Buying a boat from Skier's Marine - GA in Gainesville, Georgia? 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 Skier's Marine - GA which models suit the waterways near Gainesville, Georgia.
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 Skier's Marine - GA.
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 Skier's Marine - GA 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. Skier's Marine - GA should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

I can't say enough good things about the entire team at Skier's Marine! The attention to detail and thorough knowledge by everyone we encountered is unsurpassed. It is clear that they all have a passion for the industry (boating and watersports) and share of love for the people (each other and their customers). I could go into the whole story of our journey to find a boat, but that's too long. I'll just say that I would have never considered a Mastercraft due to pre-conceived notions. We initially came here looking at used boats from other brands. They dealt with us for MONTHS and never once made us feel like an inconvenience. Eventually, after we increased our budget a second time, we were encouraged to water test a brand new NXT20. It was a little smaller than what I thought I wanted, but it exceeded all of my expectations during the water test. The wave was great with factory ballast and the wakeboard wake rivals any other boat that I've tried (Nautique was previously my favorite). We primarily dealt with Heidi, who was fantastic from start to finish! Heidi and Shawn were great during the water test and Shawn was able to answer all of my (technical and very specific) questions. Jeff, in finance, was thorough and very communicative. Blake was great during the delivery experience. If you want to feel like part of the family and not just another sale, you seriously need to go see the team at Skier's Marine in Gainesville. The experience was FAR SUPERIOR to that of other new dealerships in the area.
We recently purchased our boat from Skier’s Marine in Gainesville, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. Our salesperson, Tommy Lee, was a genuinely great guy—friendly, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the whole process. The entire staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful in every way. They took plenty of time to make sure we understood every feature of the boat before we left. Blake even took us out on the lake for a detailed walkthrough of the boat’s systems, controls, and features, ensuring we were completely comfortable operating everything. Everyone we interacted with was professional, courteous, and clearly passionate about what they do. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and we left feeling confident and excited about our new boat. We highly recommend Skier’s Marine to anyone looking for an exceptional buying experience.
I can’t say enough great things about the team at Skiers Marine! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless. The sales team helped us find the perfect boat. Their knowledge, and genuine passion for boating made the process easy and enjoyable. But what truly sets them apart is their service after the sale. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that boat ownership has been nothing short of a breeze. Whether it’s answering questions, providing maintenance, or just offering advice, their dedication to customer satisfaction has exceeded expectation. If you’re in the market for a MasterCraft or pontoon, I highly recommend Skiers Marine.
Ryan was absolutely fantastic! He showed us everything we asked to see, answered all our questions, was patient, and stayed after hours to continuously help us every time we came in All skier’s employees were outstanding, Randi, Blake, everyone was happy to help. Family friendly, honest dealership. There was no pushiness or poor talk about other brands being lesser quality which we found at other local places. This was our 2nd purchase through Ryan and if we decide to ever upgrade we will certainly be going to Skiers. Thank you!!
I should have done this review 3 years ago! Bought our new MasterCraft from Skier’s and took delivery in March 2022. Lou was our sales rep and stayed in touch regularly for over 2 solid years while we contemplated what we wanted. Never any pressure, just genuine “we’re here for what you need” attitude! The whole Skier’s team treated us like family before we ever gave them a penny, and to this day they STILL treat us like family! Heidi, the GM, genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, and Ben and Randi in service always ensure our boat is handled with care. We’re headed into our 4th season with our XT22, and couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much to the Skier’s team for helping our family make lasting memories!
