The Essential Boating Safety Tips

Posted: 7/3/2014 9:56:40 AM by | with 0 comments

No matter how much experience a boater may have, it is always a good idea to ensure you are well prepared and review the essential boating safety tips before each trip on the water.

Here is an idea of what to look for to ensure you are fully prepared:
 
  • Plan accordingly for the weather. It is critical to be weather wise and know what the weather will be like before your departure, as well as during your time on the water. In the event that you are on the water and notice things such as dark clouds or lightning, it is important to get off the water as soon as possible.
  • Use a checklist before departing. In order to ensure that you not only have the appropriate materials for your boating adventure, but also ensure that you are aware of the safety rules and regulations that you should follow.
  • Designate an Assistant Skipper. It is critical to ensure that there is another person on board that is familiar with general boating safety, as well as know how to handle and drive your boat in case of emergencies.
  • Use the appropriate safety equipment. Life jackets are a must, especially for any children or boaters who cannot swim.
  • Take a boating course. By completing a boating safety course, you can ensure that you are familiar with the boating safety rules of operation before hitting the open water.
  • Use your common sense. It is imperative to use your common sense in combination with your knowledge to ensure the best boating experience possible. Avoid doing things such as using unsafe speeds, distracted operating, and being respectful of other boaters and buoys.
 
These safety tips are to be used as a guideline, and in addition to other beneficial safety preparedness plans that you may already have in place. Always remember to let family or friends know what your float plan is, including when, where, and who is all on board.
 
OnlyInboards is the Internet’s largest inboard specific resource and marketplace. Whether you are in the market for a used wakeboard, ski, or inboard boat, or are simply looking to enhance your current one with our large selection of accessories, visit us today.


3 Reasons Why Everyone Should Take Up Wakeboarding

Posted: 12/31/2013 9:26:26 AM by | with 0 comments

1. It's easy to find someone to teach you

Just like when a skier or snowboarder buys the lift ticket and lesson pass to hit the mountain for the first time, there are plenty of people who are great at teaching wakeboarding around the world.  More likely than not, there is someone in your city who coaches the sport so you can learn without picking up any bad habits or bad experiences.

2. You can choose to use a boat

Even if you can't find anyone who owns a boat, you can check out a Cable Park to get started.  Cable Parks are set on small lakes and involve 2-5 towers posted around the lake with around six carrier systems pulling people in circles around the lake.  There are generally ramps and rails in the water that people use for tricks, just like in snowboarding and skateboarding.  Once you fall off, you take a short swim to the shore and line up for another turn.

3. It's a social sport

You get to know your friends well by spending countless hours in the boat with.  These friendships transfer to a large network of people who love boating.  Even better, wherever you are in the world, there is usually someone stoked to take you wakeboarding in their hometown.  It's one really big community.

Where to start

Only Inboards is the web's number one source for wakeboards, wakeboard boats,

ski boats, inboard boats with wakeboard towers,wakeboard racks and wakeboard towers. Start your wakeboarding with Only Inboards!



The Run Down On Wake Board Towers

Posted: 10/23/2013 1:24:02 PM by | with 0 comments

There was once a time where seeing a wake board tower was a rare occurrence.  Now, they are everywhere.  As the water sport industry grows, so does the wake boarding scene.


Whether you are buying a new boat, or looking to add a tower to an old boat, you need to figure out what tower will be the right one for your needs.  Even more important, ask yourself where you can find a quality wake board tower at a great deal.  How do you buy the right tower for your needs that also works on your boat?

The Run Down

It is common for wake board boat manufacturers to work with various wake board tower companies to provide wake board towers that fit perfectly with their boats.  Towers like these are called original equipment manufacturers (OEM) towers.  Boats and wake board towers like these are typically the creme de la creme for wake boarding.  Though creme de la creme may sound yummy, it is overbearingly expensive!  To get the best bang for your buck, look for a local business who is knowledgeable in everything wake boards and sells quality products.

The key is to find someone who can offer a variety of pristine wake board towers, along with gently used wake board towers in great condition.  By looking at both used and new wake board towers, you can get a general idea of what your budget and preferences can handle.  You may even find that a used wake board tower could be just as good as a brand new one, just cheaper!

As a dominant resource on the web for buying & selling inboard specific wake board and ski boats, Only Inboards is the place to start your search for the right boat, wake board, rack, wake board towers, and much more.  We strive to offer the best in inboard boat accessories for your needs.
