Buying a boat from B & E Marine in Michigan City, Indiana? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask B & E Marine which models suit the waterways near Michigan City, Indiana.
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.
Check engine hours
Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at B & E Marine.
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like B & E Marine will accommodate this request.
Verify title and registration
Ask for the current title and confirm the hull identification number (HIN) matches. Check for any liens with your state boating agency. B & E Marine should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
Marine financing has unique terms. Here is what to know before financing a boat through B & E Marine in Michigan City, Indiana.
Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years for larger boats. Smaller boats are typically financed over 5 to 10 years.

Pro Tip
Get pre-approved by your bank before visiting B & E Marine — it gives you a rate to compare against dealer financing.

Great marina and dealership! I stopped in to look over a Sea Ray SLX400 for a client, and I was so impressed with B&E, I brought another client to Michigan City to browse new Sea Rays and Boston Whalers.
I purchased a new powerboat from B&E. The experience was terrific. From the purchase to the delivery and orientation, the service was excellent. I was impressed with our salesman Chris Cipares. He answered all of our questions during the whole process and gave a great orientation. He is very willing to answer questions after delivery and is extremely knowledgeable. Everyone at B&E made us feel like part of the family. I wish I could give six stars (out of five).
Great service department !!! All boat repairs top notch. Repair updates always in timely manner. Our 1999 Sea Ray holds great sentimental value and we appreciate all the qualty attention provided
Thank you Bryce and Warren for all your hard work and help with our boat. Your Service team always treats us great and solves any issues the boat might have! We have also had great success with the Sales Team as well! We highly recommend B&E Marine for all your boating needs! Regards, Phil & Roxy
