No boat matches those filters. Clear them, or tell the shop what you want and Patriot will call when one comes in.

Before it lists
New builds, used boats, consignments and trade-ins all go through the same final check sheet, any make. A tech wrench-checks the boat end to end, runs the engine, then puts it on the water and runs it under load. Anything that turns up gets fixed and rechecked before the listing goes live.
That is the difference between a boat off Patriot's lot and a boat from a stranger's driveway. You are not taking anyone's word for the condition.
Fasteners and hardware
Engine mounts, cage, engine stand, seat stands, prop hub bolts and rudder fittings torqued.
Hull and polymer
Welds, bottom and side polymer, rivets and fasteners checked for damage and adhesion.
Exhaust
Clamps, flex tubing, mufflers and brackets tight, with no cracks or leaks.
Belts, gearbox and bearings
Belt tension and alignment, gearbox lube and security, bearings checked for play and noise.
Oil and fuel
Oil level and condition, fuel lines and routing, filters and water separator, tank cleanliness.
Electrical
Batteries secured and charged, terminals clean, wiring, switches, gauges and lights working.
Prop, rudders and controls
Blade edges and mounting, rudders, cables and stick moving free with no binding.
Water test
Started, run under load, watched for leaks, noise and gauge readings, drain plugs and bilge confirmed.
Need work on a boat you already own? Airboat repair and servicing runs out of the same shop.
Open the listing for the full spec sheet and photos. Ask the shop for a walkaround video, or come see it at the shop in Vidor. A test ride on a specific boat depends on the boat, the weather and the schedule, so ask before you drive out.
A $5,000 deposit takes the boat off the market. It comes straight off the purchase price.
$5,000 deposit, applied to the price
Finance through Patriot or pay in full. The balance is due per the purchase agreement, and the listed price covers the boat only. Tax, title, registration and delivery are separate.
Pick it up at the shop, or Patriot arranges delivery to any of the 50 states. Before release you get the bill of sale and the titles for the boat, motor and trailer where each applies. Trailer inclusion is listed on each boat.
Sell through Patriot
Consignment is what Patriot does most. Trade your boat in toward one listed above, or consign it: the evaluation is free, then Patriot inspects and water tests it, photographs it, lists it on this page and handles the buyer, the paperwork and the pickup.
Patriot runs the largest used airboat inventory and the fastest time to sell in the USA. Consigned boats usually sell in one to three months, though price, condition and season decide it and no timeline is guaranteed. Diamondbacks, AirRangers, Panthers and other makes are welcome.

Counted live from the sold listings
Yes. Every used airboat, any make, goes through the same final check sheet as a new Patriot build: fasteners, hull and polymer, exhaust, belts and gearbox, fluids and filters, electrical, prop, steering and controls. Then it is run on the water under load. Anything found is fixed and rechecked before the listing goes live.
Inspected, water tested and ready to run the day you take it. It is not a project, and you are not taking a private seller's word for the condition. The Patriot crew checked it directly.
Yes. Diamondback, AirRanger, Panther, Swamp Shark, Rock 'N Croc, Silver Dollar and custom-built boats come through the lot alongside used Patriots. What is in stock changes, so use the make filter above or call if you want a specific boat.
Yes. A $5,000 deposit secures a used airboat and is applied to the purchase price. The balance is due according to the purchase agreement.
Yes, financing is available through Patriot. Call 409-422-0006 and the shop will go over the application, the terms and what it needs from you to start.
No. The advertised price is the base boat only. Taxes, title, registration, financing charges and delivery are separate and depend on where you live and how the boat gets to you.
It depends on year, hull, engine and hours. Every listing above shows its price, and the numbers at the top of this page show the range on the lot right now. New Patriot builds run about $80,000 to $160,000 and up. The airboat price guide breaks down new, custom and used prices.
Not always. Trailer inclusion varies by listing and is written on each boat's page. If a listing does not mention one, ask before you plan the trip home.
Yes. Patriot arranges delivery to any state. Cost depends on distance, the boat's dimensions, trailer setup, permits and the carrier, so send your ZIP code and the boat you want for a real number. International delivery is handled case by case; contact the shop early so the logistics can be checked.
Yes. The shop is at 810 Edgewood St in Vidor, Texas, and Patriot will send extra photos or a walkaround video of any listing. Call ahead to set a time, and ask about a test ride on that specific boat, since it depends on conditions and scheduling.
An owner sale gives you the boat as it sits and the paperwork as it comes. A boat off Patriot's lot has been inspected and water tested, its titles and liens have been checked, financing is available on it, and the shop that sold it also services it afterward. If you are the owner, Patriot can consign or trade your boat instead, and it lists right here. See sell or consign your airboat.
Talk with Patriot
Tell the shop which boat, where you are and how you plan to run it. Outside shop hours, send the details through the contact form and Patriot will call you back.
