Boat buyers checklist

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the thrilling boat show season! Getting a new boat feels like Christmas times ten! Amidst all this excitement, it's easy to overlook important items or documents. But reviewing them can make the process smoother and help avoid any "He said, She said" issues later, whether you're buying from a dealer or snagging a used vessel in a private sale. You’ll be itching to get it home and start fitting it out or diving into the rebuild process! 😀

So, drawing upon many years of experience both in the USCG and as an Automotive Service Director, mixed in with some pilot training (few groups employ checklists on a constant basis like Pilots do), we updated a Boat buyers checklist that we posted on another site long ago and made it more current. Feel free to grab a copy below to help with your next Boat or Skiff buying process. We hope you find it helpful! 😎

In the meantime,
