In times like these, you’re in the driver’s seat (or better yet, at the helm). Dealers want to sell boats, and they’ll be happy to work with you and provide you with special offers and discounts. Here are just some of my tips on what to do before you buy that boat of your dreams:
Visit a Boat Show - Take a look at all available options and board as many boats as you can. Discuss your wants and needs with dealers and experts at the boat show; they will answer any questions you may have. For a list of boat and sport shows in your area, please visit Boat Show Calendar
Visit a Dealer -If you’re in the market for a boat, boat dealers are a great resource. Purchasing a boat from a dealer offers a number of advantages, including:
• access to multiple finance sources and/or special manufacturer and dealer finance programs
• year-round service departments
• extended warranty programs
• manufacturer and dealer incentive programs
I also recommend buying from Marine Industry Certified dealers. Learn more about certified dealers in you area.
