Buying a boat from Nichols Marine - McAlester in McAlester, Oklahoma? 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 - McAlester which models suit the waterways near McAlester, Oklahoma.
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 - McAlester.
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 - McAlester 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. Nichols Marine - McAlester should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I cant say enough about Chris, Hunter, & Clint! They are a great team! B.O.A.T (Bust out another Thousand) Well NOT HERE! I have an older boat that is unusually in need of something, and these guys keep my family on the water and in budget every time. They know I am trying to keep repair costs within reason and always work with me and communicate my options before the work is done. After our last visit our 20 year old boat ran better than it ever has and gave us the best weekend on the lake. Thanks guys! You rock!!
Got a great deal on a Bennington in 2022 and still love it. The sales team listened to what we wanted and got us exactly what we were asking for ordered. Great team!
If I could give them a 0 I would. I wouldnt recommend this dealership to a enemy.
The guys at Nichols Marine helped us out on a couple problems with our Mercury 150 outboard when other shops would not answer the phone or call us back. They got us in and back out on the water in good time. The only real wait was on parts to ship in, but they tracked the part to let us know when they expected to have the job done. Then they called to let us know our boat was ready ahead of schedule. Thanks guys!
Disabled veteran with investments. Retired at 43 but I don't "look" like I have 100k to buy new boat so I don't get helped or treated as such. When in fact I'd prob be your best customer But I go in there in flip flops sundrenched and in shorts. Lil do they know !!! Townhouse lake house truck and boat all paid off at 43 but yeah keep treating me like I look.
