Great Wakes Marine LLC

Great Wakes Marine is a family-owned dealer of used fishing boats, wake boats and bowriders. The multi-generational family business has sold more than 1,500 boats since 2009. Its inventory includes ski and wakeboard boats built for watersports, along with boats suited to fishing and family days on the water. Recent stock has included Lowe, Smokercraft and Mastercraft models.

Buyers are encouraged to get a pre-sale inspection from a local certified marine mechanic, and the dealer can recommend a few shops and run the engines at the lot on request. The team will also walk buyers through each boat's accessories. Cashier's checks from national banks or credit unions are accepted, and cash is accepted too, though purchases over $10,000 require an IRS Form 8300. Saturdays are by appointment only, so call ahead. The business is on McKenzie Highway in Springfield, Oregon.
