Frequently Asked Questions -

When is the best time to buy a boat?

Fall stands out as the optimal season for boat purchases, and here's the reasoning behind it. During fall, demand reaches its lowest point, compelling manufacturers to provide substantial discounts in order to boost sales and maintain production throughout the entire year. Fall is without question the best time in the model year to purchase a new boat!

How much can I save by purchasing in the fall?

The potential savings amount is thousands of dollars! By purchasing at this time it aids manufacturers in scheduling, enabling them to provide dealers with early buy incentives, which we can then extend to you. When you combine these incentives with the extra special promotions we have for this fall, it makes this year one of the most opportune times to buy a boat! *Incentives vary by model. See dealer for details. 

Does buying a boat in the fall affect my trade-in value?

Indeed, individuals who make their purchase during the fall season enjoy greater trade-in values compared to those who delay their purchase until the spring or summer of 2024, when the boat's age reflects another calendar year. Furthermore, exchanging your existing boat for a new model comes with the benefit of a brand-new warranty, guaranteeing a trouble-free experience with each outing, along with savings on winterization and storage.

Even MORE ways to SAVE

It may come as a surprise, but we have an additional way for you to cut costs on your new boat purchase. With the arrival of the 2024 models in our showrooms, we need to create more room for them.
