CHH Marine Services - Boat Dealers Near Me

Chuck and Jim are great. They walked us through the process of selling and did all the legwork. They also spent time with the buyers showing them all the details of the boat. They made the process so easy and non stressful. Highly recommend. read more

My husband just purchased a boat and we live out of state. Chuck was beyond helpful and responsive with numerous videos and pictures. Not seeing the boat In person was not a big deal as when it was shipped to me it was easily as described or better. The process was seamless and would highly recommend CHH to anyone as sellers being up front and honest is a rarity today. Thanks Chuck we will enjoy our Baja Outlaw! read more

CHH is top notch, most honest dealership I have ever dealt with in my entire life. Chuck was super honest with me. I was interested in a boat that he just had listed on his website for one of his customers that he had not personally seen the boat yet because I reached out so quickly. He had not planned to get the boat to his dealership in 8 days, but offered to drive 45 minutes to the customers boat for me to get more detailed pictures so I can better understand what I was interested in. Next day he sends me TONS of pictures, only of the problems with the boat. He was straight to the point about what was wrong and needed to get to top notch shape. He knew I was a potential out of state buyer and easily could have told me it was a great boat and would have wasted my time, but he told me exactly what was going on with the boat and steered me away from making a bad decision and wasting a 23 hour roundtrip drive. I cannot thank Chuck enough for being so helpful and honest with me. He always answered my calls and texted back super fast. I will be keeping him in mind and recommending him to anyone I know that is in the market for a boat. Thank you Chuck! read more

Wanted to share my wonderful experience with Chuck@ CHH Marine, First off quit wasting your time on craigslist, this guy will "dial" you in to a great boat at a fair price. All the details were taken care of ,not to mention my various upgrades I had done while the boat was at his shop. Chuck ALWAYS returned my text/email and phone calls. When I upgrade to another boat CHH Marine will for sure be handling my business. Thanks Chuck Dan read more

I worked with Jim completely remotely (I'm too far from CHH to make it there) and had an incredible experience. He worked with my marine surveyor, answered my myriad of questions, and upon delivery he washed and waxed the boat. It sparkles!

CHH Marine Services - Shiny boat delivery - Boat Dealers Near Me

We first met Jim Moore in 2005 when we purchased our Rinker210 Captiva After 17+ years of enjoyment we decided to sell the boat. I was again put in touch with Jim, who was now with CHH Marine Services. After a few phone conversations with Jim and he explained in detail how their selling process worked he ask me to send any pictures I had and would get back to me with his market assessment of what he thought was a fair price. A few days later we agreed on the next step and signed a contract to sell. Then Chuck drove the 110+ miles to Milpitas to pick up the boat. The boat was sold within 10 days, in the middle of our escalating gas prices. Both Jim and Chuck were always professional and very knowledgeable in what they do, with no surprises along the way. I highly recommend Chh Marine Services if you are considering either Buying or Selling your boat. Sincerely, Leo & Georgine N. read more

Great Buying experience! Honest, sincere, and lots of integrity-I highly recommend buying from Chuck. I have owned multiple boats but still wanted an expert that is known for only dealing in quality inventory and has the expertise/resources to complete a full inspection on the boat before we finalized the deal. If You go it alone and buy off Craigslist you never know what surprises you may find later. CHH's advice, expertise, and boat knowledge make for a fair deal on an above average boat and a great customer experience (not to mention I made a friend). Highly Recommended! read more

What a wonderful experience buying our boat through CHH Marine was! Chuck was professional, personable and knowledgeable. If you want the best person to help you into the boat that's right for you and your family, contact Chuck read more

CHH Marine Services - Boat Dealers Near Me

I was looking for a boat and my wife came across this boat dealer/broker-CHH Marine Services. This was our first experience buying a boat and these guys (Jim Moore and Chuck) were great. They were friendly, nice and professional. All questions and concerns we had about the boat were answered. Although there was a little lag time accepting our offer, do to the seller, Jim worked hard to get this boat ready for us; it was worth the wait. Jim took us out ( Granite Bay) to test the boat and he was professional. He explained all the bells and whistles on this boat thoroughly. He drove us around and then let me drive. Explained how to put the tram up and down-was just very patient. Overall, our experience with these guys was awesome. Thank you for all tour help and I would definitely recommend these guys to the people looking for a boat. read more

Not talkative but did a good job at reasonable price. Must be able to overlook quiet personality and not expect to be coddled. I believe them to have been honest with me read more

These are the kind of guys you want to deal with when buying or selling a boat. Can't say enough about them as they have gone above and beyond to help us with our first Boat purchase NXT22 2017. Jim in particular is very personable and the guys are great to deal with especially in this market. They made the transaction easy and have gone above & beyond after the sales with recommendations and advice and even the loan or something as we ease into boat ownership. I am completely independent but will recommend them to everyone. read more

Just had Jim and Chuck market and sell my boat. A competitor of CHH recommended listing my boat for $7,000 less than what I sold the boat for and wanted $1,500 more than fees. Thank goodness I called CHH. Jim and Chuck were a breeze to work with and patiently answered all my questions. I highly recommend CHH Marine. read more

