Boat Buying Guide

 

Do you daydream all summer about beating the heat in your very own boat? There’s nothing like spending a sunny day cruising the water, whether you’re enjoying your solitude on the open sea or throwing a lake party with family and friends. But with so many different kinds of boats out there, how does the boating beginner narrow down their options to choose the perfect boat? Read on to learn more about boats, then visit American Marine & Motorsports in Shawano, WI, and let our knowledgeable staff guide you to the boat of your dreams.

 

Size matters!

 

What size boat are you looking for? Your answer will depend on two things: the body of water you’ll be cruising and the number of passengers you want to accommodate. Do you dream of conquering the seven seas? You’ll want a large vessel to tackle those breakers, and one that can weather stormy conditions. Do relaxed trips to the local fishing hole sound more appealing? Then you can make do with a much smaller craft. On the other hand, if you want the whole family to get in on the fun, then you’ll want to go big either way!

 

What’s in a hull?

 

Hull shape is another important consideration when choosing a boat. Boats with flat, wide hulls have the advantage in the shallow waters of smaller lakes and rivers, where they can easily coast over obstacles without running aground. Seafaring requires a more V-shaped hull that can cut through deep water. There are crafts of all sizes that come with either flat or V-shaped hulls to suit a variety of conditions.

 

What floats your boat?

 

This brings us to perhaps our most important question: what kind of boating experience appeals to you? Most boats lend themselves to a variety of uses, but you’ll want to select a boat with all the features you need to make your boating dreams come true.

 

Do you picture hosting a summer party on your boat? Pontoons and yachts are a great choice for entertaining because they can accommodate large groups. Are you keen on fishing? Aluminum boats make ideal fishing vessels, and they come in many shapes and sizes. Are watersports on your agenda? You’ll want a boat that’s large and strong enough for towing skiers, and one that’s outfitted with a ladder for helping skiers in and out of the water.
