Used Wake Boat Buying Guide

Wake boats are fun, fast, and thrilling to ride, but they don’t come cheaply. This is why many people who want one of these boats end up shopping for pre-owned wake boats instead. Keep reading to learn more about what you should consider when buying a used wake boat.

Overview

First, you should fully understand what a wake boat is. A wake boat is a type of motorboat with a rear-facing engine that generates wakes off the stern. These waves can be shaped and honed with various features, including hydrofoil plates and the use of ballast to push the stern deeper into the water, to allow watersports participants like wakeboarders and water skiers to jump them. Cruise control is a common feature on wake boats to allow the operator to maintain the boat at a consistent, even speed.

Shopping Considerations

When shopping for a pre-owned wake boat, it’s important to make note of any features you particularly want so that you can seek out a model that already has these features on it. Also, you’ll want to carefully inspect the pre-owned model you want to buy so that you can look for any signs of structural damage, water leakage, or wear and tear that seems excessive.
