Buying a boat from Wawasee Boat Company in Syracuse, Indiana? 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 Wawasee Boat Company which models suit the waterways near Syracuse, Indiana.
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 Wawasee Boat Company.
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 Wawasee Boat Company 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. Wawasee Boat Company should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Everybody I dealt with was fantastic! Simple and straightforward purchase. And total bonus, they offer free Bibles. How cool is that!?
Great experience all around. Andy and Dave were fantastic to work with and made our boat buying experience very simple. They go above and beyond for the customer!
I have used Wawasee Boat company for years and have always found them to have fair pricing , be courteous and more importantly , go above and beyond in service. As a boat owner who only is at “the lake “ on the weekends they make sure all is good. Recently, I had an issue with my boat and not only did they send someone out on a holiday weekend but brought a new Natique for us to use as they make sure my boat is up to snuff. Recommend without reservation!
As an update to the review written last year which follows below, Wawasee Boat Co. once again provided incredible service and care for us as a customer. WBC is a business that truly appreciates their customers and their employees, and it is reflected in the service they provide. In 14+ years, we have never experienced otherwise. Once again, Andy, Dave and the people at WBC have provided another example for us to use in our own business with our employees to promote a culture of excellence. (Review posted in 2024) Doug, Andy and all the people at WBC are EXCELLENT! We've dealt with them for years and never had one a negative experience. We've had boats that for some reason end up not working (often owner running over the tow rope) and WBC sends someone right over to take care of the situation so we do not lose the weekend. This year our boat had a crack in the hull and even with the shortage of boats, Doug, Andy et. al. have provided us with another boat to use for the summer. They instead could have easily sold the boat and left us with no boat for the season. They even covered the insurance premium for us on the boat. Another instance of going well beyond to make sure their customers are cared for. There are few companies that have such a concern about their customer and are as responsive. I read the last review which is a 1 star - I'd likely say that Doug and his crew were honoring their commitments to customers they had already made rather than shunning someone. There has to be a lot more to it than is written because this is one business that does not turn their back on customers. In fact, just the opposite. WBC is truly responsible for making our lake experience very enjoyable and without any frustrations, which often can arise when owning watercraft.
These guys did a great job and were very helpful in the purchase of my jet ski. The whole process was easy and they took care of me after the sale as well! Highly recommend!
