Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best time of year to buy?
The short answer is fall and here’s why: manufacturers employ hundreds of workers to handcraft each boat. To streamline production, raw material purchasing, and employ their skilled craftsmen throughout the year, manufacturers must offer discounts in the fall to stimulate sales when demand is at its lowest. 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 short answer – up to thousands! By purchasing now, you help manufacturers plan their schedules in which they offer dealers early buy incentives that we can pass on to you. Combine those with additional special promotions we are offering this fall, it’s the best time to buy a boat in years!
*Incentives vary by model. See dealer for details.
Does buying a boat in the fall affect my trade-in value?
Yes, buyers that purchase in the fall receive a higher trade-in value than those who wait until the spring or the summer of 2025 when the boat is another calendar year older. Additionally, trading in your current boat for a new model gives you a fresh warranty ensuring a hassle-free experience every time.
