Buying a boat from Pioneer Hills Marine in Roscommon, 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 Pioneer Hills Marine which models suit the waterways near Roscommon, 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 Pioneer Hills Marine.
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 Pioneer Hills Marine 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. Pioneer Hills Marine should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I was recently in Pioneer Hills to look at their Kawasaki PWCs thinking I might be able to get a deal at the end of the season. The staff is nice. However, after reading the comments about the service department, and Pioneer Hills acknowledging their own staff shortages, I would recommend buying somewhere that will be able to provide reliable service as all these machines are high maintenance and will require routine maintenance. For me, I couldn't get past the service issues.
It is very unfortunate they no longer do same day winterizations. That is a service that is predictable as to how long it takes and should be able to be scheduled. Sounds like Pioneer Hills is struggling with staffing their service department. Making appointments is a common courtesy that all reputable boat and car dealerships honor. Other than this, the staff and service team have been helpful over the years.
The service department used to provide same-day appointments for winterizations, but starting in 2025, they eliminated that option. This change shows a lack of customer focus, especially for people like me who make a special trip to Roscommon just to drop off boats and Sea-Doos. Without same-day service, I’m now forced to make an additional trip — adding more than 6 hours of driving. What makes it even worse is that they can’t even provide a firm promise date for when the work will be completed, making it impossible to plan my return trip with any certainty. This lack of consideration for customer time and planning is incredibly frustrating. By contrast, Spicer’s Boat City still offers same-day winterization appointments. While it also requires a longer drive for me, at least I know I can get everything done in one day. If convenience and respect for your time matter to you, I’d recommend Spicer’s over this service department. Note that the websites company values state “ We strive to do whatever we can to make their experience easy and convenient.” Clearly, they have lost their way. UPDATE: Yikes, talk about holding a grudge! After roping in help to drop off my boat and Sea-Doo for winterization, this place gave me the boot over my “hateful” review. Hateful? Just pointing out their inconvenience! I offered to nuke the review, but they still said, “No service for you!”—claiming they couldn’t make me happy. Guess their “easy and convenient” vibe got lost at sea. Spicer’s Boat City, meanwhile, still does same-day winterization without the drama. Save your time and skip this soap opera!
Haven't experienced any yet but most likely will in the future!
Jim was extremely helpful when we blew a tire on our trailer. Got us new wheels/tires and connected us with a towing company within minutes. Very knowledgeable and friendly - will visit them again and recommend to anyone in the area.
