3 reasons winter in Minnesota is the best time to buy your dream boat!
Why would anyone buy a boat in Minnesota in the winter? Great question!
Here are just 3 great reasons:
1. Selection-Fall and Winter provide an opportunity to choose from current model year inventory, next years newest offerings, and late season trade-ins. Boat dealers typically have inventory remaining from the current model year to choose from. For instance, at Wayzata Marine we have a mix of 2018 carryover models along with some 2019 inventory on display in our showroom on Lake Minnetonka so customers can compare the features and options. And if you find a Chaparral, Regal, Four Winns, Chris Craft or Barletta Pontoon boat that you love that's not in stock, you can order one just the way you want it!
2. Time to Do Your Research- Time is a precious commodity, especially when it comes to boating in Minnesota. So why waste any of that time shopping for the boat of your dreams when you should be using the boat of your dreams? The off-season provides the perfect time to do your research on boat brands, reputable dealers, and boat types. Learn about the latest trends in water sports like wake surfing, or cutting edge technology like the Volvo Forward Drive, and visit dealers to shop and compare.
3. Save Money!- Here's a little secret, Boat Dealers are motivated to sell boats in the off-season! Shocker right? While it's nice to have some carryover inventory for you (the savvy off-season boat buyer), they really would rather not have that inventory any more. So there are always opportunities for saving money on in-stock models. The manufacturers sometimes offer additional incentives to boat buyers to help dealers make room for...you guessed it, more inventory! Secret #2, manufacturers are motivated to sell boats in the off-season. You can see the pattern.
So there you have it, Selection, Time and Money. 3 pretty good reasons to buy a boat in the winter in Minnesota.
BONUS REASON! Winter, well, it can be a bit cold, a bit long, a bit dark and somewhat depressing. In other words...IT SU (better let you finish spelling that). GIVE YOUR FAMILY SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO!!! Use a picture of your new boat as your screen saver, stick it on the refrigerator, whatever works.
