Why You Want a Used Boat

Boating can be thrilling, relaxing, and even profitable, but buying your own boat can be expensive and risky. We here at New Jersey Outboards want to help you get the perfect vessel without breaking the bank, so we’ve put together some of the benefits of buying your boat pre-owned. To learn more, or to see the used boats we have for sale, contact our store in Bayville, New Jersey, today!

The Money

Obviously a lower upfront cost is a big draw, but there are more savings than just what’s cut off the price tag! Used boats are cheaper to insure, register, and maintain, and because they retain their value better, they can also get you closer to what you originally paid if you trade them in or sell them down the line.

Those savings can be used to get you a better, bigger, or more luxurious boat than you could’ve otherwise afforded, or just allow you to deck it out to better suit your unique needs.

The Information

With a used boat, there’s a better chance that the model you’re interested in has been thoroughly reviewed and examined by the boating community already. You’ll be able to peruse customer reviews to see if there are any concerning or exciting trends. Most used boats will also have a thorough maintenance history and you may be able to speak to the previous owner directly, allowing you to understand the shape it's in and if there are any quirks.
