Service was great, Jesse took care of everything and made a lot of custom options happen. Everyone was super nice. Just all around an enjoyable experience.

Eddie and the crew at Gibbons are awesome. They helped me find the boat I was looking for and then worked with me to get it dialed in to start stacking fish on the deck. They spent a great deal of time going back and forth to make sure every detail was the way I wanted and I couldn't be happier. My new 2023 Stabicraft is one heck of a machine and turns heads everywhere we go. Stew in the service department reached out to make sure everything was working well and to see if I had any service needs too. These guys work hard to make buying a boat a great experience. I'll be sure to pop in every time I pass through to say hi and share some photos of our adventures with them.

Thanks guys.

Gibbons serviced my mercury outboard that I bought used. It had been stored incorrectly and had hydrauliced the motor. They rebuilt the carburetor and got the engine running. I took it fishing for 46 days and it ran perfectly starting with one or two pulls depending on if it was cold or hot. I was very impressed with the service that was provided and would recommend them to anyone.

Just bought a king fisher 3425. These guys customized our boat and then some. From sales service and parts these guys are pros. King fisher is a Canadian company near by and we’re confident the boat is A1. Thanks again gibbons!

Purchased my boat from the Eddie and the team and had excellent service the whole time. They were very accommodating when I was picking up my boat and things were hard to get ahold of due to parts shortages on everything, but allowed me to take my boat and then bring it back when everything came in. I’ve since had it back to install extra accessories after the purchase and they did an excellent job on that stuff as well!

Gibbons is an awesome dealer to buy a boat from. They have been upfront with the sale of a new Kingfisher (100% honest with delays out of their control…) and even better with the many follow up questions that I’ve had. It is never an easy decision to purchase new - Gibbons has set the bar in the service while Kingfisher has set the bar in product.

Mark and I were extremely happy with our experience purchasing our new boat from Gibbons. From our first phone call to the day we picked the boat up Eddie was professional, patient and very knowledgeable on the products they sell. We had great customer service from all the staff that assisted us on the way to rig out a perfect boat for us. We look forward to many years of ocean fishing.

My husband and I purchased a 2725 KingFisher from Dave and Eddie and we could not be happier with the service we received from Gibbons Motor Toys. We had been in the market for a KingFisher for over 8 months and had dealt with various dealers; no other dealership provided even a similar level of service. From the moment we came across the listing, we felt very comfortable moving ahead with the deal - so comfortable that we purchased the boat sight unseen. Dave was responsive, friendly and flexible and always happy to answer our many questions via phone, text and email. When we went to pick up the boat, Dave, Eddie and Paul spent almost three hours with us - from closing the deal to walking through every part of the boat, to finalizing our insurance papers for us. Our only regret was that we had not dealt with Gibbons Motor Toys sooner - the entire team there helped us every step of the way through this large purchase. We highly recommend them and will certainly be returning customers!

What a great experience it was to pick up our new boat at Gibbons yesterday
Eddie was so professional and friendly.
Every large consumer purchase should come with service like this.
Gibbons Motor Toys has set a very high standard that all dealerships should strive for.
Look forward to doing more business with Eddie and will recommend to other without hesitation.
We left feeling like we were VERY well taken care of!
Well done!

My wife and I had been watching/shopping for a while now in hopes of purchasing a larger boat. I was looking for a trailerable boat which had a cuddy and was purposed for fishing. Well, we found it at Gibbons Motor Toys in Salmon Arm. To make a long story short we purchased a 2008 2502 Trophy sight-unseen. We did receive many pictures but this is my point.we felt so comfortable in our deal with Gibbons Motor Toys additionally with Eddie and the staff that we went ahead and bought it without going to look at it first. With the boat we purchased an efi 15 HP Mercury "pro kikker" which I plan on mounting in the spring. This whole transaction was perfect. The boat is in like new condition and well described. It is refreshing to deal with honest people.and these people and this company are honest. I would deal with them again in a minute. They have a great website for online shopping and a dedicated parts department which can ship parts anywhere. Thanks again Eddie, Vance, Clayton, and the rest of the staff.will send you pics from the coast on our next fishing trip out from Alberta.stay safe

I purchased a 2019 Kingfisher Escape 2025 from Gubbons Motor Toys in April 2020. After many hours of research on heavy gauge aluminum boats with several local, out of state and out of country dealers, I settled on the Kingfisher. Eddie from Gibbons Motor Toys was professional, kind and listened to my every question. These kind of boats are not readily available in the Midwest. Eddie’s knowledge, experience and patience helped me tremendously. The price, service and delivery was second to none! It was well worth it to purchase from Salmon Arm, British Columbia. Gibbons made the purchase enjoyable and without hassle. I would recommend anyone to them for a purchase!

