Why You Want a Used Boat

Boating can be thrilling, relaxing, profitable, or some combination of the three, but buying your own boat can be expensive. We here at Shoreline Boat Center want to help you make the most of a beautiful day without breaking the bank, so we’ve put together some reasons why a used boat might be for you, below. To learn more, or to see the used boats we have for sale, contact our store in Green Lake, Wisconsin, today!

Finances

Like we mentioned, buying your boat used can save you a boatload of cash. Depreciation decreases a boat’s value considerably after just one year of ownership, but then it plateaus. Basically, used boats are cheaper and retain their value better! Not to mention that used boats are cheaper to insure, register, maintain, and more, allowing you to put all those savings into getting a better model and more supplies.

Learning the Ropes

Even if you’re an experienced mariner, getting a boat and learning its particular quirks and traits can take some time, and it can lead to a few bruises along the way. Hitting the docks or scraping the hull of a new boat can feel awful, but with a used boat, you don’t have to worry about breaking something shiny and factory-fresh.
