Antonietti’s Guide to Buying a Used Boat

Your Trusted Source for Pre-Owned Boats in Hudson & Riverview, Florida

Buying a used boat is a great way to get on the water — offering big savings, proven reliability, and a wide variety of models to choose from. Whether you’re a first-time boater or an experienced captain looking to upgrade, knowing what to look for can help you find a quality boat that fits your lifestyle and budget.

At Antonietti Marine, we specialize in helping customers find top-quality used boats for sale in Hudson and Riverview, FL. Here’s what to consider before you make your purchase.

1. Start with Your Boating Goals

Before you start shopping, think about how you plan to use your boat.

Fishing: Look for used center consoles or bay boats with livewells, rod holders, and trolling motors.
Family cruising: Pontoon boats or deck boats offer comfort, space, and smooth handling for everyone aboard.
Water sports: Look for performance boats or models with the power and wake to tow skiers and tubers.

Knowing your priorities helps you narrow your search — and ensures you get the most value for your money.

2. Set a Realistic Budget

Used boats come in every price range. Besides the purchase price, remember to factor in:

Registration and insurance
Routine maintenance and fuel
Storage or slip fees (if applicable)
Any upgrades you might want (electronics, trolling motor, stereo, etc.)

At Antonietti Marine, our sales staff can help you compare models and understand the total cost of ownership before you buy.

3. Inspect the Boat Carefully

Condition is everything with a pre-owned boat. Always check:

Hull and deck: Look for cracks, soft spots, or repairs.
Engine: Ask about service history, hours, and compression tests.
Electrical systems: Test lights, pumps, gauges, and accessories.
Upholstery and flooring: Signs of wear or water damage can reveal how the boat was stored and maintained.

All of Antonietti Marine’s "Certified" used boats are thoroughly inspected and serviced by certified technicians, so you can shop with confidence.
