Buying a boat from COASTAL BOATING CENTER in Savannah, Georgia? 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 COASTAL BOATING CENTER which models suit the waterways near Savannah, Georgia.
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 COASTAL BOATING CENTER.
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 COASTAL BOATING CENTER 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. COASTAL BOATING CENTER should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Good boat prices. that's about where it ends , they don't believe in a check off list pertaining to is the buyer getting everything in working order and all items included. Gas gauge didn't work at all on brand new boat and was replaced with a gauge from tool box or somewhere outback but not from box new. they didn't take the time to make sure it was calibrated accurately as possible, I will have to calibrate myself or take to another shop as replacement gauge is far from semi accurate. When I first inspected boat prior to purchase there was wash down hose and nozzle in center console upon receiving boat it was no longer there and had to return for that item. I guess they figure you have nothing better to do than run up and down hi ways to there facility to get what should have never left the boat and what should be working.The boat is way over propped and not running close to max suggested rpms. Do businesses like this really think you're bringing back service work . Id drive 100 miles in opposite direction for additional work.I had to fix wiring on trailer as well because incorrectly wired and was not returning once again. Horrible I'll be repairing etc. on new boat and trailer a little longer before all things are corrected. I typically don't write reviews but this is so wrong.
I recently purchased a boat from this dealership, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From start to finish, the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. In particular, Scott, the technician, went above and beyond to ensure that my boat was in perfect condition and took the time to address all of my questions and concerns. His expertise and dedication truly made the purchasing process seamless and enjoyable. I highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a boat!
We searched the entire south and southeast coast for competitive prices and no one could touch the offer we received from Coastal Boating. Additionally, they are a family owned business whom I witnessed to have very meticulous processes and solid work ethic. They are some of the most kindest and genuine good hearted people that I have met in a long time; even my children commented on how kind and authentic they were. Just when you think you cannot find kindness and a good deal these days while keeping your best interest in mind, all while making a big purchase... Well I am here to share, this kind of service Does Exist here at coastal boating. I do not write many reviews, but after we experienced several other interactions with less than optimal services over the last year or so, Coastal Boating deserves this kind of recognition. Hell of a first impression - Give them a good look if looking for a boat. All the best!
My father and I stopped by on a whim to ask some questions about repowering an older boat. After multiple hours on their lot asking questions and looking around, we felt confident doing business with them. Rick and his staff at Coastal Boating Center are very knowledgeable and helpful. We could not be happier with the experience. A well informed group to make anyone confident throughout the buying process!
The history of my purchase must be mentioned first ! I stopped in multiple times over the last year kicking tires and asking questions about multiple boats, options, you name it, I asked it. I was never pressured to buy, the staff was more than helpful every time. Scott gladly stopped doing whatever he was doing to field my questions. The actual process of choosing the options I wanted was straight forward and square. I was changing my mind right up to the last day before production.....it was never a problem, with no attitude to boot !! The deposit and purchasing of the boat was easy, and everything was delivered on time, as ordered, detailed and ready to go with proper scheduling for pick-up. The people made the difference for me, and it has been proven after taking delivery of the Keywest with additional questions gladly answered. Take a good look at this company if you are in the market.
