Frequently Asked Questions — Boating Near Nashville/Gallatin

Common questions from Nashville/Gallatin-area boat buyers

Location

Our Gallatin location is about 30 minutes north of downtown Nashville via TN-386 (Vietnam Veterans Blvd). It's a clean, straight shot with minimal stops. We chose Gallatin specifically because it sits right on Old Hickory Lake — so you can test ride boats on real water, not pavement.

Boating

Middle Tennessee has excellent boating within easy reach. Old Hickory Lake (5 min from our showroom) is ideal for pontoon cruising and fishing. Percy Priest Lake (35 min) is Nashville's wake sports hub. Center Hill Lake (80 mi) has crystal-clear water for day trips. Dale Hollow and Tims Ford are worth the drive for quieter weekends. Read our best lakes near Nashville guide for the full breakdown.

Buying

Yes. We handle marine financing in-house and shop your rate across multiple lenders who specialize in boat loans. Marine financing works differently than auto loans — terms are longer and the process is more involved. Our finance team simplifies it so you understand your rate, term, and monthly payment before you commit. A $50,000 boat financed over 15 years typically runs $400–$450/month depending on your rate. Explore financing options.

Inventory

We carry 12+ brands covering every type of boating: Malibu, MasterCraft, Moomba, Supra, Tige, Centurion (wake/surf boats), Chaparral, Crownline, Four Winns (bowriders/cruisers), Sylvan, StarCraft (pontoons), and Yamaha (jet boats). Whether you're looking for a $30,000 entry-level pontoon or a $150,000 surf boat, we have options across the full range.

Service

Yes — both. We offer indoor heated storage and outdoor storage at our Gallatin facility right on Old Hickory Lake. Indoor storage protects against UV, moisture, rodents, and temperature swings. Our service team handles full winterization including engine fogging, fuel stabilization, water evacuation, battery disconnect, and shrink wrap. Spring recommissioning is available too. Read our storage and winterization guide.

Events

Yes — the Nashville Boat Show takes place every January at the Music City Center downtown. It runs Thursday through Sunday and features dozens of boats, marine accessories, financing booths, and educational seminars. Premier Watersports is typically on the floor with Malibu and MasterCraft boats. It's the best place to compare models side-by-side before scheduling a test ride. Read our Nashville Boat Show guide for tips on what to expect and how to prepare.
