Buying a boat from Crabtree RV Center in Alma, Arkansas? 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 Crabtree RV Center which models suit the waterways near Alma, Arkansas.
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 Crabtree RV 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 Crabtree RV 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. Crabtree RV Center should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Great Parts department, left a voice mail got a call back within 10min telling me they had what I needed. Both guys were friendly and worked together to check me out. Need more parts and Service departments like these guys.
Absolutely love the camper we got from them. However, I cannot recommend working with them financially. After sitting with a financial advisor, we decided to refinance and found thousands of dollars in fees were put in with the loan. This decreased the upfront cost but made the terms of the loan much worse in the long term. If you plan to buy they have good and knowledgeable salesmen but DO NOT finance. Go to your own bank or lender that you trust.
New 5th wheel purchase. My wife & I were looking to downsize our 5th wheel. Once we decided on a model and floor plan, I started searching the internet. We live 4.5 hours from Crabtree RV. Terry, our salesman, was terrific. I first spoke with him on the phone. Over the next 7-10 days we also had several phone & text conversations. He was great at answering our questions & explaining details of the 5th wheel we were looking at. We were not going to purchase without first seeing the 5th wheel. So, we drove to Arkansas. We had other commitments for the day. Terry, graciously, volunteered to come in early. We inspected the 5th wheel. Terry was a no-pressure salesman. He was patient, but attentive to our needs. He actually moved away from us so that we could have private conversation. He also stayed close enough in case we had questions. He didn’t pretend to have all of the answers. He was confident in saying, “I don’t know, but I will find out for you.” He was very attentive to both my wife & myself. In the past I have encountered sales people that wouldn’t recognize my wife’s voice in the buying process. We put a deposit down, gave a few days for them to prep for delivery and for my schedule to accommodate exchanging 5th wheels and completing the deal. We believe we received a fair deal. The administrative fee ($129) is better than most. The location of Crabtree RV is easy access off I40. Service(Austin) swapped out my gooseneck hitch, provided me with an informative walk-through, and answered my questions. If/When we decide to shop for a new camper Crabtree RV will be my first contact. Thanks for a great buying experience.
A really great group of people work here. Everyone I interacted with were super nice and friendly, and they all made the whole buying process super smooth and easy. Greg was the salesman I had and he really made the experience fantastic. He really listened to what my needs were and answered all my questions. He was great to work with. Austin did my final walkthrough and made sure I understood where all the different connections were and how they worked. He also ended up being the guy to deliver it for us as well. We wanted it in a pretty tight spot for right now, but he had it in there in no time. I think it probably only took about 10 minutes total, if even that. Definitely recommend if you're looking to get an RV of any sort, or need anything RV related!
We had Austin Shores as our onsite technician and he was very professional, personable, informative, and punctual. Would highly recommend him and Crabtree RV Center to anyone needing a very fair cost and prompt RV repair! Thanks again friends, and God bless.
