Stacy was great to deal with! After talking with a couple other drift boat companies, Stacy took several hours out of his busy schedule to show me why and how Hyde Drift Boats are the number 1 choice. A great boat, a great company, and a good East TN experience. Thanks Stacy @ Drift the East for everything! My new XL Lowpro will spend many hours on the Snake River in WY this year.
Boats are very overpriced and owner is unwilling to negotiate. For the same price you can order a boat from Hyde shipped to your door customized to your specs.Adding as an additional response.I did not bad mouth the conditions of his boats but did mention that they were in fact in rough shape. As for a healing water discount, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The idea of hosting was mentioned but a discount for hosting was never mentioned. Usually folks around here give a price and then a final deal is negotiated. I understand used boats will show some signs of use but Stacy is trying to sell used boats at a steep up charge without budging from his price. I wish you the best in selling your boats but I felt it was important to share my experience. Most people who want to buy used boats want to negotiate from the initial asking price. Stacy freely offered to get an anchor and rope from another location I assumed to help sweeten a deal. I honestly just wanted to negotiate and make a deal on a used boat. Not to spend half of my off day waiting on someone to show up unwilling to make a deal. I again wish you the best sir.
Bought my first boat from Stacy. I aggravated him to death as I wanted to get the perfect boat at a perfect price. I am not a guide and I’m not rich by any means so this was a 3 month process for me scared to death to spend the money. He never got impatient with me, not once. He made me a couple super deals on brand new boats but I wouldn’t pull the trigger. I finally bought a used one. It had some dings and scratches but in amazing shape for its age. The price was perfect. I lost my anchor today and am going tomorrow. Stacy met me within 2 hours of coming off the river with a new anchor and pulley system. I’d give 12 stars if I could.
