Tom was great to work with. He was very responsive. The only thing was that the skis did not match and we had some difficulties with that.
- CaryCary
Great experience!! We had lots of fun, and the boat was perfect for our family. Tom helped make our trip a memorable one as he provided all the ski equipment we needed and even allowed us to reschedule our time due to weather issues. Highly recommend this boat.

Tom was very friendly and the boat ran well without any mechanical issues. We had everything we needed for a great couple of days on the water. Will rent from him again.

Great! Friendly and on time. Tom was there early, had the boat ready and was ready to pick up promptly. He made sure we had all the right water toys as well. We liked that we could launch from Walsh which was perfect. The boat is good, has some minor wear and tear but has lots of room and move.

Great day on the water.

5 star service. Tom even went the extra mile to install a shade for the day.
Boat is older, smaller and has seen wear and tear. 6 people Max for comfort sake. Ran completely fine for our cruise! - BasamBasam
Tom was great to rent from, on time, informative and had everything we needed to enjoy Lake Austin. I would give a 5 star to him, but 3 for the actually boat. It’s a good boat, but a little old and seems to run rich at idle, which meant a lot of fumes when not moving too fast. The boat is 20 years old though.

Boat was as advertised and Tom was an excellent host. Communicated quickly, timely, and delightful to deal with.

Tom was great. On time and organized in showing us everything about the boat. The boat was in great shape and he brought a tube and wakeboard for us. Would definitely rent from him again.

We had a great time on Tom's boat. He provided us with floaties and noodles. Lake Austin is gorgeous and the homes along the lake are spectacular. Had a great time.

Our family went out on Tom's boat. It was super easy. Tom met us and had the boat in the water before got there. He had a tube and wakeboard on-board, so that was all we needed. We hooked my phone up to the stereo (bluetooth) and had Spotify playlists jamming. The boat is not "special" or anything, but that wasn't what we were looking for. It's a basic boat that will get you out there and will be fun. We just wanted an easy and quick lake trip. We did a half a day. Since our kids are little (1,5,7) they don't want to be out too long anyway.
Tom, here are a couple of little things that would make your boat even better!
1) Drivers side tall seat cushion. You always end up wanting to sit up higher while driving and a lot of boats have that optional flip out or whatever tall cushion to keep you up high when needed.
2) Mirror set-up. When dragging somebody a rear-view mirror is nice so you don't have to always keep your head swiveling :)
Thanks Tom, we would rent again so look out for us on another day!
