Buying a boat from Erickson Marine Corp. in Sarasota, 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 Erickson Marine Corp. which models suit the waterways near Sarasota, 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 Erickson Marine Corp..
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 Erickson Marine Corp. 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. Erickson Marine Corp. should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years for larger boats. Smaller boats are typically financed over 5 to 10 years.

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

Traded my 1994 24’ mako on a brand new 2013 Contender 28 sport in 2013 with Chris Erickson and changed the way I fished for many years. Best boat I’ve ever owned until today!! Just ran my new 2025 Contender 32st from Sarasota to Hudson fl. Chris gave me a good trade in on my old boat and has the new one set up just right.From the first call to delivery was a first class experience! Thank you Erickson Marine!!
Wow - what a great experience! Chris and Jim were both so helpful. They immediately make you feel like a lifelong friend. I love my new Sportsman and would definitely recommend buying from Erickson Marine. The whole process was seamless. They are not some big flashy franchise - I've been to those guys too. Erickson is family owned and operated and man does it show. Excellent job guys - you've definitely got my business!! Thanks so much
Drove 16 hrs for my boat. When i arrived they treated me like I was buying a 10 million dollar boat. The sales staff, everyone right down to the boat detailers where incredible. They went abouve and beyond doing extra stuff to the boat they didnt have to do. Paperwork was was done when I arrived. was absolutely one of the best experiences ive had buying a boat. Thank you and all your staff..A+++++++
We bought our Sportsman masters 207 from Erickson. We needed 100hr. service and wanted a trolling motor installed, including on board charger and everything that goes with it. I'm 2hrs. away so made a deal to drop at the sales lot on Saturday so I didn't have to burn vac. day. They had everything done and I picked it up today (Saturday) ,what a clean and professional job. Thank you Erickson Marine and Cody and Joe and everyone else who had a hand in this.
What a wonderful 5 star experience from the whole Erickson team. From the first contact with Chad and online build, follow up visit to their dealership and tour of different Robalo models, ordering and delivery with Chris, they all are responsive and caring. Even more, was how well they handled brokering my trade - Tom did an outstanding job of promoting through multiple nationwide sites and he stayed on the leads resulting in a sale in under 30 days. Dave, Cody, Tyra and the service crew worked so hard to deliver my new R270 on December 22 for a very special family Christmas with our new boat. At every step, including follow up service, they make you feel like you are important. Bill Erickson and his family and whole team are first class! We love our new Robalo and are so proud to be an Erickson customer. Ron H