People talk about the cohesiveness of a team when they make it to the playoffs like the Stanley Cup or the Grey Cup Everyone in every department that I have dealt with contributes to the cohesiveness of this team. Thank you to everyone at Gibbons Motor Toys.

Paul and the staff at Gibbons are friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to boats! My experience has been great from drop off to pick up of my boat. They explain what they are doing to do ahead of time and have been able to answer all of my boating questions as well. Thanks Gibbons!

I found the boat I was interested in at Gibbons Motor Toys in Salmon Arm and I live in Victoria. Eddie went the extra distance to take a bunch of pictures of the boat, answer all my questions and agree on a fair price before I made the trip to see the boat. I was happy that the boat was exactly, if not better, condition than Eddie had described. I would definitely recommend Eddie and Gibbons Motor Toys as a reputable company to purchase a boat or motor toy from. Steve in Victoria.

Eddie and Paul were awesome over the past couple of years helping set up my fishing boat. They have creative solutions, always use top notch materials and have great workmanship. Thanks Guys

Paul and his team are top notch and one of those small business owners that care about their customers. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Paul personally and his professionalism and personable personality is why Gibbons will always be the first choice for me and a recommendation anytime someone is looking for honest and genuine customer service.

Website is awesome, never been to the store before but wish I could get there one day to buy some supplies for my extreme duty.

I took my Harbercraft jet boat to Gbbons Motor Toys in Salmon Arm for its 500 hour service. Through the entire process Paul was in touch with me explaining what they saw and what my options were for service. I ended up with a boat that is running awesome! Great service from the team at Gibbons.

Great service! Had an issue with my sportjet, they fit me in with short notice and went the extra mile to get me back on the water. I highly recommend the boys at Gibbons in salmon arm!

We bought our boat about 3 years ago, Paul and Eddie have been nothing but awesome to deal with through the purchase process and on going every year for services and information. Always willing to listen to what I have to say and are extremely knowledgeable about what they do. I wouldnt reccomend going anywhere but here if you want top quality work and top notch service. Thanks

The customer service from Gibbons Motor Toys is phenomenal! I bought my boat there three years ago, and they were great all throughout the purchase process. Recently, I've just run into my first service issue (with the motors) and their customer care continues to be incredible. Paul Hughson, the parts and service specialist there, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. If you are looking to buy a boat, or have yours serviced, do not hesitate to give these guys a chance. You won't regret it!

Long time search for the perfect boat. Eddie, Paul, and Tim were all involved in the order and build of my new Kingfisher jetboat. Eddie took the time to really have us consider how we will be using our boat and made solid recommendations both for against certain models, and even certain options. Six month order and build process, including after hours discussions and communication. On the water delivery was in april and now, after two months of ownership and many hours and smiles on the water I can honestly say we have the ideal boat for our family and I am confident we have the best boat for maximum on the water enjoyment. I highly, highly recommend GMT for your marine needs. Five stars on all aspects.

We bought our 2016 Kingfisher Coastal Express from Gibbons Motor Toys last Spring. Dan in Gibbons spent a lot of time with us discussing boat choices, and then some additional options to optimize the boat for our use. We picked the boat up at GMT in Salmon Arm in the summer. Eddie worked with us to customize the boat and then took us out on the water to both give us a chance to test drive our boat and also to show us how to use the equipment and maintain the boat. Paul and his team at GMT in Salmon Arm did a great job of installing the custom electronics and other equipment, and installed the wiring so that it didn't show and left the boat sparkling clean. Any glitches that we had with equipment, Gibbons quickly resolved. We highly recommend Gibbons Motor Toys, and love our Kingfisher boat!

We privately purchased a used boat, motor and trailer. Having been away from boating and fishing I consulted Gibbons Motor Toys @ Salmon Arm. I was greeted by Paul Hughson; I explained, my situation and asked for recommendations. A complete inspection of the hull, electronics, engine and trailer would be the starting point. I was pleased with the comprehensive report, including detailed info on the engine. We implemented a plan with approximate costs and time. I am very pleased with the job.on time, on budget, and suggested items for consideration.
