Buying a boat from Chessie Marine Sales Inc. in Elkton, Maryland? 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 Chessie Marine Sales Inc. which models suit the waterways near Elkton, Maryland.
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 Chessie Marine Sales Inc..
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 Chessie Marine Sales Inc. 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. Chessie Marine Sales Inc. should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Just completed purchase of our second boat with Chessie Marine and can’t say enough positive things about Chris and the entire team. The whole experience from purchase to service and now back again has been amazing. Looking forward to creating more family memories on the boat this summer!
Thought I'd drop you guys a line and tell you we are loving the Wakesetter 23 LSV. So glad we got the 23 ft boat, had plenty of times with 16 people in it. If you need a sales pitch with someone like me, tell them if spending the extra 30K won't materially change your financial position, get the bigger boat, because if you have friends or family, it will indeed materially change your options. Hope all is well. Probably see you in 4 years when the warranty is up. :)
My family met the Chessie team in the Chantilly boat show in Virginia. They assisted us with our first purchase of our Malibu Wakesetter MXZ 2024. Can’t be more grateful to them for everything they did from answering all (lots) of my questions, openness to talk, honesty and integrity. They walked me through every step along the way. They are a team and family like no other. Family owned business that is in the business for the families. Chris, Adam, Bryan and the rest of the team are amazing! In addition to their boats, all accessories in their show room are premium and comparable with online pricing. No need to look any further, this is the place to go!
We stopped to look for a surf/wakeboard boat. Chris was super friendly and helpful. He was never pushy and spent a lot of time with us answering questions, showing us options, and understanding what we wanted. He helped us find the right boat then arranged to take it out on the water for a demo. We had a great time surfing and checking things out. The buying process was super smooth. They had everything ready to go. Super easy and super fun. Just what buying a boat should be.
Chris was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of our questions, explain the features of different models, and provide thoughtful advice based on our boating goals. His professionalism and dedication were evident from the moment we walked in the boat show all the way through to demo & signing day, he made the whole buying process feel effortless.
