Our Buyer’s Guide

So what craft best suits your needs? You must think of all the needs and wants that best fits yourself and whoever you decide to bring alone on this journey. Those needs and wants are typically determined by what type of activities you want to pursue on the water. Active types may desire to tube, ski, wakesurf, and wakeboard, while others may long to indulge their passion for fishing or sailing. Social butterflies may prioritize entertaining friends, while others may prefer to instead escape for the weekend on a boat with overnight accommodations.


Before You Buy a Boat…

It is important to think of the reasons why you would want to be on the water and narrow down all those choices accordingly. This will make sure you get the vessel that is perfect for you. 


Check out the following tips:

  • Prioritize your wish list

    • Now that you have decided to embrace the boating lifestyle, you'll want to establish a budget so you can start building and prioritizing your wish list. That budget will likely be a key factor in the decision to buy a new or pre-owned boat. Either way, the considerations for size and type of boat will be the same.

  • Consider financing and budgeting options

    • Boats are an investment and come with added costs like fuel, maintenance, storage, and insurance. Be realistic about what you can afford, not just in the showroom on the day of purchase but also over the years you plan to enjoy your craft.

  • Start shopping

    • With a boat and budget in mind, it's time to start the shopping process. This part is the easiest because you already found the perfect boat trader. Our experts are here to help you with any questions or concerns you may have. 

  • Inspect the boats you are optioning

    • Once you narrow down your search and are seriously considering one particular boat, it’s important to have a thorough inspection of other major components such as the engine, propeller, bilge, steering system, electrical systems, and fuel tank.

  • Close the deal

    • Finally, it's time for the best part. You get to enjoy your purchase. Get out on the water and have fun, not just in the immediate future but in the months and years to follow.
