How the Trade-In Process Works

1) Get your trade value online
Tell us your boat year, make, model, hours, key features, trailer details, and any recent service.

2) On-site inspection
Bring the boat (and trailer, if applicable). We check hull/gelcoat, engine(s), compression where applicable, electronics, upholstery, and accessories.

3) Final offer & paperwork
Approve your written offer and choose cash purchase or apply the value to a new-to-you boat. We’ll handle payoff/lien release and title transfer.
