New Vs. Used Boat Models

New and used boat models both have their perks. However, they tend to be popular among very different groups of buyers. If you’re in the market for a boat, and unsure if a new or used model is the better choice for you, we recommend checking out our article below to discover the pros and cons of both options. 

The Benefits of Used Boats

Used boats are a great pick for buyers on a budget! However, their low price tag isn’t the only way a used boat can save you money. These models are typically more affordable to insure than new boats and depreciate at a much lower rate. If you’re new to boat ownership, a used model is likely the best option for you. Light damage—which is often inevitable with new boaters—won’t decrease the value of your model as significantly if it's used, and will make it much easier to sell or trade in your model if you ever decide to upgrade. 

The Benefits of New Boats

New boats are often a popular pick among boating enthusiasts or hobbyists who are looking for a model that can exhibit top performance. Because new boats include a variety of top-of-the-line tech and parts, they’re often able to outperform used models. New boats will also come with a variety of warranties to protect their important parts and components, making it much easier to care for a new model and ensure it lasts as long as it should.
