What you get when you buy here →
- Every unit gets a professional safety inspection before delivery — a $495 service, disclosed up front, never skipped
- Professional full detail — not a rinse, a real detail
- Title, registration, and licensing (boating cert, fish and game where required) coordinated in-house — or handle it yourself in your home state
- Priced against real market data, not wishful thinking
- Consigned and seller-backed — if the inspection finds a problem, the seller fixes it or the price comes down
- 40 years of post-sale broker support
A note on “cheaper”
We’ve placed 20,000+ units since 1986. We know what a good deal looks like — and we know what a “good deal” looks like three months later, when it turns out to have a wet floor, a lien nobody mentioned, or a title that won’t transfer clean across state lines.
You can always find something cheaper. Someone always lists something cheaper. But cheaper usually assumes the title’s clean, the safety items check out, the paperwork makes sense, and somebody answers the phone after the money changes hands. Because nearly everything we carry is consigned, we hold the title and run a safety inspection before it’s yours — and we tell you the rough parts up front, because we want the right buyer, not just any buyer.
The cost of waiting
Gas isn’t getting cheaper. The season doesn’t wait while you look for a better deal. We hear it every spring: someone who looked last fall, decided to keep looking, and spent another summer on the dock watching other people’s boats go by.
Get the toy now. Use it now. Two years from now you could be in the water or you could still be looking. Gotta pay to play — and Havasu people know which side of that equation they want to be on.
The world’s best boating lake doesn’t get better from the driveway. Every summer you wait is a summer you don’t get back. — Straight pricing. One handoff. Ready to go.

Registering in Arizona? We collect Lake Havasu City sales tax and handle your title and registration in-house.
We confirm every line with you before anything’s signed — no surprise fees at the table, ever.
This unit is consigned — which means before it’s yours, it goes through a professional safety inspection (a $495 service, and not a warranty — see our as-is disclosure below). If that inspection finds something that needs fixing, it’s not your problem to solve: per your purchase agreement, the seller either makes the repair or drops the price to cover it. And if the seller won’t do either, we refund your inspection-related deposit in full and help you into a different unit that’s actually right for you. That’s the difference between buying from a broker who holds the title and buying from a stranger on the internet.
Here’s exactly how it works — step by step.
Many of our buyers never set foot in Havasu until delivery day. The whole process runs remotely:
- See it live on video
A broker walks you through this exact unit on a live video call — every corner, every question, real time. Book your walkthrough.
- Get pre-approved from your couch
Apply online in about 5 minutes — we work with dozens of lenders, right here in Lake Havasu City.
- The $495 safety inspection runs
Disclosed up front, never skipped. On consigned units, if it finds something that needs attention, the seller handles it — repaired, or reflected in the price — before you take delivery. If the seller does neither, your inspection-related deposit is refunded per your purchase agreement.
- Taxes, your way
If your home tax rate is below ours, out-of-state delivery means no Arizona sales tax collected at closing — you settle it when you register at home. If it’s higher, ask your broker — depending on your state, we may be able to collect and remit your home-state tax for you. See the out-the-door estimate above.
- Paperwork without the DMV line
Title and registration work handled in-house — or you’re free to take care of it in the state where you register.
- Delivery to your door
We arrange transport from Lake Havasu City to any state and quote it before you commit — we take care of the title transfer and logistics.

This is a boat for people who are done putting the water off. Here's what we'd tell our own family before they spent this kind of money with us.
Why This One?
What's Included
- Lake Ready
- Well Maintained
- Great Value
Most buyers who spend real time on a listing page already know whether this is worth their time. The specs check out or they don't. The price makes sense or it doesn't. The story feels right or it doesn't.
The question that usually moves people from "maybe" to "yes" is one you can only get from a real conversation:
"Has anyone else been seriously looking at this recently?"
Call (928) 453-8833 and ask that directly. We'll tell you exactly where things stand — and if it makes sense, we'll get you set up to see it on the water.

What Our Customers Say
Bought a pre-owned pontoon from the team at The Boat Broker. Deal agreed same day, no games on price. Their shop did a full inspection and detail before I picked it up — everything was exactly as described. Have bought three boats in my life and this was the easiest by far.
We drove from Phoenix after seeing the listing online. They went through the full inspection, handled the title and registration, and had everything squared away before we made the trip back to pick it up. The boat was in perfect shape — exactly what was in the listing, no surprises. Staff was patient and never pushed us.
Called on a Thursday, came in Friday, and agreed on a price for a Mastercraft on Saturday. Their shop spent the following week doing a complete inspection and detail before we took delivery. Honest brokers, clean paperwork, and the boat was in perfect condition when we picked it up. Highly recommend for anyone shopping in the Havasu area.
Most buyers who get this far end up owning the unit.
Not because they were pushed into it. Because they did exactly what you're doing — and the research did the work.
If something about this Chaparral still feels uncertain, that's the thing to ask — not something to sit on. The buyers who look back with no regrets are the ones who stopped overanalyzing and started asking. On the water this summer. It's a shorter trip from "looking" to "out there" than most people think.
At this point in life, the question usually isn't whether — it's which one. And you've already narrowed it down.
