Beginner’s Guide to Buying a Boat 

Making plans to buy your first boat? Before you arrive on the showroom floor be sure to check out our article below. In it, we outline some of the most important aspects of how to choose the perfect boat and ensure your new model meets your exact needs. 
 

Size

Your boat’s size is one of the most important aspects to consider when shopping for a new model. Your boat’s size will affect the price, the number of passengers on board, and even the type of waterways you can explore. While larger boats are more expensive, they’re great for the rough waters of the ocean and traveling in large groups. Small boats are more agile and affordable but are limited to nearby lakes and rivers. 
 

Type 

There are many different types of boats on the market, from agile bowriders to massive pontoons. To ensure you’re choosing the right type of boat for your needs, we recommend creating a short list of must-have features for your model. Afterward, we recommend doing a bit of research on the different types of boats online, or speaking with your sales representative for their recommendation. 
 

Accessories 

Don’t forget that you’ll need to purchase a variety of boat accessories before you can take your model out onto the water. These items may need to be factored into your overall budget to ensure you don’t overspend. Don’t forget that you’ll need a boat trailer to transport your new model off the lot and, if your boat doesn’t include an inboard motor, you may need to purchase an outboard engine. Other accessories include safety items—such as life jackets and safety flares—and docking accessories.
