

Just OK...I find what I need there about 30% of the time. Disorganized, a little pricey for used parts and inconvenient hours. Staff isnt very friendly. If you need something common and cant wait to order it online then this is a much better option than getting totally ripped off at West Marine.

Review №45

Oh if youve done business with these clowns youre seriously going to get ripped off. Spend a little bit more money at more reputable places because these guys will sell you ineffective equipment and if you want a boat with holes and cracks in it this is your place

Review №51

Budget boats is not a budget establishment at all there employees are sarcastic and are not at all knowledgeable in their own business. They are rude and have no problem arguing with the customers. They provide the worst example of customer service, unless you enjoy being ridiculed and teased. I would discourage anyone from even setting a foot in this place.

Review №52

Good bunch of people talk to hunter or glenn and they will get you taken care of and the service guys get your boat done fast and right they dont short cut may cost a little bit but id rather spend a little and know that i got my boat fixed rather than break down out on the water go with these guys you wont regret it!!!

Review №54

DO NOT BRING YOUR BOAT HERE. The lead mechanic Craig does not know what he is doing. He cant even de winterize a boat properly. Even for simple repairs, he doesnt know what hes doing. In addition, it will take forever to get your boat done. They had my boat there for almost a month before they started working on it. Their customer service is terrible. They will not get back to you. Even if you go in, they will lie and tell you that they will get your boat done later that day, and then wont touch it. They call themselves the poor mans boathouse, but if a more expensive job comes in after yours, they will push your boat to the side.

Look up site hrs ; says that they are open. Go there even tho I hate it and sure enough closed for holidays. IM SURE THAT THEY WERE SO DAMN BUSY BEING RUDE AND OBNOXIOUS THAT THEY HAD TIME TO ADD CLOSING TO WEB PAGE. I prefer having a splinter placed uder my finger nails than going there.

Review №62

I am aware they sell used parts but there is a extreme difference between used parts and parts that are pieces of crap. Buyer beware ! Do not buy from this store. I had to return a trim lift cylinder three times and every time I returned one they threw it back in thefor sale pile when it obviously was not functional. They are very expensive if not more as retail/ New parts . I would rather go to bass pro to buy parts and accessories. I do not understand how they can sell used parts for the same price that bass pro or west marine sells new. Most of the boats on the lot have cracked blocks due to the freezing winter too. The staff there are very rude and arrogant
