Buying a boat from Mies Outland Watkins in Watkins, Minnesota? 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 Mies Outland Watkins which models suit the waterways near Watkins, Minnesota.
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 Mies Outland Watkins.
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 Mies Outland Watkins 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. Mies Outland Watkins should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Charley and Dustin were excellent to deal with. Great communication leading up to my visit. I had some questions and concerns about a used sled I was looking at, so Dustin brought me back to the service area to talk with the mechanic and they ran some tests to make sure everything checked out. Honest, helpful, and attentive to my needs with this purchase. One of the best buying experiences I’ve ever had. They even had someone spend some time with me after the purchase to walk me through the options and operation of this particular snowmobile and answer all my questions. I stopped by the parts desk to order some accessories, and they didn’t disappoint either. I live a couple hours away and have a local dealership, but I’m absolutely coming back here for my service needs and future purchases. Seeing the showroom was worth the trip alone! Top notch operation!
Mathew was awesome! Did an amazing job, made my purchase a breeze. Definitely worth the trip up from Texas.
Charlie was absolutely amazing. He found us the perfect side-by-side! I would highly recommend this place. Ask for Charlie, he’s the best.
Do NOT go there if you want to negotiate or want a deal! We just went to buy a used Gator and trade ours in and they told us we would only get $5 thousand for ours when our Gator is worth $11k in mint condition! We went to another dealer and got our $11k and bought new! Mies was a joke! They do not want to negotiate and they are not eager to sell anything. Parker was nice but never even got back to me! I had to go in and talk to him and when I walked in the store no one offered to help me! Parker was busy sitting at his desk! I had to go to the front to ask for help! I will NEVER go back!
Quick and easy to deal with, Charley got the deal done and I was off, up the street, on my new Indian Chief in no time. I got an incredible deal too!
