Bryan's Marine Vidailia

[oiltech09]

Can anyone offer positive comments on this dealer? I am not asking anyone to air dirty laundry or bash a simple pro or con is all I'm asking. I am looking at a new Xpress which they sell.

Thanks

When Eddie Roberts was with them, all you heard was good things, now I am not sure.

Mark, the express dealer in Crowley, from what i hear, has great prices but customer service sucks. Just thought i'd throw that out there for ya.

Joey Bryan at Bryan's will take good care of you. He is a stand up guy and does what he says he will do.

Just don't come into Metaire and try to work with the xpress dealer there. Lets just so a used car salesman is more honest

H&M in Crowley is where I bought my boat. I only had to go back a few times for some minor issues, but Tommy fixed me right up. That was back in 2001, so I don't know what it's like now.

Thanks guys dealer answered all my questions and I would recommend them as a dealer to visit if you are in the market. As far as an Xpress I'll pass.

What happened?

[oiltech09]

There were issues related to quality that I was not expecting and is not acceptable to me. Boat on show room floor had several dents in the bottom, paint on top rail and sides was either full of fish eyes or trash (very rough) couple of gouges in SHO engine cover, threaded U-bolts for bow eye and transom tie downs and there is no provision to tie the side rail bumpers to the bow.

From 10' away they are beautiful boats.

I believe all of these issues to be factory issues and was really disapointed

[BasinDawg]

Not to be ugly...but....They were once called Aluma Weld and had to name change to get a clean slate....I suppose old habits are hard to break

[DOUGMCGEEFTD]

Mark can I suggest a custom hand built alum hull? Sushii told me what you thinking and I think you would be happier that way in the long run. Tell sushii to take you by to see mr gonnies boat

Now we know.

[oiltech09]

The thought has crossed my mind just didn't want to wait a long time for a boat or to build one. I'm gonna have to check that out because they want some serious coin for crap I looked at today

[DLAB]

I'll agree, never looked real close at an xpress till today, the finished product isn't finished!!

Mine didn't have dents on the bottom from the factory, but I've managed to add more than a few from stumps.
