Buying a boat from Nashville Boating Center in Hermitage, Tennessee? 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 Nashville Boating Center which models suit the waterways near Hermitage, Tennessee.
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 Nashville Boating Center.
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 Nashville Boating Center 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. Nashville Boating Center should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Founded more than 40 years ago in Franklin, TN with one focus—to provide unparalleled customer service to the boating community. Staying true to this principle has led to immense growth over the years. After outgrowing our Franklin store, we moved to a larger building in Hermitage. In 2022, we enhanced our building and built two new buildings a few minutes away to expand our service department and add a pre-owned boat location – bringing premium brands and unmatched service to the Nashville and middle Tennessee markets.

Jake and Vanh and all the crew ất Nashville Boating Center/The Boat Doctors did a fantastic job restoring my 1959 Glasspar. They are masters at fiberglass repair and gelcoat restoration and are very nice people to boot. We worked well together and they gave very helpful advice. They are very skilled at blending colors. Adrian at the upholstery shop also did a great job on the seats. I felt prices were fair. I saw a lot of the other boats they worked on and I would highly recommend them for any fiberglass boat repair be it large or small. Douglas Thomson Bowling Green, KY
The guys at Boat Locker are awesome! They always shoot me straight on price and fix it right the first time. Their work is top notch. Very satisfied with all work from fiberglass, gator step and all engine work. Will continue giving them my business
Went up here to buy some fabric, which they already had cut down to a yard figured I would go ahead and get 2 yards so I would have enough and was like well. I could just return what I don’t use since it was already cut down to size called back up here to make sure and they said they don’t accept returns And also acknowledged that they never told me they don’t accept returns. Definitely Just scamming people out of their money, not letting them return items not worth a headache for me but good to know. I won’t go back here again. I’d rather order and do everything else elsewhere and I would suggest someone else doing the same
Seems like they have a new pricing structure for 2025 service and I’m here for it! Very competitive rates and great service as always. Jake was great to work with and exceeded expectations!
Took our boat to get serviced and a new cover. I was told the time frame would be 1 to 1.5months. Over 3.5montha later, I had to push to get the boat out and they did not complete the trailer repair and did not install the new live scope. I have two stars because the new cover is nice but otherwise they seem to be unorganized leading to delays and missed work.
