BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted January 25, 2021 BassResource.com Administrator Share Posted January 25, 2021 I noticed a lack of comprehensive information about boat buying across the Internet. Both written and videos don't go into enough detail to help people buy boats. So I put this video together to address that need. Whether you're looking for a new or used boat, or your first boat ever, this video dives into the details, including information you rarely hear about. Hope this helps! 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I disagree with as far as the financing advice is to take the max amount of months and pay it off early. As you said in your video "Life happens" I'd rather pay $400 a month on a $200 note than pay $200, because life happened, on a $400 note. Believe it or not the bank that financed my last 2 boats had lower interest rates for longer terms. I'm not sure that is still the "going rate" but it's something to consider.

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted March 4, 2021 Author BassResource.com Administrator Share Posted March 4, 2021 I don't think I said take the max amount of months, but I did say to pay it off early if you can. But you're right, it pays to shop around for the best loan. I think I said that in my video (did I?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory Doras Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Great video Glenn! You hit all the points. Things we never consider when we're on the hunt for our first big boat. I'm on boat #13 at the moment and I never lost money on a boat which is in itself is a miracle. Buy something that everyone else wants! Basically, buy a boat that is desirable in the used market. There are dozens of 18' or 20' bass boats made but only a few are being sold for basically the same price they were new 10-20yrs ago. Another thing, buy used. Bass boats havnt had any significant changes in over 20yrs, motors and electronics have but hulls and trailers havnt. Follow Glenns advise and possibly mine and you'll have plenty of extra $$ for tackle and electronics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
