Buying a boat from Marine Outlet in Temple, Texas? 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 Marine Outlet which models suit the waterways near Temple, Texas.
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 Marine Outlet.
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 Marine Outlet 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. Marine Outlet should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I cannot say enough great things about this place. From buying my boat last year to quick responses and always being able to talk to someone about technical support and advice, this place was well worth my multiple hour drive to do business. I’d recommend them to anyone
I took my boat and motor to them Saturday. They were friendly and very through and talked confidently about correcting any problems my motor has. The guy how did the intake was awesome and talked about how good their mechanics were.
Update: Lawsuit has been Filed against Marine Outlet and owner (Rick Smith) on 2/3/2026. I will update with results. BOATER BEWARE! I've been buying boat parts from Rick for years. I always had good customer service from them, until the day I made the horrible decision to trust them to work on my 96' Crownline that had very nice interior when I dropped off my boat. If they would have told me that their only mechanic is "semi retired" and that my total wait time would be a year, I would have taken it somewhere else. My boat was having intermittent power loss problems while under a load. Dave recommended converting my EFI to a carburetor set up without even diagnosing the issue. I agreed, because it is a reputable shop. He told me it would cost me around $3,500. I told him, "If the boat will run good then go ahead." They charged me $6,000 and the only extra work done was replacing my starter and my water Impeller that Dave burned up and then carged me for it, because he didnt open a valve on my exhaust manifold and let water circulate properly and let it run hot. Dave called me a complete year later and told me my boat was ready. I showed up and paid them and when they brought out my boat, it was truly unrecognizable. My upholstery was completely destroyed where they had removed upholstery and damaged it putting it back in or taking it out. Tons of holes in my upholstery. Rick Smith offered to pay for half of the damages. When I went back a few weeks to check on any progress, he informed me he will not be helping with any of the repairs. Rick is a very dishonest crook. He lied about not having intake photos of my boat, not knowing one of his workers had already shown me them and had agreed that there was a substantial amount of damage done. My advise to you is stay far away from Marine Outlet. Rick's health is really deteriorating along with his busniess. He is no longer serving the community with the standards I belive the shop had when he started his busniess. Don't let Dave anywhere near your boat. He obviously has lost his passion for boats and you can see it in his work. He is super lazy leaving oily finger prints all over my white interior. Didn't even bother wiping or cleaning it. The first thing I noticed was someone had attempted to bolt the engine cover on, with the hinges upside down. They ended up just leaving my engine cover completely unbolted and they were going to let me drive it down the road like that knowing it would fly off. Please dont give these guys your money. If they ripped off a disabled vet like myself, they will have zero problem doing it to you. I took my boat home where it sits from having a substantial amount of water damage to my decking, from them leaving it left outside for a entire year uncovered after I had expressed to them concerns of it being exposed to the elements after driving by a few week after dropping it off. They parked it around back where I couldn't see it for 12 months.
Amazing place! Better prices than anyone around, great customer service could if asked for a better experience! Can’t wait to get my kayak on the water!
Severely disappointed. Bought a boat new in 2007 and had good experience. This time I inquired about a used boat they had listed. Salesman called my phone at least once but mostly twice a day for a week. Also sent a handful of emails, mostly junk. Finally went to go look at boat at the dealership. It was disgustingly dirty, with moldy Bimini and what appeared to be years of dirt and grime covering every square inch of the surfaces (carpet, upholstery, fixtures). Carpet on boat was destroyed, upholstery was torn and stained badly, and overall it really smelled quite bad. Painfully obvious the dealership put zero effort into cleaning/repairing/maintaining the boat, but still wanted over industry standard evaluation guide prices.
