Finding The Perfect Boat
Your Own Boat
Finding the perfect boat is an undertaking for an
experienced boater. For the first time boater, it
can be a very difficult task to accomplish. To
help you with your quest for the perfect boat,
there are a few things you should know.
Deciding what's important
Choosing the right boat is all about knowing what's
really important to you. You need to decide whether
you'll be using the boat for your own private use,
fishing, or cruising. You should also consider your
families feelings, as buying a boat for your own
personal needs without consulting your family will
probably lead to disappointing experiences or less
time spent on the water.
Types of boats
Typically, boats will fall into five categories -
fishing boats, power boats, sailboats, personal
watercraft, and self powered boats. To help you
find the perfect boat, we'll take a look at what
each one offers.
Fishing boats
The designs for fishing boats will vary quite a
bit, as are the places you can use them. The boats
that are meant for shallow waters of inland lakes
and rivers aren't the same boats meant for deep
seas and great lakes. There are many different
designs, even boats that serve no other purpose
besides fishing.
These types of boats normally have stowage and
holders for bait, fishing poles, tackle, and
even special tanks to hold live fish. Other types
of fishing only boats feature an open platform
where anglers can fight fish from all sides of
the boat.
Power boats
Power boats are the most popular boats sold. The
designs with power boats are as varied as their
uses. Boats with seating in the front are
called bowriders, which are mainly used for towing
skiers or rafts. Most boats can also be used for
fishing as well. If you want to do both,
there are ski and fish combinations available.
Sailboats
When you first learn to pilot a sailboat, it can
be very challenging, although very rewarding as
well. A sailboat requires more skill and
knowledge to operate than boats, although they
are considered more rewarding once mastered.
With all available sailboats, the single masted
sloop is the most popular design. For those who
only boat on occasion, catboats, daysailers, and
dinghys are small and easily trailerable.
When you finally decide on the perfect boat for
you, look at what each one offers and how you
plan to use it. The perfect boat for you is
out there, all you have do is find the one that
best matches your needs.
how to find the perfect yacht/boat?
i fell in love with the sunseeker yachts but the prices of such yacht is wayy to high.. anyone know of similar designed boats with a below a million dollar price tag? used or new!
Forget the "Brand name" for a moment. . .
Finding a really good deal on a great boat takes a lot of time, effort, and even work. But hey, how long does it take you to earn enough money to take home $250,000 or $500,000? As that is what you are looking to save... so it is worth the effort.
If you are seriously in the market for a great boat at a great price - there is no better time then now... Those deals are out there. You just have to find them...
Now, if you want to stick with a particular "Brand name". . . You have substantially increased the time, effort, and work required to find your "perfect" boat.
I suggest you use a "Certified Boat Broker"... Now, this guy works for you (not the seller) and he has fantastic connections, and knows all the places to look... And he can help you find that "perfect" boat at a price you are willing to pay - or he cost you nothing... But, you need to treat this guy with utmost respect. He will look after your best interests, he will only look at boats that are (or can be) surveyed by a professional Marine Surveyor... and he knows boats better then you know your own face.
In your price range, this is the only way to go (in my opinion). Are there vessels like the Sunseeker for under a million? You bet there are... and you will be amazed at just how many there really are. So, if you want to know how many there are, you can find that on your own... But, if you are seriously only interested in finding that "ONE" that's perfect for you... get yourself a good Certified Boat Broker. (If you don't know one, I suggest you get the names of a few in your area from your Banker... then go out and meet them, and choose the one you relate to the best. He will do you the best job.)
Good Luck,
Happy & Safe Boating,
John

Unfortunately, buying a boat is expensive, and I have no knowledge of sailing.
