Fall Boat Buying: 4 Mistakes to Avoid
As the summer boating season winds down, we believe it’s a great time to buy a boat! Many boat dealers want to make room for new model year inventory that will be rolling in and that means great deals for you!
As you’re shopping for a new boat, there are common mistakes we see many boat shoppers make when they come into Buxton Marine. Whether you are shopping for a Nautique Paragon, GS22 Nautique for sale in Lewisville, or another boat model, here are 4 mistakes to avoid in the process:
Shopping Too Small
We know it can be difficult to commit to a larger, more expensive boat when it seems that a smaller one will fit your needs. The trouble is that we often see people buy a boat of one size, only to wish they had more room for friends and family to join them out on the lake. Many times, we will see a customer again a year or two later, ready to trade in for more space! Don’t bother with the hassle of buying and selling and buying again. Buy bigger and enjoy more room on the lake!
Forgetting Future Needs
It is hard to know exactly what your boating needs will be 5 years from now, but try to think through how your interests may grow. If you’re planning to buy a boat to enjoy for years to come, try to get something with the versatility to enjoy a ride range of interests. What are your primary purposes for buying now? Is it skiing? Fishing? Wakeboarding? Would you want to wakesurf or tube down the road? There are important considerations when determining the type of boat for you.
Skimping on Research
Buying a boat is a huge purchase. Just like with anything, it’s important to adequately research the makes and models of boats you are considering. Once you’ve narrowed your search, visit dealers and get a feel for what they have to offer. Don’t assume that the boat your buddy has is the right boat for you! Do your own research and you can rest assured you’ll be happy with your purchase.
Thinking the Best Deals are at Boat Shows
