Tips for buying a boat
Because there are so many different options in the new and used market, it’s easy to catch a boat to your needs. Here are a few considerations to help along the way.
1. A proactive approach
When it comes to buying a boat, always favored a proactive approach. Upfront your needs and then look for a wide variety made by a wide variety of manufacturers that suit your needs
2. Research, research, research
A boat is a big purchase, so start with an online investigation across a wide variety of boats. cross-reference length, required horsepower, beam, draft, overall weight, ease of trailering, and other variables. Look at some of the comments to see what experiences other boaters have had with the company and models, and cross-reference it with the direct experience of others.
3. Visit a boat show
There are a few different types of boat shows. Some are large scale and they’re good because you’ll see a wide variety of hulls, power, and trailers. Smaller shows, like the ones offered by a local dealer, have smaller selections that offer very focused product lines. Start with the bigger shows so as to effectively narrow your choices. Visit a local dealer to be sure your choice is sound. Also have a relationship with a marina for future service needs.
4. Demo a boat
You’ll absolutely want to demo a boat to make sure that its on-the-water performance matches your expectations. It’s always fun to go for a cruise on a bright, sunny day with conditions that are ideal. But to be sure you’re selecting the right boat, take it for a trial on a bad weather day when the wind is honking and the water surface has a chop. The days that you most appreciate your boat are when it performs in sloppy conditions.
Buying a boat should be fun. Take your time, thoroughly research your options and test them until you’re certain. In doing so, you’ll be sure that you and your crew have outstanding times on the water.
