Buying a boat from Fox Lake Harbor in Fox Lake, Illinois? 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 Fox Lake Harbor which models suit the waterways near Fox Lake, Illinois.
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 Fox Lake Harbor.
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 Fox Lake Harbor 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. Fox Lake Harbor should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Ive bought many boats through out the years by far the worst experience x10. Sales side of it "Salesman" was horrible to say the least and we will leave it at that. On a positive Note: Jan in the office was exceptional and the delivery guy saved the sale he went above and beyond. Definitely a shout out to those two. WILL never go back or recommend. This is the first time I have ever left a negative review, but they deserved it...
I had the pleasure of working with Tim on my new lund impact. Tim was knowledgeable about the product line as an avid angler myself I was aware of what I wanted but he made sure to point out some new features for the season. If your looking for a new Lund contact Tim at Fox lake harbor today. Hey Tim, don't forget to plug it in for me so it's ready in the morning!
So after many years, I decided to repower my old pontoon boat. I was always curious about the process, and anxious about the outcome. Let me tell you, Fox Lake Harbor exceeded my expectations. As a lover of all that is boating and the river community, I want to share my repower adventure. Fox Lake Harbor was gracious enough to get me pics of the process. Going from a 50hp injected 4 stroke Evinrude to a new 115hp 4 stroke Mercury meant full removal of the motor, the wiring harness, all the gauges and controls. They seemlessly installed all new wiring gauges, controls, motor, and fuel lines. The outcome was a perfect install visually. It looks like it was built this way. Anything that was old, or of concern was brought to my attention immediately. No hidden costs, and no up charges. They are family owned and treated me like a river neighbor, as we all should be doing. Upon pick up they went through the whole process, explaining it all to my over excited girls and making it a really pleasant experience. Now we can tube, and feel confident in the reliability of a new motor. A great upgrade to any structurally sound older pontoon. I highly recommend Neil Moulis and the team at Fox Lake Harbor.
Fox Lake Harbor has taken care of me for years. We recently purchased a new 2024 Crest with a 150hp Mercury 4-stroke engine. After around 100 hours of use, we experienced a catastrophic motor failure. Mike immediately took on the challenge and had us back on the water with a completely new motor in less than two weeks. Most of that time was spent waiting for Mercury to ship the new motor, but once it arrived, they had it installed and ready to go within hours! This is the place you want to buy from—service after the sale is what truly matters. Thank you, Mike Scornavacco
Awesome experience with Tim purchasing a new boat and the Service Team helped also. Made the experience a very positive one. Would highly recommend them.
