Buy a Used Boat For an Affordable Boat Experience

By Mike Railey


If you are planning to buy a boat, you have the option to buy a new boat or a used boat. Buying a used boat is very similar to buying a used car, the price you get for a used ca is considerably lesser than a new one, you get all the benefits of the depreciation in the value of the boat. The only thing to keep in mind however is the condition of the boat. You should be able to check the boat carefully before going for a purchase. If you don't have enough knowledge about boats, get the services of some expert to find you one. There are a lot of brokers who deal in used boat. Brokers often buy the boat, refurbish them and sell them again for a profit.

If you are tight on the money, buying a used boat could be the best bet. You even get some good finance on the used boats. Used boat loans make good sense as the cost of the boat is spread over a few years which you can pay easily. The brokers who deal in used boats also make arrangements for a loan if the client needs it. As with any other loan, its always a good idea to check the terms and conditions in advance before finalizing any offer. There are lenders who does not deal in the boats but give loans for used boats. You can compare the terms and conditions including the processing fee and other hidden costs with these lenders as well.

Used boats are definitely more affordable especially for the first time boat owners. When going for the boat or the loan you can always negotiate at the price and the other terms like interest rates or the loan period. Get a used boat in a good condition and get a used boat loan to enjoy the experience of a owning a boat.

Most large yachts, 50 feet (15 m) and up, are also cruisers, but their design varies greatly as they are often "one off" designs tailored to the specific needs of the buyer.The interior is often finished in wood panelling, with plenty of storage space. Cruisers are quite capable of taking on long-range passages of many thousands of miles. Such boats have a cruising speed upwards of 6 knots. This basic design is typical of the standard types produced by the major yacht-builders.

Ketches are similar to a sloop, but there is a second shorter mast to the stern of the mainmast, but forward of the rudder post. The second mast is called the mizzen mast and the sail is called the mizzen sail. A ketch can also be cutter-rigged with two headsails.

Reading this sailing blog for the past few weeks makes me realize how incredibly difficult it must be to own a boat if you don't have the skills to do the mechanical work yourself. I wonder what percent of today's cruisers rely on a mechanic versus do-it-yourself?

Firstly, I use an agent for a sailing yacht where a lot of cruisers do everything themselves and thus save quite a considerable amount of money. The reason for using an agent is time - we are undertaking a delivery and the quicker we can get through the canal the better. I used Stanley Scott and he is kept updated as to the date and time of our arrival in Colon.
