Buying a boat from Magnum Boating Inc. in Moneta, Virginia? 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 Magnum Boating Inc. which models suit the waterways near Moneta, Virginia.
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 Magnum Boating Inc..
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 Magnum Boating Inc. 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. Magnum Boating Inc. should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

We had an incredible experience purchasing our boat from Magnum Boating. Tim and Caroline were amazing throughout the entire process. They really took the time to understand our family’s needs and helped us find the perfect fit. Their knowledge of boats and equipment was impressive, and they made sure we felt confident and informed every step of the way. What stood out most was how genuine and welcoming they were—they truly made us feel like family. We strongly recommend Magnum Boating, especially Tim and Caroline, for all your boating needs!
I bought my first boat through Magnum Boating. The staff here is GREAT! When buying from Magnum, you’re getting a support team for all things boating! If you’re looking for a new or used boat in the Smith Mountain Lake area, I highly recommend you stop by Magnum and ask for Zach. He’s Honest and will shoot ya straight! They just installed a new trolling motor for me!
I cannot thank Magnum Boating enough! Me and my wife were looking for a used boat so we stopped in at Magnum Boating. Zach helped us with every step along the way, one of the best buying experiences I've had considering how nervous I was getting into Boating. They make you feel like family! They even offered a orientation to go out on our new boat and learn everything about it! Thank You! If you are in the market for a boat, definitely consider Magnum Boating! A++++
Had the best experience purchasing our first boat with Tim and Caroline. Extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and knew what we wanted. The boat is amazing and our family couldn’t be happier. 10/10 experience will keep my business with MAGNUM BOATING!
We first met Tim and Caroline twelve years ago. They sold us our first boat, and we used it to create countless memories, explore seemingly every inch of SML and introduce family and friends to the lake. With a growing extended family, it was time to upgrade earlier this summer. Tim, Caroline and Zach worked to help us identify a new boat, lined up financing and even helped coordinate an upfit to our existing boat slip to accommodate a larger boat. And they did all of this in one week with the attention to detail and commitment to outstanding service that is the hallmark of Magnum Boating.
