Boat Buying Guide

There are many important factors to consider when choosing the perfect boat. This is an exciting time with many fun-filled boating trips to look forward to, but we strongly encourage you to do proper research before reaching a final decision. You’ll want to consider a number of things like what type of vessel is best for your boating needs and the size of the craft.

At Cope Marine, we’ve got you covered with all the information you need in order to choose the perfect boat. Once you’ve reached a decision, visit one of our dealerships in O’Fallon, IL and Branson West, MO, so that we can help you close the deal!
 

Determining the Size

One important aspect that you’ll want to consider is the size of your boat, which will be determined by how big your crew is. The more people you plan to bring along for the excitement, the bigger the boat you will need to be. This isn’t only about comfort, but safety as well. Every passenger should have a place to sit while the craft is in motion.

Size can also depend on where you plan to take your boat. For example, ocean vessels tend to be bigger to accommodate the harsher environment. Sportier models, on the other hand, can be smaller and thinner for a more sleek design. You’ll also want to keep in mind that larger boats can be more difficult for beginners to control. Be sure to consider all of these issues when deciding how big your craft needs to be. This way, you can ensure that you’ll get the most out of your on-water adventures.



 

Consider Your Purpose

When you know how you plan to use your boat, you’ll have a much clearer idea of what you need as you start browsing models. If you’re dreaming of venturing to calm waterways, you can probably get by with a fairly small vessel. Shallow water fishing will call for a flat-bottom boat so it doesn’t run aground. When you head out into the open ocean, you’ll need a much bigger craft with a deep V-shaped hull that can handle the rough waters.

Some models are geared toward a specific purpose, while others can serve a variety of different needs. You’ll find there are boats primarily made for enjoying tow watersports, boats meant for fishing, and ones that are designed for leisurely cruising. Whatever you have in mind, you’ll want to establish if you need a vessel meant for one purpose or something a bit more versatile.



Now that you’re armed with information and ready to choose the perfect boat, stop by Cope Marine in O’Fallon, IL and Branson West, MO, to check out our inventory.
