Doug was very nice and very accommodating! Brand new boat...everything works and was easy to operate. Be careful of the low bridge with the top up...Doug warned me but it's easy to forget. My wife reminded me before it was too late so we were ok! We were able to bring our dog for his first boat trip and he LOVED it. The boat rail is the perfect height for him to stick his head through and look out. The boat is nice and wide and stable for him too. We were very happy to see all the main businesses are still around...Weldon's for ice cream, Island House is still there as is Copper Penny. Poppa Boo's was packed. The only place we didn't get to was Port Tavern. The engine is big enough for the kids to tube...not sure about skiing or wake boarding...we'll find out next time as I forgot to pack them this time. We hope Doug continues doing this because we'll do it at least three times next summer for multiple days. Thanks so much for sharing your boat! Not having to worry about filling up the tank was much appreciated too because we were able to stay at Pappa Boos and listen to the band until after 8pm which was great!

Boat was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 4 kids. We hit the sandbars, tubed, caught too many catfish and cruised to a dockside restaurant for a dockside pizza! We highly recommend!

Great experience! Doug is very responsive and the boat is in very good condition
- TimTim
A great experience. Doug is very responsive and the boat is in very good condition, with the built in radio being a great feature. Its motor is strong enough to pull the included tube, but it is not able to swing larger people in and out of the wake of the boat. I would rent again.

Doug was extremely thorough and explained the process very clearly. He was available, detailed and kind. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend renting from Doug! In fact, a lot of folks asked for my renter’s information this weekend and I referred them to Doug Jeffries at Boatsetter.

The boat was perfect for our group. It’s clean, simple to maneuver, not too big but has plenty of room to hang out! There’s a giant cooler on the boat and plenty of storage! Doug was super helpful answering our questions.
- AdamAdam
We had an AMAZING experience from start to finish with Boatsetter and Doug. It was just what we need and was really easy and simple to do. Doug answered all of my questions and more and was very helpful with idea and places to find transportation to from and around the lake. We will definitely be doing this again!

We had a great time on Buckeye Lake and will definitely be back to rent from Doug when we get a chance! There were a wide range of ages in our group and all had a great time. We even had a chance to do some tubing and it worked great! I would strongly recommend Doug as he was very easy to work with, answered all my questions and in a timely manner. I have already recommended Doug to several friends and family and will continue to do so! We cannot wait to get back! The kids have already been asking when we can go back.

Great experience, the boat was in great condition and the pick up and drop off was as easy as it gets; would definitely rent again!

The pontoon was large and just what we imagined. The added tube was wonderful and we would rent again. The pick up address was confusing at first, but it worked out.
