Buying a boat from Nichols Marine - Longview in Longview, 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 Nichols Marine - Longview which models suit the waterways near Longview, 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 Nichols Marine - Longview.
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 Nichols Marine - Longview will accommodate this request.

I can't say enough good things about Nichols. The best customer service hands down. We bought a boat there 6 years ago and Dana, Johnnie, Daryl and Joe have done their best taking care of the warranty work, repairs and service on our boat quickly and professionally every time, even after 6 years they still treat me like I just bought a brand new boat, a lot of the time getting it done same day, never more than a few days on major things. When it comes to buying a boat, you definitely want to buy it at a place where you know you will get good service when you need your boat worked on or serviced.
I bought a ranger rt188p from them. Easy to work with.
Dana, Johnny, “Joe”, and Daryl….what a team?! They are always ‘looking out and making sure I am enjoying and working my Ranger!! Thanks to a Great Nichols Marine Team!
The sales and office staff were very helpful. Special thanks to Johnnie Herrera! My wife and I had a very pleasant experience at Nichols Marine and would recommend them. Definitely would shop here again for a boat in the future.
Had a great experience with Daryl, their parts manager. Searched several Ranger dealers from DFW to Austin to Shreveport only to be told that parts were unavailable or 6-8 weeks out. Daryl went to work and ordered me two complete hub, spindle, rotor and bearings sets for my Ranger trailer which was broke down in Corsicana. It was a miracle, we had 'em three days later and was able to transport them to Corsicana. Got them on the next day, problem solved. There were dealers that even called their Ranger rep. that didn't have any luck. Thank you Daryl, you saved me. Not sure how you did it but you did.
