Buying a boat from Lima & Sons Marine, LLC in Saddle River, New Jersey? 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 Lima & Sons Marine, LLC which models suit the waterways near Saddle River, New Jersey.
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 Lima & Sons Marine, LLC.
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 Lima & Sons Marine, LLC 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. Lima & Sons Marine, LLC should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

So, i purchased a 2006 Boston Whaler 150, I got a good deal on it , so i new it would need a ton of work. I grew up in Upper Saddle River and always saw the Lima and Sons shop there on Rt 17. I decided to pay them a visit. Serg and his son were really helpful and explained what my best options were (to get the boat back on the water). My objective was to replace as much of the older parts with new oem parts (regardless of weather they were bad or not). While in the shop, they provided updates on the the current condition of the boat as well as the progress of work. They always gave me the best options to not strap me on the cost. They did a lot of work to my boat, so the turn around time for completion was a few weeks. They also took care of getting my trailer in shape (bearings, wheels, etc). Once back in the water, we started approaching the colder months and it was time to winterize and they took care of everything. Also, I needed a boat cover as my garage was not prepped for boat storage yet. I asked them to price me out. They came back with the cost of ordering one, but also provided me an option to purchase one that was already in their shop. The cover was brand new and they gave it to me at a fraction of the cost of a new one. Every time i go into the shop, I never get a bad attitude and they have always been a pleasure to do business with. I could go somewhere else, but the Lima and Sons experience seems very personal, and I just feel like they treat you like family... I guess that is the reason they have been there so long. Anyway, i thought this write up was overdue. I will always bring my boat to Lima and Sons. ...and thx for all the knowledge and help... A+++ Rob
Once again Lima & Sons came through for us at the last minute. We recently sold our boat (to get a bigger one!) but wanted to make sure the trailer was safe and the engine running well for the new buyer. Mike as always went above and beyond to adjust and fix the trailer and then fixed the engine to run more efficiently. The turnaround time was quick and communication was efficient. Will continue to always give them my business!
Super thankful for this place! Recently purchased a boat that needed a complete overhaul. Mike the mechanic was super friendly to myself and my wife. He helped me find the correct cables and even helped me troubleshoot when I was really struggling during installation. I highly recommend them and will bring my business here again and again given all the help from the beginning! Thank you!
Top tier service and professionalism! This family run business is phenomenal, and with their master technician on-site, I would not take my boat anywhere else. Even in a pinch, they have always been able to help me out and accommodate my boating needs. I use Lima and Sons to service, repair, winterize, wrap, and store my 25 foot boat. Kind, responsive, and professional. Look no further if you need a new shop, this is the place!
Buyer beware. Very good at covering their own interests at the expense of yours, all the while making you feel like they care about you. Giving 2 stars because the engine is good as is the hull. Only 2 because extremely disappointed with how my boat purchase went, and the lack of attention to obvious details, while assuring me that the boat would be pristine when taking possession. All talk, little action.
