If you are looking to rent a personal water craft/jet ski, please avoid the 2002 Honda F12X, or you may be victim of a scam as I was. Another patron had the same experience with the same PWC two years prior to my experience.
Within an hour of being in the water, the jet ski flipped unprovoked. It became disabled and wouldn’t start again. We were initially charged $500 in repairs. After my initial google review (I since took it down), they increased the fee to over $800. I asked what their insurance deductible was, and they said they don’t have insurance.
After reviewing pictures of my family on the PWC, it appears to be lower and lower in the water, eventually with the rudder under the level of the water. This is before it flipped. I’m sure it was defective and taking on water before it flipped.
We should not be charged outrageous repairs on a defective water craft.
Since I’m not the only one this has happened to, I firmly believe it is a scam targeting out of town patrons.
One more thing to keep in mind: their contract states 1) you agree to rent ‘as is,’ 2) there is no cap to repair charges, and 3) any legal fees they incur, you are responsible for paying. It is truly a no win situation.

Very friendly staff we loved the pontoon we rented. Only complaint is the lake is very rocky so we had to be very careful in that aspect. Beautiful place

We bought our Bennington boat from Dodge marina in 2017 and have been very happy with the service and care from them! Tim is very responsive and goes out of his way to take care of us! Have not found a better marina!

On our recent vacation, we rented a pontoon for a few days to enjoy Long Lake. Just a warning to others that the lake is very shallow and rocky in so many spots far away from the shoreline. There's no warning at all and you can hit the prop on rocks and not be anywhere close to shore. I don't think we ever went over 20 miles an hour yet damaged the prop and we were charged $200 for a new one. There's no depth finder or other way to see what's in your path. If you're going to rent, be ready to pay for a new prop. Other than the unfortunate experience on the lake, Dodge Marine was a great place to rent from. Just wanted to give a heads up about the lake itself and the chances of you replacing the prop is very possible.

They do a great job of winterizing and storing boats. Never a problem.

Horrible experience. Will never give them any of my business again. Trying to charge me for a scratch and I didn’t touch the jet ski to anything but water.

Tim and his staff have always helped me out with pontoon rentals for the past six years and done a great job! Two years ago I needed parts for my older Yamaha wvae runners and he had the parts over nighted in from Wisconsin. I rent every year and am well taken care of!