I purchased a boat through CHH Marine Services back in January. I worked with Chuck Howson who was and still is completely a pleasure to work with. I have contacted Chuck well after the purchase of a used boat, with questions about the boat. Chuck is always willing to help with his years of experience he is very knowledgable and willing to share his knowledge. If he doesn't have the answer he can point you in the right direction or will find the information and get back to you. Great place to purchase a boat from. Thanks Chuck read more

I found CHH Marine sending out quote requests for winterization and shrink wrapping. As luck would have it CHH was the only one to respond and promptly at that. They fairly priced every service we received (less than my parents paid at Larson) and treated us like friends from the moment we entered their shop. Chuck even told us some of the services we requested should wait until after winter or even longer to avoid spending money on things that would need to be redone. Who does that in this day and age? Although I'm almost 30, I look 20 and no one in their shop treated me like I didn't have a clue or tried to take advantage. CHH will now be the only place we go for all our boat needs. read more

We bought our new to us Cobalt from Jim earlier this year, but had to leave it while building a new driveway. The entire experience was 5 star and honest in an industry known for shady characters. We are so happy to know we have a local dealer that gets it right every time... all the reviews say the same thing. Thank you CHH Marine. read more

As luck would have it, I stumbled onto CHH Marine. Making a U-turn in front of his shop to go back to another place down the road. Chuck was out front detailing a customers boat. I told him that I was looking for my first boat. He said that he had a few to look at. After looking at a few boats I decided on a used Cobalt that was in excellent condition which is a testament to the types of boats bought and sold there. With no pressure and an answer to every question that I could come up with, Chuck really helped me to be an informed buyer. He gave me online sites to research and get familiar with the boat model that I was looking at. After deciding this was the boat for me, we negotiated a price that worked for both of us. The next step was to meet with Jim ( he works there also ) to do a water test of the boat. My wife and I met with Jim at a launch that was closer to where we live, their suggestion which I really appreciated. Jim was a GREAT help. We started off going over the launch first and then every step of operating the boat. I can't say enough about this step. I learned more in the hour or so that we drove it than I would have in a month on my own with trial and error. Jim was extremely helpful with all my questions and has given me several tips that will come in handy. Finally Jim showed us how to get the boat back on the trailer. This is a step I WAS concerned about but no longer am. Overall this has been a great experience and I highly recommend CHH Marine Services for anyone looking for a boat. read more

I just bought a cobalt boat through Chuck. He made the process very easy and stress free. As a first time boat owner chuck too the time to show me all the features about the boat and gave me some pointers on both folsom lake and lake Tahoe. When we ran into an issue with the title Chuck solved the problem very quickly. If your looking to buy or sell a boat Chuck is the guy to see. read more

We recently sold our '01 Sanger through Chuck at CHH Marine. We cannot stress enough, the awesome job Chuck did! From beginning to end, he did EVERYTHING he said he would. In the off season (and during the Christmas Holiday), he got our boat sold for "all the money"! We highly recommend Chuck, for ANY boat you might want to sell! read more

Sold my boat here and they gave me all the money I needed out of the deal. They were very fair and were easy to deal with. I purchased a newer boat later and they have an excellent service center as well that is talking very good care of me. I worked with Chuck who runs the sales of the boats and Chris who runs the service center. Both of them were great to deal with! Will use them again for sure. Jim who works is also a great to talk to and knows the boats inside and out. read more

Chuck appraised my boat fairly, accepted the listing and sold it in weeks for close to the asking price. Sold numerous boats over the years, never had a transaction go so quick and smooth. See these guys for your boating needs, you won't regret it. read more

Just purchased a 24-foot Chaparral from Chuck at CHH Marine Services. I'd been away from boating for over a decade and hadn't had a boat with all the features of this one. Chuck was very patient explaining the things I'd not seen before. There was never any pressure to "sell" me the boat. It was like an old friend showing me a boat. The next great thing is that there was a Master Craft dealer next to Chuck's who was able to add some things I wanted (automatic fire suppression in the engine compartment and a fuel fume detector). He took the boat there and arranged to have the work done before he delivered the boat to my marina, all-seamless. As you can see from the other reviews, Chuck has a good reputation so I trusted his judgment. Mike at Nor Cal Master Craft discussed the options and took care of things for what I felt was a fair price. Additionally, I was able to arrange financing and insurance from two folks Chuck recommended. I have USAA insurance and Twin River was able to beat the price and provide better coverage. Chuck delivered the boat on a weekend for very reasonable fee. After the maiden voyage, I had some questions that he answered promptly, once again, like that "Old Friend" with and extended offer to call any time. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. I'd recommend Chuck and CHH Marine Services as well as his associates to anyone looking for a used boat. I'll look there first when it's time to upgrade. read more

