Customer Stories

We owned V bottom performance boats but decided to purchase a pontoon boat for the Ottawa river. We loved the triple-toon's rough water handling and powerful outboard. However, we found the exposed cockpit uncomfortable in early Spring and late Fall. So, we bought a Chaparral 257SSX with more windshield protection. But, the lower head room became an issue, and we missed the ease of getting on and off and space of a pontoon. Thanks to Len's Cove Assurance Plan, we custom ordered another pontoon boat with custom options at a lower cost.

I purchased a 2012 MasterCraft X2 tow boat from Len's Cove, but soon realized that I wanted a bigger boat and wave. Upon discussing this with Len's Cove, they suggested that I wait until fall to upgrade. When the fall arrived, I traded in my X2 and got the perfect choice for me, a MasterCraft X25. The best part is, thanks to Len's Cove Assurance Plan, I did not lose any money in the trade-in. I am now eagerly awaiting the summer to take my new boat out on the water!
