Buyer’s Guide to Boats
Owning a boat is a rewarding experience, but it’s not a purchase that you want to undertake lightly! It’s important to think about the size, hull shape and type of water you plan to boat in while you’re shopping, among other details. Boat Country in Everett, Washington, is proud to be your Evergreen State boat dealer. Read on to learn what factors you should think about when shopping for the perfect craft.
What Size You Need
The size of your boat will depend on how many people you plan to take in it on a regular basis. A family of five is going to need a much bigger boat than a solo fisher. If you just want to cruise around a lake on a sunny afternoon, then you won’t need to get a very big boat. However, if you plan to go out onto the open ocean, you’re going to want a much larger boat that can handle wind, rain, and waves without capsizing or taking on water.
What Water You’ll Boat In
The shape of your boat’s hull impacts the type of water you can take it into. For example, flat-bottom boats like skiffs and jon boats are liable to capsize in choppy waters. These are best used in shallow waterways that are calm. Deep V-hulls are capable of handling chop, but they are more likely to run aground in coastal areas and on riverbanks if you aren’t careful. The type of water can also affect the material that your desired boat is constructed from; aluminum is better for boats taken into saltwater because it resists corrosion.
What You'll Do
Finally, how you plan to use your boat will determine the type of boat that you should buy. Watersports towing requires a stronger boat that’s large enough to generate wakes and carry the towed wakeboarder or water skier. If you want to entertain people, you'll want lots of comfortable seating and deck space, as well as other amenities like a head (bathroom) or enclosed cabin to keep your guests happy and sheltered from bad weather. Avid fishers will want a boat that has a livewell and rod holders along with lots of storage space for all of their gear.
