What Are The Benefits Of Buying A Used Boat?

It goes without saying that a used boat is less expensive than a new one, but that’s not the only reason to buy a pre-owned watercraft. At Rhode Island Watersports, we’d like to highlight some of the lesser-known benefits of buying used watercraft. Our Oakland, RI used boat dealership is proud not only to serve our local Wuster County area, but nearby cities like Providence, Boston, and Hartford as well.   

Lower Upfront Cost

From the moment a new boat leaves the dealership, it begins to lose some of its value. This process, known as deprecation, certainly isn’t good news for new boat buyers, but it also means that gently used and like-new boats are available for hundreds or even thousands of dollars less than otherwise identical new boats. If there is a top-of-the-line watercraft that has everything you want except a reasonable price point, you might be able to find the same model for cheaper by buying a used boat from our dealership. 

Greater Number Of Options

Each year, companies release only a handful of new models, and the boat of your dreams may or may not be among them.  With used boats, you have the advantage of a much wider selection. Naturally, this can make finding the boat that best fits you much easier, especially if you are looking for a unique feature or layout.

Better For First-Time Buyers

There are many different kinds of boats, and even within each subtype, there can be a lot of variation in features and customization. It’s intimidating for a first-time buyer. Many find themselves wishing they hadn’t passed on certain features or regretting spending the extra money on things they turned out not to need. A first-time owner who finds that their boat doesn’t provide the experience they need will be able to pay off and sell their unwanted watercraft much more quickly if they thought ahead and bought used. 

If you’re interested in purchasing a used boat, the friendly staff here at Rhode Island Watersports is always happy to provide personalized suggestions. We offer a wide range of used models and always strive to make the shopping experience simple and stress-free. Our Oakland, Rhode Island pre-owned boat dealership is proud to serve both customers from nearby Wuster County and Providence as well as out-of-towners from Boston and Springfield.
