- A number the same day in most cases
- Fair offers on quality boats, any brand
- One transaction, one desk, one day
- Trade on any boat on the lot or on order
How a trade works here
- Tell us the boat. Four short steps below, photos optional, five minutes.
- A number the same day. Joe looks at the boat, the market and the engines and calls you with a range and what moves it.
- Pick the next boat. Anything on the lot or on order. Your trade comes off the price and counts toward the down payment.

Questions
Trade-in questions we get every week
How does trading in my boat work?
Your boat comes off the price of the new one, it counts toward your down payment, and the payoff, title and registration all happen at one desk on one day.
How fast will I get a trade-in number?
A number the same day in most cases. Tell us the boat you have and the boat you want, and we put a same-day number on the difference.
Do you take trades on any brand of boat?
We make fair offers on quality boats of any brand, not just the lines we carry.
What if my trade still has a loan on it?
The payoff is handled at our desk as part of the deal, along with the title and registration. If you owe more than the boat is worth, the difference rolls into the new boat's financing in most cases; we will tell you the number before you decide anything.
Can I trade against a boat that is on order?
Yes. The trade value is agreed now and applied when the new boat lands. Under Winter Is On Us, we need to take possession of your trade by October 15, 2026 for the free winterization and storage to apply to the new boat.
What exactly does "winter is on us" cover?
Winterization and winter storage on the boat you are buying, when you trade in against any in-stock or ordered boat and we take possession of your trade by October 15, 2026. Ask Joe for the details on your boat.
Do I need photos or records to get a number?
No. Photos and service records help us give a tighter range up front, but the number is confirmed when we see the boat either way.
