Reasons to Buy a New Boat
There’s no better way to spend a gorgeous day than on your very own boat, but these machines can be expensive, so it’s important to get the right one. While it can be tempting to buy a pre-owned model to stretch your dollar, in the long run a new boat is a better investment. We here at Shoreline Boat Center don’t want you to just take our word for it, of course, so we’ve put together a few of the benefits of a new boat, below. To learn more, or to see the new boats we have for sale, contact our store in Green Lake, Wisconsin, today!
Peak Condition
First and foremost, a new boat will come to you in the prime of its life. These factory-fresh vessels have never been worked hard by previous owners, meaning they won’t have any excessive wear and tear on them and no pending maintenance. This is important in two ways. Firstly, because it means you get to put the boat through its paces the second you hit the water, no worrying about whether the previous owners kept up with service.
Secondly, you won’t need to put a lot of money towards the boat, then immediately fork out more money for maintenance that the last owners put off.
No Funk
Boats will, to varying degrees, have to deal with mold and mildew throughout their life. That’s just an inevitable part of enjoying a pastime that involves a lot of splashing water and hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. With a pre-owned model, you risk finding mold and mildew infestations that escaped earlier notice. These can cause mechanical issues, but they can also stink. New boats have barely touched the water, though, meaning no dealing with weird smells or dirty seats!
Warranty Protection
In fact, one of the few things your new boat might get tripped up on is a factory defect, but the emphasis there goes on “might.” These issues are rarities, and when they do happen, chances are they’re covered under your boat’s warranty. Every new model comes off the lot with one or more manufacturer warranties to ensure any and all issues arising from such a problem will be at least partly covered. Many warranties will also help cover regular maintenance going forward, saving you even more money down the line!
Modern Tech
New boats are also more recent construction, meaning they benefit from any and all innovations on the market. You won’t just get a more comprehensive entertainment system and a more powerful engine—you may get a hull with a unique hull design that improves performance, better fuel efficiency, and more! There’s no need to replace outmoded features, which can be both expensive and annoying.
