Buying a boat from Shady Creek Sales Inc in El Dorado, Kansas? 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 Shady Creek Sales Inc which models suit the waterways near El Dorado, Kansas.
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 Shady Creek Sales 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 Shady Creek Sales 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. Shady Creek Sales Inc should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
Marine financing has unique terms. Here is what to know before financing a boat through Shady Creek Sales Inc in El Dorado, Kansas.
Typical Loan Terms
10 to 20 years for larger boats. Smaller boats are typically financed over 5 to 10 years.

10% to 20% is standard. Some lenders require more for older vessels.
Pro Tip
Get pre-approved by your bank before visiting Shady Creek Sales Inc — it gives you a rate to compare against dealer financing.

The owner, Mike, and his son, Jake, were phenomenal! They truly valued our business and were willing to go above and beyond to earn it. We bought our first boat and didn’t imagine how comfortable we’d be after our purchase. Unlike cars, you typically don’t get the chance to test drive a boat before purchase. Shady Creek takes you on the water, educates you on basic boating skills and answers any questions you have on the boat you’re about to purchase. And to follow that, they encourage you to call or text with any questions you have going forward. If you’re even remotely considering the purchase of a boat, check them out. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks, Mike and Jake!
Jake and Mike were great to work with during the purchasing of my new to me boat. I felt that they went above and beyond where as other dealers didn’t even give me the time of day. I would recommend checking them out, even if you just want to talk they will make time for you.
We originally bought our pontoon here in 2014. This is our tenth season with our pontoon and using Shady Creek. When I went to put the Pontoon in the water for the season today, I had a small mechanical issue. Kudo's to Mike Morgan and the handy crew at Shady Creek Marine for helping me out. Then, Mike was helpful and helped me get the pontoon launched, storing my trailer away for the season. So if you're looking to buy a boat or pontoon, or have your boat serviced or repaired, then by all means go check out Shady Creek Marine. They'll even take you for a test drive and ride in the boat of your choice.
Jake and Mike are true professionals. Great team to do business with and this is why I drove all the way from Georgia for my boat purchase. Keep up the good work and yes I did make it home with my new big boy toy!!!
The owner is the nicest person! They rented us a boat when they're normally closed on Monday. We were in town for just a few days and the boat ride was one of the best things we did. I truly appreciate the customer service 🤩 I'd give 10 stars if I could
