Boat Buyer's Guide – VS Marine Boating Center

Buying a boat from VS Marine Boating Center in Atascadero, California? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.

  1. 1

    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 VS Marine Boating Center which models suit the waterways near Atascadero, California.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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 VS Marine Boating Center.

  4. 4

    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 VS Marine Boating Center will accommodate this request.

  5. 5

    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. VS Marine Boating Center should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

How to Finance a Boat at VS Marine Boating Center

Wow what a great experience with above and beyond customer service !! This was our first new boat purchase and Kris along with Erik and Eddie truly were great. I had so many questions and the response time was always so fast and Kris even helped me out after hours which I never expected but truly feel they are committed to their customers . Feels good to support a local business and know that there is a reason when we tow our boat out to local Lake Naci there are so many other people who also trusted the best in the business. I highly recommend to stop in to VS if you are shopping you won’t be disappointed.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Eddie at VS Marine. Eddie was awesome. We bought a used boat from them that didn’t function the way it was suppose to so they gave me an option to buy a new boat and gave me all my money back on the used boat. Stand up company. Along our journey Eddie made sure he helped us and went above and beyond to make us feel so comfortable. He spent a half a day on the water with us to make sure we knew everything about our new boat. Even though the used boat didn’t work out the new boat is perfect. VS Marine stands by there word and Eddie is a man of honor and integrity. A+ . .

We purchased our pontoon boat from Shawn at VS Marine in 2017. Shawn is a straight shooter and not a pushy sales person. He is knowledgeable and listens to what you want. I have purchased numerous boat accessories from VS Marine over the years and gone to them for our boat's annual service. Greg and Troy in the service department are great. They are always friendly and do excellent work. Most recently we decided to sell our boat. Not wanting to deal with the time and effort it takes, I had Shawn list the boat on consignment. He sold it the first week!

Let me tell you about VS Marine in Atascadero, Ca… They offered me a great trade in value on my 15’ 24MXZ and a great price on a fully loaded 22’ 25LSV. I took possession on Friday and my wife and I felt the love!! The next day we got the news about the recall for the gas tank issue. So that was a bummer but not The dealerships fault. About an hour after the dealership opened on Tuesday I got a call from Shawn, the dealership manager, and was asked to bring it in the next day and they would get it done ASAP. I got the boat on Wednesday morning and was able to pick it back up end of day!! The whole experience was as smooth as I could ever imagine it to be!! So let’s start at the top with the owner Chris. Hiring an incredible team is where it starts!!! Tina is a financing Genius!!! Shawn wears a lot of hats and wears them well!! Eddie was always close by to help in any way he could. Troy and the team behind the scenes killed it with the quick turn around on the recall/repair!!! Thank you all for the awesome experience !!!

10/10 I highly recommend VS Marine and their amazing team! Erick and Eddie were more than accommodating, they made the process of purchasing a new boat so smooth, they are there to answer questions or assist in anyway they can. Truly went above and beyond.
