Choosing Between New and Used Boats for Sale

Before you can decide to find used boats for sale, there are many considerations that you will need to make. One of these is on whether to buy a new or even a used boat. Each of the decision that you will make will have its pros & cons.
One of the advantages of new boats is that they are not only unblemished but they will provide you with some operations that are trouble-free from the beginning. These are usually sold by dealers who make order form the factory and with the right preparation by the dealer; the boats will be left in nothing short of their first class condition.

When you make the decision to buy, ensure that the dealer will provide the support not only when you are buying but throughout the years that you will own the boat. Make sure you ask around the boat shows as well as the location of the dealer to ensure that you will be buying from a dealer who is reputable and is strongly committed to the customer service.
One of the cons of the new boats is that they are more expensive as compared to the used boats. However, when you purchase a new boat, you will be entitled to the coverage for warranties as well as the manufacturer’s support that is available with the new boat.

When you buy a used boat, it may be covered by the manufacturer warranty especially when it is sold by a reputable dealer. There are also many used boats that do not have the warranty especially those which are older and are being sold by brokers and private individuals. When buying a boat with no warranty, you will be taking a greater risk in regard to the overall quality of the boat as compared to what you do when you choose a new boat. This is because you will have little knowledge on the history of that boat, its maintenance and whether or not it has ever being involved in an accident or suffered any type of damage. If you are searching for used boats for sale, you should contact Bendigo Marine.

Understanding the Future of Outboards

Outboards have become popular in the recent past and indications are that they will still remain popular in the next few decades to come. This is why it is important to understand how their future will look like. One of the major things to note is that outboard engines will mostly rely on petrol for the next few decades. This means that users need to use their boats in an efficient manner to reduce the cost of fuel and maximize on the time spent in water.
While there are outboard companies that are investigating some other alternative fuel for the purpose of powering the recreational boats, any new technology that is released will usually be many years off. Some of the short term to medium term issues that the major outboard manufacturing companies are looking at includes developing outboards that are fuel efficient in the current platforms instead of introducing the alternative systems of power. As at now the boat users can use various tactics to reduce the amount of juice that we use during our navigation in water. Experts suggest that one of the best ways of minimizing the amount of fuel used in water is to sail at a speed that ranges from medium to high.


It is also worth noting that the new age DI 2 stroke and the EFI 4 stroke are usually more fuel efficient as compared to the traditional 2 stroke. This is on top of the fact that these are friendlier to the environment. However, it is important to access the benefits of changing the engine before you can decide to lash out. If you run the 2 stroke tiller steer that has less than 25hp, you will be left with no option but to do a lot of fishing and this will result in lots of fuel as you recoup the extra money that is needed to invest in the 4 stroke as well as the DI 2 stroke.
