As a rule in normal years, boats don’t appreciate in value but during periods of high inflation, they appreciate based on the price to replace it with the new model. As the new boat prices increase the pre-owned boats usually follow suit. Keep in mind there are lots of variables that affect value including condition, hours, and year of the boat.
When it comes to choosing the right size of boat that you should purchase really comes down to personal use. Some good questions to ask to help you determine what size of boat to purchase is what kind of activities are you planning to do? Are you fishing alone at your favorite Manitoba lake or are you taking your whole family? If you planning on doing watersports on Lake Manitoba you should plan for a few extra seats as no one likes to go alone. We recommend always following the 80/20 rule purchase your boat size for what your planning to do 80% of the time and the other 20% you will make it work.
Choosing the right boat hull to purchase is a big choice. Like so many options it really comes down to the use you are planning to use the boat for. Are you strictly fishing and looking for something light and reliable? If that is the case an Aluminum boat might be the option for you. If you are looking for something that is going to handle the large choppier water and waves better you might want to consider a deeper heavier V-shaped hull. If you are planning on doing shallow water with limited waves a flat bottom hull might be a great choice. We offer watercraft in all shapes and sizes to help narrow down exactly what you need for your intended use.
As a rule, some of the best websites to purchase pre-owned boats are off of boat dealers or power sports dealers’ websites. These boats usually go through an intensive inspection process to make sure they work and most dealerships stand behind what they sell. You can alternatively purchase off classified websites like Kijiji and Autotrader but normally these are private sales and with anything, there are no guarantees and a private seller isn’t obligated to offer to help if something goes wrong or they mislead you. Purchasing from a private seller there is usually very little recourse you can do compared to purchasing from a dealership with a dealer’s permit.
Manitoba is full of a huge amount of activities you can accomplish on a new boat. Some of the most common activities are fishing, hunting, water skiing, tubing, wake surfing, and entertaining family and guests on your boat.
Like with anything if your looking for a simple low maintenance boat simpler is key. Purchase a model like a Lund Fury 1600 that has way fewer moving parts than that 40′ Yacht with fridges, stoves, and generators on board.
