Buying a boat from Wayzata Marine in Wayzata, Minnesota? 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 Wayzata Marine which models suit the waterways near Wayzata, Minnesota.
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 Wayzata Marine.
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 Wayzata Marine 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. Wayzata Marine should be able to walk you through the paperwork.

Thank you for the outstanding service and most importantly our new Barletta! We have loved every minute on our new boat this summer and have had priceless moments with friends and family on our new pontoon. The team at Wayzata Marine were wonderful from the moment we first walked in to casually look at pontoons up until it came time to sign and get it in the water. They helped us seamlessly coordinate our Sea Legs being put on and even now when it is *sadly* almost time to store for the winter they’ve got that covered for us too. Would absolutely recommend!!
I have had a great experience with Wayzata Marine. All of the employees are very hands on. I bought a used boat from one of there previous customers and they have treated me like I purchased it brand new from them. Everyone is very down to earth. I have looked at trading my boat for a new one and have been there several times. I've asked 100's of questions and never felt like I was a pain in the butt to them. I have had our boat serviced for regular maintenance and the service department is a treat to deal with. They are the kind of place that you can just stop in and chat, very low key. I love stopping in there.
Excellent customer service and knowledgeable staff. If you are in the market for a boat in the West Metro, call Rob at Wayzata. Rob has been exceptional to work with. He helped us choose our boat this winter and met us on the lake to give us a tutorial this Spring. Whenever I've had questions this year, I would text him and he was always available to answer them. Andy in the service Department is also extremely helpful. Basically, the entire operation is a class act. Being in a business that demands a high level of customer service myself, I am very impressed with this company. I highly recommend them.
This is a well-run business that understands service without creating a pretentious or intimidating atmosphere. I've window-shopped for years and never been chased out of one of their stores. This year, I went to the Minneapolis Boat Show and stopped by Wayzata Marine's location to look at Regal and Chaparral boats. I also stopped at several other dealerships' locations and viewed several other brands and types of boats. Aside from one other, Wayzata Marine was the only dealership whose sales staff showed any interest in really talking about their products (or had the knowledge to do so without looking at the display collateral set up next to the boat - a pet peeve of mine). Rob Alvarado spent more than 40 minutes with me, giving me straight-forward opinions and detailed information about the brands and boats they sell. He encouraged me to go back and look at another dealer's brand before making a decision. I did. And then I went back to Rob and Wayzata Marine and ordered a new boat. Rob and the service staff are very courteous and patient in answering questions and providing service. They gave very sound, conservative advice when it came to optioning out the boat, recognizing that it was better to get the right options than to unnecessarily raise the price to get all of the options. The delivery of my boat was made in Rob's typically low-key share-the-excitement-of-a-new-boat enthusiasm. I highly recommend that you consider Wayzata Marine if you are considering a boat purchase, but only if you like good service, a positive, helpful attitude, and solid products.
Wayzata Marine has been fantastic from purchasing a boat to storing a boat to maintaining a boat! Nothing but top notch service. Always going above and beyond trying to help customers. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested in boating to consider Wayzata Marine for any and all boating needs.
