Whenyou take the initialstepstoward
purchasing a boat one of the first things
you notice is that everyone has their
own tips and tricks toward securing the
ultimate bargain. Just as you’re sure to
be looking for a very particular kind of
vessel, so too will the process behind your
researching and purchasing a boat need to
be particular to your needs – that is to say,
there’s no universal algorithm.
There are a number of factors to
consider when buying a boat: new or
second-hand, local or import, insurance,
finance, and so on. Perhaps you know
exactly what you’re after, perhaps you
need a little more time to browse what’s
on offer, but either way it’s difficult to
find the right place to start. You probably
won’t be surprised if we tell you that the
boating industry is a big one and if you’re
running around trying to piece together
information from multiple sources, the
process can become overwhelming.
Dealerships and brokers are experts in
theirproduct,and can offercompetitive
packages thanks to their ability to trade
in volume. Local manufacturers can give
customers the peace of mind that comes
with easily accessible factory servicing
and warranties. And of course, for anyone
keen for a bit of back and forth, there’s a
likelihood of scoring a bargain from a local
private seller.
There’s always a chance of encountering
the a near-mythical perfect boat straight
out of the gate. However, it’s just as likely
that months of weekend trips to check
out boats will yield nothing more than a
creeping suspicion that you’re hunting a
Flying Dutchman of sorts – a vessel of
pure fiction – doomed sit with slack sails
on the endless ocean of dreams that never
came to be.

your story.
