Buying a boat from Long Island Marina in Catawba, North 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 Long Island Marina which models suit the waterways near Catawba, North 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 Long Island Marina.
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 Long Island Marina 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. Long Island Marina should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I cannot say enough great things about this place and Eben who has been able to answer many questions for me as a new boat owner. The service after the sale has been phenomenal and I am find myself grateful time and time again for Eben's wisdom and patience. 10 STAR!!!
Long Island Marina was the first dealer I visited at the Charlotte Boat Show. I fell in love with the Bentley Bolt, its performance factor and the family was incredibly nice, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and no pressure. We decided to move forward with a custom order and are very happy - boat was delivered last week!!! We met many family members along the way - their family owned and operated Dealership Marina & Service Center is top notch!!! While you visit them you can sink your teeth into burgers, hot dogs and homemade French fries - if you're in the market for a boat, you must visit them!!!
We just purchased a 24 foot Bentley Tritoon from Long Island Marina, and couldn’t be happier! We met Eban at the Charlotte Boat Show, and he was such a pleasure to talk to. He walked us through all the models available and the benefits each offered. I knew we wanted to do business with them, and they were able to find the perfect boat for my family. The entire process was incredible, and surely highlighted by their customer first mentality. We are so happy with our purchase and will be looking to work with Eban and his team for all of our future needs.
Long Island Marina is great, but Josh is what truly makes it exceptional. I have a Bentley boat, and every time I’ve needed help, Josh has been there without hesitation. He goes above and beyond to keep things running smoothly and makes you feel like your boat is his top priority.
Fantastic marina! We purchased our boat from them and also have our slip there. Great full service marina (mechanic and fuel on site) and a fantastic family run business. Highly recommend! Shout out to Eben for always being available to answer our questions!
