OUTDOOR - YOUR GUIDE TO BUYING YOUR FIRST POWERBOAT - LET'S GO TROPICAL!
Introduction
So, you are ready to buy your very first powerboat! How exciting! You can
probably already see yourself out on the high seas, enjoying the wind, the sun,
and the waves – doing what you know you love – boating!
If you’re like most soon-to-be power boat captains, you’ve already planned your
first boating trip, and the only thing stopping you from leaving this very minute is
the fact that you haven’t bought the boat yet.
The first question you may ask when you arrive at the dealership will most likely
be ‘how much does it cost?’ But this really isn’t the first thing to consider. Neither
is ‘how fast does it go?’
While these are questions that need to be asked at some point, they aren’t the
first things to consider. A great deal of thought and research needs to go into
purchasing a power boat – even if it isn’t your first one! There are many decisions
to be made.
First, you need to understand that certain elements of a power boat have a huge
effect on the boats performance, handling, and safety. Not taking these things
into consideration could result in a disaster on the open seas that you don’t even
want to think about right now. Let’s just say that not taking the time to select the
right boat for your boating needs could result in a tragedy, such as death.
That’s what this guide is for – to help you learn everything you need to learn in
order to make the right decisions when you go power boat shopping. By the time
you finish studying this guide, you will arrive at the boat dealership well-prepared,
and while you will still have plenty of questions of your own to ask, such as ‘how
much is it?’ and ‘how fast does it go?’ you will be able to answer all of the
questions that the salesman needs to ask you as well.
Together, with help from
your salesman, it won’t take very long at all to find and buy the perfect power
boat for you.
Just so that we are on the same page, so to speak, let’s start by defining exactly
what a power boat is. A powerboat is any boat or water vessel that is powered by
an engine.
The engine may be an inboard engine, and inboard/outboard engine, or an
outboard engine. The engine may be powered by gas or diesel fuel, but diesel
fuel is usually used for larger powerboats.
Steam is another method of powering a powerboat, and the first powerboat was
in fact a steamboat. Obviously, this method of powering boats is out-dated and
no longer used.
Powerboats are typically between 10 and 220 feet long, and Yachts, which are
considered to be powerboats, may be even longer. The price for powerboats can
cost as little as $2000 for a small, used boat, on up into the millions for Yachts.
Depending on the type of powerboat you buy, there may be sleeping capacity for
0 to 10 people on board.
It is important to shop around. Don’t buy the first boat that you see at the first
dealer you visit. Visit other dealers in your area, or even in other towns. Check
out dealers websites online. Take a look at the used boats that are for sale as
well – you may find a stellar deal!
Read reviews on the various brands of boats that you are interested in. This is
always a great way to start your research when shopping for a boat – or any
other major purchase! Don’t pay attention to manufacturer type reviews – the
ones that are sales ads designed as reviews. Look for customer reviews. Those
are always the most enlightening.
Finally, read through this entire guide. Print out the checklist that you will find at
the end of the book, and take it with you when you go shopping for your first
powerboat.
Don’t assume that you will remember all of the things to ask or check! It is a
known fact that customers who are well informed are the ones that get the best
value and quality for their money. That’s the kind of customer you want to be,
and this guide can help you do it.
When you arrive at the dealership, and you tell the salesman that you are in the
market for a powerboat, you may get a blank stare. Keep in mind that the term
‘powerboat’ covers a great many types of boats! It’s a good idea to know what
type of powerboat you are looking for when you arrive, and to determine that, you
need to assess your boating needs and desires first. So read on!
