Explains everything required to select and acquire a boat for your needs. This book shows you how to: identify the best powerboat for you and determine the total cost of ownership; negotiate the best deal on a boat and avoid mistakes; and, understand boat financing, registration, insurance, and the legal obligations of boat owners.
Navigate the hazards of boat ownership with absolute confidence
Next to your house, your boat may well be the biggest investment you ever make. Buying and owning a boat involves one baffling decision after another. Yet informed, impartial guidance is almost impossible to find--until now, that is.
This essential manual provides a method to the madness of boat buying and ownership, plotting a straight course through an ocean of confusion while it answers such questions as:
Why fractional ownership often makes senseHow to avoid buying a boat you'll never useHow to identify the Goldilocks boat--not too big, not too smallHow to choose a powering optionHow to negotiate the best deal on any boat-new or usedHow to be your own surveyor, and why even a new boat may need a professional surveyWhy you should finance your boat even if you have the cash, and where to find the best loansHow to calculate the total cost of ownership before you buy!
