What’s the best time of year to buy?
The short answer is fall and here’s why: boat manufacturers employ hundreds of workers to handcraft each and every boat. In order 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, even better than the boat show!
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 boat show promotions we are offering in the 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 2023 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.

What other benefits do I get from buying in the Fall?
If the idea of purchasing a predesigned, in-stock model just doesn’t cut it for you, then buying in the fall is the only way to guarantee your customized boat will be ready to hit the water in next Summer when you are. Fall boat buyers are able to customize their boat colors and options and create a boat that matches their family’s lifestyle. If you wait until boat show season, orders could get backed up.