Chuck and Jim at CHH Marine were absolutely awesome to work with. These guys represented us the buyers wonderfully. We purchased a beautiful boat that was in perfect condition. I met with bot Chuck and Jim and both of them were very knowledgeable but best of all just very nice down to earth guys. You could tell they both genuinely enjoyed what they were doing. Jim took me out on a test drive on the boat to make sure everything was running perfectly. Jim is a mechanic so he knows boats inside and out. He is such a nice guy, I really enjoyed my time with him. I have been out of boating for almost 15 years so I am very excited to get back on the water. I can't begin to say how happy I am that I went with CHH Marine. If your in the market for a used boat and concerned about buying from a private seller go to CHH Marine. You will be happy you did. Thanks again Chuck and Jim we couldn't be happier with our experience with you guys. Top notch service. Thanks guys, sincerely the Meehan's. See you on the lake!! read more

We used CHH Marine Services to sell our boat recently. I feel so fortunate we used them. Chuck and Jim made the process go quickly and easily. They are both honest, professional, and so hard working for both the seller and buyer. The online listing for the boat was very detailed and professional. Our boat was sold at a very satisfactory price in a few weeks. When the time comes to replace our sold boat with something smaller CHH Marine will be the place we will go. read more

My wife and I have been boating for almost 20 years, and by far the best boat buying experience we've ever had has been with CHH Marine Services. Their Craigslist listings brought my wife and I into their showroom, where we met Chuck and Jim. Jim took us through their inventory, taking the time to show and advise us on the models with features important to us. We finalized our 2007 Sea Ray Sundeck 220 purchase, and in the process we never felt pressured, hurried, or anything other than Jim having our best interests at heart. Jim always took the time to answer our questions in a friendly, knowledgeable, fellow- boater manner. We very highly recommend CHH Marine Services! read more

If you are looking for a nice pre-owned boat, then look no further. Chuck Howson at CHH Marine has the boat for you. We have purchased two boats from Chuck since 2004! Both boats have been nothing short of awesome. Very professional staff & they made our purchase simple & easy. Highly recommend these guys. Give CHH Marine a call, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Chuck we love our boat!! Kim & Kevin read more

The guys here are awesome! We were in search of a boat and they answered all our questions right away and were very knowledgeable in boats. Although we did not end up purchasing from this location we did appreciate them enough to leave a review about how great their customer service was! read more

Great experience at CHH Marine! Made my first boat buying experience a great one. No pressure anywhere in the process. Jim took his time in working with us every step of the way making sure that we were comfortable with every aspect of the boat from all its features, towing and in the water. Highly recommend CHH for anyone looking to buy or sell a boat. These guys know their stuff and have high quality pre-owned boats at fair prices. read more

I was handed an impeller after an annual service and it was very worn and destroyed with deep cracks on most of the fins. I had only put 30 hrs. on my during the 2017 season. It sat out the 2018 season and stored indoors. A comment was given to me "Hey buddy I don't think your impeller was replaced in 2017. I was very suspicious of this. When I dropped off my boat my hour meter was at 259.9 and when I picked it up the hour meter was at 260.0, one click on the hour meter is 6 minutes of run time. I talked with Mercury Marine and sent them pictures. I also have saved my past impellers since I've owned the boat in 2005. In fact the impeller from my 100 hour service in 2007 had only a minor crack/tear on 1 fin. Mercury Marine was very surprised at the condition of that impeller for only 30 hours of use. They recommended having another shop look into this. I employed another marine mechanic to investigate this. They showed me the impeller that supposedly was replaced, it had wear marks equal to my others that had run two seasons. These wear marks wouldn't look like that with only six minutes of run time. Very dissapointed read more

I recently purchased my first, "new to me" boat from Chuck at CHH Marine and I would definitely recommend others do the same. Working with Chuck was easy because you didn't have the high pressure sales pitch from a dealer and you also don't have the headaches and uncertainty of working with a private party. CHH Marine works with you to get the boat tested on the water and inspected to make sure things are in proper working order so there aren't any surprises after you drive away with the boat. read more

We just sold our boat through Chuck. The process was so smooth and easy thanks to Chuck's knowledge and marketing. The easiest person to work with, super friendly and accommodating. We were so impressed with the professionalism of the listing. It was our first time selling a boat and I would highly recommend CHH for boating services. If we were to buy a boat again, we would go back to Chuck for sure! read more

This was unquestionably my most enjoyable vehicle purchase since the people I mowed grass for sold me their 1967 GTO back in 1975. There you have it. My wife and I wanted to get into boating as an empty nest activity, and Jim and Chuck were extremely patient, informative, and supportive throughout the process. They helped us navigate through all of the options and ultimately worked a very fair deal on our perfect starter boat. Jim made sure that everything on the watercraft was in good working order and he did an outstanding job keeping us informed of all progress as we got closer to taking possession. Jim also personally came out to the lake and coached us through the basics of how to get the boat in and out of the water and to operate safely for maximum fun. Jim and Chuck made it clear that they were there for us whenever we needed, and they treated us like a trusted friend would. If you're a high dollar cat with decades of boating experience and you are looking to drop a quarter mil on a state of the art water rocket; much respect braugh, and I'm sure CHH can totally find your dream ship. But if you're a newbie like me, or anything in between, you really need to do yourself a great favor and go see Jim and Chuck. read more

We bought our first boat from Chuck. We were very pleased with the experience. He was very easy to work with and took the time to make sure all our questions were answered. Great customer service. I would definitely recommend CHH Marine Services! 5 star! read more
