Buying a boat from Cataumet Boats- Upper Cape in Cataumet, Massachusetts? 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 Cataumet Boats- Upper Cape which models suit the waterways near Cataumet, Massachusetts.
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 Cataumet Boats- Upper Cape.
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 Cataumet Boats- Upper Cape 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. Cataumet Boats- Upper Cape should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

The second generation at Cataumet Boats, Pete Way, Jr. and Sheila (Way) Giancola, remains focused on the philosophy behind the company's long-term success.
Wish you could give zero stars. These people are horrible and do NOT want to sell boats. They have had a Grady White outside their showroom for 5 months. We inquired so many times, ask questions, stopped there and talked to the owner (can't remember her name, extremely unfriendly). Here we are in mid September and the boat is still sitting there. Oh, and they now have it priced at the same price we offered and were told we were completely off. Steve Hamel and the entire staff is rude, impossible to get in touch with, and have no customer service skills. Too bad. Now we just laugh every time we drive by that boat still sitting there.
5 Stars !!! Steve Hamel - Sales Manager was simply Amazing !!! Along with the other STAFF of Cataumet Boats, I bought a 2016 Grady White Freedom 255, I would Do business with Steve Hamel & Cataumet Boats Inc again in a Heart Beat, VERY Professional operation 24/7, First Class & IMHO Cataumet Boats Inc represents Grady White Boats incredibly well. From Johnny Gervais
I called the Harwich location needing some parts for my family's boat that was being towed in from the ocean. I didn't know the specifics of the engine, but the gentleman who answered the phone was extremely helpful. He took what information I did have to see if they could help. Shortly after, Tyler (also very nice and knowledgable) called me back, found out all the parts I needed, and even had them in stock. Would 100% recommend this place! Staff is excellent!
I used them for maintenance on my personal boat as well as 3 work boats from 2007 - 2011. All had Yamaha outboards ranging from 50-130 hp. Pro -Their mechanics were competent and seemed to get the job done correctly every time Con -Their customer service reps were consistently very rude no matter what time of year we went in -They were VERY expensive, in 2009 I paid $438 for a water pump replacement on a 50 hp outboard. -In 2015, I got a quote for a new 70 hp outboard and they were $1,300 more expensive on labor than the next quote I got, though they were $200- $300 cheaper for the motor itself. Recommendations -To buy an outboard check out Bayside Marine in Wesport (i don't work there just a happy customer) -To get work done on Cape, try Boat Worx
Bought a brokerage boat from these guys. First class operation. Highly recommend.
