Buying a boat from First Phase Marine in Gravois Mills, Missouri? 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 First Phase Marine which models suit the waterways near Gravois Mills, Missouri.
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 First Phase 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 First Phase 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. First Phase Marine should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

My name is Brandon, I was born and raised in the lake area and always have had a passion for boats and boating. Especially since there is no way we could have been able to afford one growing up! After spending 21 years in sales, mostly at large marine dealerships, I learned the value of my relationships with most everyone in the marine business. Its a big lake and a small local area. Everyone is always willing to help when they can so I thought the logical thing to do was to bring my resources together and form my own boat dealership. So from my family to yours, "Welcome to First Phase Marin...
Brandon is a great guy. Had a good experience buying a boat from him. He also sells a cleaning product (Butt Seat Spray) for vinyl seats that actually works! Here's a pic of the sun pad half cleaned with the product on the left, and the right side is just soap and water.
Brandon was absolutely great to work with. I contacted him for a new trailer. He gave options, we decided which route to go and he delivered. The trailer is exactly what we paid for and he graciously let us store it there until we could make it to town to pick it up. I would highly recommend this company if you are looking for a trailer and I will definitely refer all my lake friends!
Looking for a boat, called, Brandon called me back and talked for over 15 min on a busy Saturday. Took the time to listen to what we want, then advised us that we do not need to rush to buy now, that if we at patient, we can get allot for our budget. Not you normal Sleazy sales person. We are 100% comfortable and thrilled knowing he his our guy
Great company that does what they say they’re going to do. We’re happy with our 260 Sea Ray.
Hey Brandon just wanted to thank for your help with the trailer! It was set up perfectly no adjustment needed. Also checked lugs and had a couple that took 1/4 turn. Appreciate your professionalism
