Call before you drive out. Used inventory moves fast — a boat listed online Monday can be sold by Friday — so ask the salesperson to pull the hull ID (HIN) and confirm it's still on the lot, not just "in the system" from a trade-in that hasn't arrived yet.

Good to know

Do boat dealers sell used boats, or only new?

Most full-service dealers carry both, taking used boats in on trade when a customer upgrades to a new model. Pontoons and bass boats in the $8,000-$20,000 range turn over fastest; used boats sit anywhere from a few days to a couple months depending on season, with spring (March-May) bringing the deepest selection.

Is it cheaper to buy a used boat from a dealer or a private seller?

Dealers typically price 10-20% above private-party for the same boat, but that premium usually includes a mechanical inspection, a short warranty (30-90 days is common), and financing through the dealership. A private seller has no markup but also no recourse if the outboard fails a week later.
