Winter boat show season is one of the best times all year to buy your next craft. Manufacturers and dealers want to move last year’s models and book sales before the season even starts, so they often offer nice incentives and are ready to negotiate. Not only can you get a great deal, but you also ensure your new vessel will be prepped, equipped and ready on Day 1 of the boating season. If this is your year to buy a new boat, attending a boat show can be an efficient way to shop and best way to take advantage of seeing so many dealers and a variety of boat models all in one place.
