Buying a boat from Champion Marine in Clearwater, Florida? 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 Champion Marine which models suit the waterways near Clearwater, Florida.
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 Champion 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 Champion 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. Champion 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 Champion Marine in Clearwater, Florida.
Typical Loan Terms

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

First class treatment from Richard, “the boat guy”, at Champion Marine. Found him on marketplace looking for an affordable boat, he more than helped us feel at ease buying a used boat. Their techs did all the things right getting us on the water. On our test drive, Richard taught me to get this 22’ deck boat up on plane. Now that we trailered it home and put it in Tampa Bay ourselves with success, I can confidently recommend Richard Johnson to anyone looking for a smart deal from a boating and customer service enthusiast. Thanks again for giving this first time boat owner patience and quality!
I recently purchased my new 272CC Sailfish from Champion Marine, and the experience exceeded expectations at every level. My salesman, Richard Johnson, was exceptional throughout the entire process. His depth of product expertise is immediately apparent, and he took a thoughtful, consultative approach to ensure every detail aligned perfectly with what I wanted. Richard consistently went above and beyond, advocating for my needs and making the process seamless from selection to delivery. The delivery and rigging were executed flawlessly, reflecting the high standards Champion Marine is known for. The attention to detail, overall quality, and professionalism were outstanding, and the post-sale support has been just as impressive—responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely customer-focused. If you’re in the market for a boat and want a premium experience from start to finish, I highly recommend Champion Marine, and I strongly recommend working with Richard Johnson. He sets the standard for what a great buying experience should be.
Great experience here. Viewed a Viaggio at the Tampa boat show last weekend where we met Richard. He was communicative throughout the whole search and buying process, and worked well with my husband and I. We would recommend going to Richard at Champion Marine.
I want to express my sincerest gratitude for the exceptional attention we received when purchasing our Viaggio Pontoon at Champion Marine. From the very beginning, the service was outstanding, and I especially want to highlight Jesús and Dean, the manager. Jesús demonstrated a level of professionalism, honesty, and commitment that truly exceeded our expectations. He was always clear, direct, and transparent at every step of the process. He made sure to understand our needs, guided us with patience and dedication, and delivered exactly on everything he promised. Dean, the manager, was equally fantastic—friendly, supportive, and even enjoying my music playlist, which made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. Their personalized attention, kindness, and reliability made a huge difference in our experience. Thank you, Jesús and Dean, for your excellent support and for providing us with such high-quality service. We are truly grateful. We recommend them 100%
