Buying a boat from Smith Boys Of Chautauqua in Ashville, 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 Smith Boys Of Chautauqua which models suit the waterways near Ashville, 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 Smith Boys Of Chautauqua.
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 Smith Boys Of Chautauqua 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. Smith Boys Of Chautauqua should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Came up for the weekend and stayed at a family friends lake home within seeing distance of Smith Boys. It was kind of a last minute thing and we called to see if we could rent a boat for the weekend or one day. They didn’t have any for Saturday but they did for Sunday which was great! The pontoon was amazing and so nice! The price was great too. They are very friendly and treat you like they have known you forever! When we go back and if we don’t have a boat we will be renting from them again! Thanks again guys!
They took amazing care of us. From getting a last minute rental to the amazing staff Mike, tracy and the staff we picked up from today. We will definitely be back. We'll worth the 2 1/2 hour drive.
What a change compared to the last couple years. I don't mean that in a good way, it's obvious management, mechanics, and employees don't know anything about boats. Can't even help me get what I need for my own customers because they don't know what I'm talking about. The lady who use to work there always called in the young man they had as a tech, he could always answer my questions and find the part I needed for order. This new crew has no idea. Now I'm looking for another local supplier or will have to start ordering everything off the internet. Hope they have a good training program.
I sent this message to the main office at Smith Boys, I feel it's important to share my experience before another customers has the same experience. My wife and I were at your Ashville location last week looking to buy 2 boats, we also wanted to purchase a slip and start storage contracts as well. We use to be customers but stopped coming to you because of issues in the past but heard you have a new manager and an excellent tech/service department this year so we decided to give you another chance. We talked to your sale manager/sales lady and she told us that we could go look at and uncover any boats we want but she didn't have the time to come out with us. After a while of us uncovering and looking at boats, she never once came out to check on us so we went back into the store. While we were in the store waiting to talk to her, she was being very nasty/unprofessional toward your other employees. We did not like what we seen/heard and with her making us uncover boats and not giving us any attention, we walked out. That same day we spent $300,000 on a Malibu and $125,000 on a Harris Pontoon at another dealership in Pennsylvania, money we planned on spending with you but because of your sales lady/manager we decided a company with better values deserved our money. You finally fixed your service department but we will continue to tell people about our bad experience and will continue doing buisness elsewhere until you make a change to your sales department. I will say I've heard from relatives and friends that the service department has improved immensely. I was told the new service manager is great to deal with and that they have a tech that is really knowledgeable and knows how to get things done. With that said, if you need your boat worked on then give them the chance but I would never purchase a boat from them with the horrible sales staff.
We were searching for a boat and found the exact one we wanted. The sale was handled professionally by Nick. Boat orientation was scheduled and then rescheduled to accommodate our schedule as new home owners on the lake. We met Craig at the Chautauqua location and he took us out on the lake for 3 hours. As a former teacher, Craig showed all the best qualities of a teacher. He was informative and patient in working with first time boaters. Further, we experienced a delay in lift installation at our dock and we truly appreciated their flexibility in keeping our boat for an extra week until our lift is installed. We give the highest rating to Smith Boys.
