Buying a boat from NW Yachtnet - Tacoma in Tacoma, Washington? 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 NW Yachtnet - Tacoma which models suit the waterways near Tacoma, Washington.
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 NW Yachtnet - Tacoma.
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 NW Yachtnet - Tacoma 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. NW Yachtnet - Tacoma should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

NW Yachtnet is an amazing crew of trustworthy and knowledgeable yacht sales professionals. I have purchased 2 different boats over the past several years from this team. Eddie Sauthoff has been exceptionally diligent and resourceful in overcoming any issues, going above and beyond to satisfy my requirements. The professionalism and integrity of NW Yachtnet people were essential in both transactions, and they always made sure deals were ultimately good for both buyer and seller. I’m sure I will upgrade boats again soon, and will be sure to call Eddie, Kurt, Bob and the NW Yachtnet crew to help broker my next sale and purchase. I couldn’t recommend this company more highly. Call NW Yachtnet first before calling anyone else.
I recently bought a boat after nearly 6 months of searching, and as a first timer, it was quite a process because I had to have it shipped by truck from Olympia to Portland and had to make several day trips up to checkout, survey, and test the boat, but found exactly the boat I wanted; it's been a few months, and I absolutely love the boat even more. Kurt was a fantastic broker and assisted in arranging everything from finding available surveyors to finding a shipping company and scheduling the shipping to getting the boat ready to move when I couldn't be there as I lived an hour and half away. He answered every question I had, never once tried to push the sale or convince me to do anything; he did what a salesman should, he was simply there for whatever I needed and whatever questions or concerns I had. I ran into some issues with shipping the boat because the trucker did not feel safe having the dingy attached to the boat the way it was as it'd catch too much wind and possible get ripped up, so I was forced to leave it there and ship without it. That's a solid thousand dollar loss had Kurt not stepped up and volunteered to drive 3 hours round trip just to delivery my dingy in his truck to me when I was unable to find any other way to get it home and I simply paid for his gas. This was above and beyond customer service and I'd highly recommend NW Yachtnet and especially Kurt to anyone looking to buy or sell a boat. Next time I buy a boat, I'll be giving Kurt a call, you should too. He knows boats, but more importantly, he knows people. Give these guys a look, they're good people.
We were on the hunt for our perfect boat. After dealings with horrible online brokerages, we found Matt Palmer. Our diminished trust in what we thought was the norm quickly disappeared when we started working with Matt. We are located out of State from the vessel we were interested in. Matt was extremely responsive in emails, texts and phone calls. He held our hands from the offer to purchase, to surveying the boat, to the final transfer of our boats home. He went over and above on everything needed to procure the closing. I can’t say enough about this Broker. If you need help finding your perfect boat/yacht, you won’t be disappointed.
Had the best experience working with Matt Palmer at NW Yachtnet! He was so great at answering all of our questions and offered many suggestions for local services. He also provided fun recommendations for places to stop at while we are on our boating adventures!!! Thanks for all your help Matt, we are having the best time with our new boat! #Philly LII 😁
Eddie is exceptional! He helped my husband and I purchase our boat last year. He listened, then used his skill, expertise and connections to find us a boat that was exactly what we were looking for. He guided us every step of the way through the purchase process and after the sale has been an incredible resource whenever we needed recommendations for service. We can't recommend him enough!
