Buying a boat from Nelsons Speed Shop in GREENVILLE, Michigan? 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 Nelsons Speed Shop which models suit the waterways near GREENVILLE, Michigan.
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 Nelsons Speed Shop.
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 Nelsons Speed Shop 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. Nelsons Speed Shop should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
Marine financing has unique terms. Here is what to know before financing a boat through Nelsons Speed Shop in GREENVILLE, Michigan.
Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years for larger boats. Smaller boats are typically financed over 5 to 10 years.
Down Payment
10% to 20% is standard. Some lenders require more for older vessels.
Pro Tip
Get pre-approved by your bank before visiting Nelsons Speed Shop — it gives you a rate to compare against dealer financing.

Dereck did an amazing job with my sxs trade in. Very knowledgeable and very professional. Him and his team made an amazing deal for us and dropped off the new and picked up the old. I highly recommend seeing dereck when you need a new toy!
Im going to keep this review short, sweet and to the point. They had the sxs we were looking for, Samuel was a great salesman, the other staff was friendly, we were in and out in 30 minutes.
I just ordered a 2025 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS. My salesman Sam DeBoer was so easy to deal with. I ordered several accessories and a complete plow system and Sam put it all together and when all accesories arrived he delivered as promised. I am not new to Nelson Speed shop. I got back to the 90's buying snowmobiles, ATVs, Custom trailers and have always been very pleased with their support and pricing. I am happy to give them 5 stars
"My first experience with Fox/Nelson's was fantastic! Our salesperson, Mitch, was incredibly helpful and truly flexible with our schedule. We were especially impressed that he prioritized our needs by coming in on his day off just so we could test drive the machine we were interested in. The entire team was welcoming and made the purchasing process straightforward and easy. If you are looking for new equipment or a boat, I highly recommend checking out Fox/Nelson's!"
I'm from out of town- stopped in for a part for my 2011 Sea Doo. Ron in parts was awesome and got me what I needed to get back on the water! Great folks from my experience. I will definitely go back in the future for service on my ski.
