Buying a boat from Pilot Knob Marina Inc in Kattskill Bay, New York? 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 Pilot Knob Marina Inc which models suit the waterways near Kattskill Bay, New York.
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 Pilot Knob Marina Inc.
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 Pilot Knob Marina Inc 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. Pilot Knob Marina Inc should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I just bought a used Chaparral from Pilot Knob Marina and it was the best experience. David was fair and very easy to work with on the transaction. Mark went way beyond my expectations. The boat was serviced and water ready. All nessasary service was done before i pick it up. Tony did an outstanding job on the work and took time to answer all my questions. Looking forward to doing business with you.
We met Mike Billow from Pilot Knob on Lake George in January at the Boston Boat Show. We viewed & negotiated terms with many boat dealers that day. In the end, Pilot Knob was by far the best deal. We purchased a 2024 Chaparral from them. The purchase & sale was very easy. They registered the boat & trailer for us. David & Mark were great to work with. Merissa, in Customer Service provided all the details leading up to the delivery and was excellent to work with. We picked up the boat in May and Mike reviewed all details with us. The console and GPS have many new features that we needed to learn, but Mike was very patient with us. We would highly recommend Pilot Knob for purchases or services. They are the best!!!
We just purchased a boat in October 2024. Dave was great to work with, and gave us a fair price for our trade. the process was easy and low pressure. Would recommend 100%
Nothing but great experiences with all of the PKM staff. JD has helped assemble a great team and I’m sincerely happy to have them caring for my Robalo R302. Which btw I recommend for anyone looking for a center console boat. Thanks PKM….
Shallow docks and ZERO protection from the onslaught of a busy or windy day on the water. Their gas service is reasonable, and the staff was polite and helpful. I don't recommend trying to buy supplies, as aging and stock rotation may be a problem hereabouts - probably because they don't get much traffic from the public.
