Buyers Guide To Boat Shopping!
One of the best ways to enjoy the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico is to venture out on a boat. Owning a boat is a very rewarding experience, allowing you access to fishing, swimming, cruising, watersports, and more.Loewer Powersports & Equipment in Alexandria, Louisiana, is proud to be your Bayou State boat dealer. Read on to learn about some important factors to consider when you’re shopping for the perfect craft.
What Size?
The first thing you’ll want to determine is how large your boat will need to be. This depends on a few factors: how many passengers you want to take with you, where you plan to cruise and what you plan to do with your boat. If you’re going on a fishing jaunt with one or two other people on a calm lake, then you won’t have to get a very big boat. But if you want to go out on the gulf with several people, you’re going to need something pretty large that can handle choppy waters.
Which Type of Hull?
Next, think about the hull shape you’ll need. Flat-bottom boats are best for calm, inland waterways like rivers, lakes, and ponds. They are also best for shallow water so you can go on over sandbars without running aground.If you plan to go out into choppy water or difficult conditions like you’d find on the ocean, then you need a deep-V hull that can handle the waves without tipping over. A V-hull won’t work well in shallow water, so you’ll need to be mindful when cruising close to shore.
What Will You Do?
Finally, you’ll want to get a boat that’s suitable for the activities you wish to do. A watersports boat will need a fast and powerful engine, a towing eye, and cruise control, among other features. Fishing boats will have features like rod holders, additional outboard motors, live wells, and baitwells. Entertaining boats will have to have a lot of deck space and cozy seating for all of your passengers. If you want to go out overnight, you need to get a boat with an enclosed cabin that has a head (bathroom) and sleeping berths, at the very least.Ready to choose the perfect vessel?
