Should I buy used or new? That is the question that most people will ask themselves when it comes to buying a boat. To some, this can pose a difficult task, while others are set on their beliefs and know exactly what they want. Regardless of your feelings now and before you make that big decision, here are some of the top reasons why you should buy a used wakeboard or ski boat:

1. Your boat is readily available. Used boats are usually immediately available the minute you hand over the cash. When buying a used boat, you will often times have to wait for the boat to be available or shipped to your location.

2. It saves you money. Since a boat can depreciate as much as 25-33% (over 10 years), it is a loss you don’t have to worry about. Not only can you find a boat for a more affordable price, but you will also have money left over to add accessories that will enhance your boating experience.

3. You have access to an assessment. When buying a used boat, you have the ability to have a Marine surveyor assess the condition of the boat, ensuring it is in the best condition possible before purchasing it.

4. You get a peace of mind. Not only will a used boat be sure to have it’s fair share of ding or dents, but you will rest assured knowing that you weren’t the one to put them there!

5. You can make enhancements. Sadly, manufacturer’s warranties prevent new boat owners from making any enhancements or personalized adjustments to the boat without it ruing the warranty. With a used boat, you can make your boat your own, on your own.
