Buying a boat from Gotcha Covered in Inman, South Carolina? 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 Gotcha Covered which models suit the waterways near Inman, South Carolina.
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 Gotcha Covered.
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 Gotcha Covered 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. Gotcha Covered should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

The search for a boat is filled with high expectations. Undoubtedly, that has a lot to do with the vehicles you are considering, but at Gotcha Covered, we think you should also have pretty high expectations for your dealership.
I bought a new Bennington pontoon boat from David in 2014. That experience was great but only the beginning of a wonderful 11 year relationship. Had it service there as well which just enhanced the relationship.. From office staff, sales, to service dept, it's always the same professional straightforward way of doing business. The boat was severely damaged as a result of Helene in September 2024, and was totalled by insurance. I spoke with Will about the estimated cost of repairing it, paid the insurance company the salvage value, got the payoff and kept the boat Gotcha and the team just finished with the repairs and it looks brand new, and came in under estimate. I couldn't be more pleased. Reliable, honest, genuine folks without exception. Recommend them to anyone for purchasing a boat or servicing of an existing boat. Hats off to David, Will, Dawn, Danny, Darian, and the entire team. Jim and Patti Keene.
I lost my boat to these guys all because they said they dont guess at parts said they would never do tht yet tbey called and said i owe them 2000 to move forward and it still wasnt fixed one charge after another still no boat fixed took my engine out of tbe boat and basicy said i could pay wht tbey allready done and come get my boat not running with engine on a crate really bad service there
Terrible experience!!! Took my pontoon for its yearly maintenance and was told the engine was bad, the compression was low and could not be fixed. They would replace the engine for $15,000 and charged $135 just to tell me this. I went to pick it up to take for a 2nd opinion and they had lost my cover and tore the bimini. It was filthy where they had left in uncovered. I took it to Holden Marina in Spartanburg and the engine did not need replacing, just servicing, nothing was wrong with the engine. Needless to say, I would not trust them again!
The worst service ever. They promised things they later forgot about. Multiple times. They ordered me a toon to add to the pontoon boat I boat from them in July this past year. They said it was in months ago and I still haven't heard from them . They told me because of all of the " misunderstandings " they would upgrade my stereo system and speakers. Dave the owner said this . It's been months and haven't heard back. They prided themselves on their service as a selling point as a small family owned business which got me to buy a 70k boat from them. I now regret it. Oh also, somehow in the first couple months of owning the boat the water in fuel alarm went off causing me to get it out of the water for them to flush and service. They charged me over $600 and said warranty doesn't cover it...
Great boat dealer. They were great with repairs on my old boat. I got a great deal on my new Stingray 206CC with an Evinrude 150 HO ETEC G2 Outboard.
