Great experience buying my boat.
New to the whole boating scene so I was doing a lot of research and question asking. By far the best person in the multiple dealerships I visited was Joe Sandusky at Knot Marine. He took the time to answer everything I asked (and believe me it was a lot) I am extremely happy with the whole process and will continue to go there for service , tackle and any other boating needs
Recommend them ! Joe is a great guy to work with and honest about what they do. Will not up charge you for something minor as most places do. Good prices , they put a new outboard motor on my pontoon in a timely manner.
This is one of the best Marinas in Ohio! The customer service is exceptional, and they go over and above to help you! Highly recommend!

Boat Buyer's Guide – Knot Marine
Buying a boat from Knot Marine in Union, Kentucky? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
1
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 Knot Marine which models suit the waterways near Union, Kentucky.
2
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.
3
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 Knot Marine.
4
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 Knot Marine will accommodate this request.
5
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. Knot Marine should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I really appreciated how flexible Joe was when it looked like our originally scheduled rental day was going to be a rain out. Pricing was more than fair and we felt taken care of. Will definitely rent from them again if we are ever back in the area!

Great group of people. Everyone was as helpful as they could be from start to finish. We are very happy with our purchase of a new 2022 G3 Sportsman 2100. Good selection and fair pricing!
