Gateway Marina, Todd took care of my repower with one 300 and did an excellent job. Have been using them for service since 2009 and now keep the boat there. Always have been fair, responsive and through.

hammer, i went with gateway heard good things and got a deal! stopped by today to see progress and they seem to have everything under control , very good job going on. im impressed the level of detail so far

I used Gateway on Rte 36 in Belford once. Just once.
Get everything in writing.

Todd who runs the Marina in Highlands is top-notch.

I know they are the same family, but I had difficulties with the Dealership in Belford.

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

what were ur difficulties

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

Bait & switch with lower unit replacement.

A few years ago, they charged me for a rebuilt Yamaha L/U but installed an SEI After Market Unit. (Charged me over $2000.00 for a $300.00 After Market L/U)

Didn't find out they put the SEI After Market L/U on my Yami until the end of the season when I discovered water in my L/U oil. Seals were bad.

This was the Belford Dealership staff, not Todd at Highlands. He did some work at no cost to make up for their deceit over the next 2 seasons. However, I had to ship the L/U back to SEI for warranty repairs at my cost ($$).

That's why I suggest you get everything in writing.

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

Good Luck. I hope it goes smoothly for you.

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

it went great , took delivery of it today ! they were thorough and added stuff moved things and gave a great on water oreintation the only thing i can say is when i brought it in they said i wouldnt be able to use my hydraulic steering cylinder and would need a new one and it was alittle more expensive then i thought but other than that great job and went perfect so far

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

Good luck


Good engines. Not as good as the 1990's 2 strokes. Those were indestructible.

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

yea unfortunately everything nowadays dont last , if stuff was built to last everyone would be out of business

Re: most RELIABLE local Yamaha dealer
 

The new cylinders are built way better than those of just a few years ago.
seals are better. so its good money spent
