What to Consider When Buying a Boat

Owning a boat is extremely rewarding, but it can be difficult to narrow down your options. Boats come in many shapes and sizes and they’re each designed to suit different purposes. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself so that you can figure out which type of boat is best for your needs.


How Big Should It Be?

First, think about the size of boat you need. This will depend on the bodies of water you intend to boat in, as well as the number of people you want to take with you. Ocean-going boats have to be bigger and sturdier with deep-V hulls to be able to handle choppy water, while a boat for a narrow river has to have a flat bottom and a slim frame to help you navigate the shallows. You can find boats that only seat one or two people, or you can find large boats with enclosed cabins that can handle upwards of ten passengers.


How WIll You Use It?

Next, you should consider how you plan to use the boat. Do you want to go fishing? You’ll want features like a trolling motor, a livewell, swivel seats, and rod holders. Do you intend to tow people who are doing watersports? You’ll want ballast and a powerful motor with a cruise control option. Do you want to entertain large groups? Spacious decks, coolers, wet bars, and comfortable seating will be your priorities.
