If you ever thought that boat auctions would be limited to the fortunate few, then you are wrong. They happen every day and can change hands of even the most frugal of buyers. That is why it is now possible to get yourself involved with local boat auctions in many states across the country.
What is it about buying boats that collectors and boat collectors seek so inthetically? Is it the superb paintwork and the immaculate perfection of design, or is it the long lived history and the tradition of boat building that has so captivated you?
It can be none of these. Collectors and boat collectors are attracted to boats because they not only look good, but they also carry an almost mythic status. Just like Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods, boats that are digitized are instantly regarded as super-heroes, their status instantaneous and absolute.
B boats ranging from 1 to 4 feet are easily found. Of course, the larger the size of the boat, the more the number of people wanting to buy them. Naturally, there will be a gap between the sizes, especially if there is a transition period between the sizes.
That is why it is advisable to be the first to step in the boat-shopping experience, unless you happen to be the last person to buy a boat on the market. If the boat is too big, its value will suffer, and it will be almost impossible to sell it when you no longer can use it. On the other hand, small boats are selling like hot cakes, so you have to make sure that you can afford the boat.
A good boat is a boat within your price range. This means that it is possible to buy a boat for around $200. Smaller boats, which can be boats of around two feet are generally easy to buy.
Before you set out to buy a boat, make up your mind what you are looking for. Ask yourself: How much will I spend? How large is the boat going to be? How comfortable will I be while boating?
These are all important questions, but the main one is: How much money do you have for spending on the boat? There are many reasons for setting down a figure for your Purchase Price.
The purchase price includes everything, the cheering feet, the Flags, the badges, the fuel, the meals while cruising, and the various other accessories that one requires while sailing.
Also, it includes the cost of waiting for the boat, whether to rest and sleep on the boat, and also buying further accessories.
For example, the boat may have a Chelene designed hull, and is only six and a half feet long. The purchase price of a chelene sailing boat may be around $12,000. But if you could afford $5,000 to $10,000 for the boat, then the amount of money you could spend on it would increase.
Marshalling is the practice of assembling a boat with several levels of Difficulty. The highest being the beginner, and the lowest being themers.
Before you set out to look for a boat, you would want to know the following things.
• What type of boat you intend to buy?• Are you going to be using the boat for fishing?• Is the boat going to be used for speedboat racing?• Are you looking for fishing standards only?• Of what size would you like to boat?
If you are looking only for fishing boats, then a 4-oor configuration is appropriate. But if you are going to use the boat for fishing nontheless, then a 7-oor or a 9-oard boat is a better choice.
And now comes the difficult part. oneself has to make the decision on when and where to buy. But before buying one, one has to see whether there are sufficient options available. It is much better to buy the boat when there are enough choices available.
Even if there are only a few choices available, you can still pick the one that you think is going to offer you the most value for your money. Factors like the boat’s performance, the brand, the condition of the boat and the price.
