Before you Buy a Boat

Boating

Visit a Boat Show

Visit a local boat show. Take a look at all available options and board as many boats as you can. Discuss your wants and needs with dealers and experts at the boat show; they will answer any questions you may have about specific boat types and help you choose the one that will fit your needs and desires. For a list of boat and sport shows in your area, please visit our Boat Show Calendar

Visit a Dealer

If you’re in the market for a boat, boat dealers are a great resource. Purchasing a boat from a dealer offers a number of advantages, including:

• access to multiple finance sources and/or special manufacturer and dealer finance programs
