Buying a boat is a big expenditure, so you may be looking for ways to save money. One great way to save money on a boat is to buy it used instead of new. Used boats actually offer a number of benefits besides the amount of money you’ll save on the purchase. We’ve outlined a few of these perks below.

Save Money

Obviously, the biggest reason why anyone buys a used boat is because they know they’ll save money on the sticker price. Due to the process of depreciation, a new model loses a significant portion of its value as soon as it’s purchased and it will continue to use value for several months afterwards. As the second buyer, you can reap those savings benefits to the tune of thousands of dollars! You may also find insurance to be cheaper.

Shop a Bigger Selection

The used boat market also has thousands more models available, due to the simple fact that a used boat can be anywhere from one to several years old. Boats that are a few decades old have great vintage appeal and you may actually want their simpler layouts if you’re not a big fan of technology. You’ll be able to shop for many more options when you shop the used boat market instead of looking only at models released in the last year.
