The People Behind the Boats
Honda Marine certified experts and Godfrey specialists serving Lake Lanier and Lake Norman. Real people who know these boats, these lakes, and what it takes to put the right boat under your family.
Lake Lanier · Buford, GA
General Manager, Carefree Boat Sales — Lake Lanier
David has spent over a decade on Lake Lanier helping Atlanta-area families find the right boat — and making sure they never overpay for it. As a Honda Marine certified expert and Godfrey dealer specialist, he's the person behind Carefree's real-world performance testing program, including the famous BF350 vs. Mercury head-to-head tests that proved Honda's 350 HP V8 outran Mercury's 400 HP V10.
David's philosophy is simple: give customers real data, real demos, and real pricing — then let them decide. He's the reason Carefree offers on-water test drives when most dealers won't, and the reason Honda-powered Godfrey packages at Lake Lanier are priced 25% below the Mercury competition.
Lake Norman · Mooresville, NC
General Manager, Carefree Boat Sales — Lake Norman
Jeff leads the Carefree team at Lake Norman, serving the Charlotte metro area and one of the Southeast's premier boating destinations. A seasoned marine industry professional, Jeff brings the same commitment to honest pricing, real expertise, and hands-on customer service that defines the Carefree brand.
Whether you're looking for a 22-foot family cruiser or a 28-foot luxury tritoon, Jeff knows the Godfrey lineup inside and out — and he'll make sure you leave with the right boat at the right price, backed by Carefree's Honda-certified service team.
