Buying a boat from Bent Marine in Metairie, Louisiana? 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 Bent Marine which models suit the waterways near Metairie, Louisiana.
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 Bent 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 Bent 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. Bent Marine should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Pro Tip

Bought a Xpress 22 footer from there. Bryan was an awesome salesman! Kept me in touch throughout the whole process. Walked me through the boat, service schedule, break in period, and accessories, before delivery. Introduced me to the parts and service team and was extremely helpful. First time I put the boat in the water (on a Sunday) I couldn't figure something out and Bryan answered his phone and got me an answer! Totally above and beyond. Allison in finance is also incredible. Worked hard for me, always willing to answer my phone calls, and more than helpful! The whole team at Bent is very professional and work hard to get you what you want! I will recommend Bent Marine to anyone looking to purchase or just need a boat serviced.
Bent Marine took great care of me once again. There's a reason I keep coming back to this dealership when purchasing a boat. Very clean dealership and friendly staff. Josh Clement was my salesman on my recent purchase and he was professional, courteous and went above and beyond to assist me and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend Bent Marine if you are in the market for a new boat.
This is the second boat I have purchased with Bent Marine. Like the first time, The staff was friendly, Professional, and courteous. They kept me informed on the process of rigging it out. David and Allison were a pleasure to deal with. Overall, I had a smooth and pleasurable experience, and I certainly would recommend Bent Marine to friends.
Brought boat in for service. They made a big issue about my battery connections, which i had to make in an emergency. Charged me 175.00. Did not replace the one wire connector that needed to be replaced. Wouldnt give me a 10cent part to do myself. Said I had to go buy a pack of connectors. I willbot
We had a great experience at Bent Marine. Our family outgrew our old boat, and the team at Bent Marine helped us trade it in and find a better fit. David Stark was a great communicator and kept us apprised of models, options, and delivery dates. Once the new boat arrived, he took time to take us to the lake to make sure we were comfortable operating it and could take advantage of all the new features. We anticipate loving this boat for many years, but when it’s time for the next, we’ll be back!
