After Your Boat Purchase

Once you've made the purchase on a brand new boat you'll be very excited - as you should be!  The first thing to do is celebrate with your family and friends, you deserve it.  You shouldn't rush out on the water immediately after the purchase, as you have some things to take care of first.

If you are new to boating, you should take a safety course first.  There is a lot to know about boats.  Being out on the water is a lot of fun, although there are things you should know and things you should always be aware of.

After buying your boat, you should register it and re-title the boat and trailer if you need to.  Pay your sales tax and apply any up to date registration stickers if you need to.  Also, make sure you buy the proper insurance for your boat, as it will  protect you while you are on the water.

When you make your first trip on the water, you should do so with an experienced boater.  You can have them show you turning in tight spaces, even trailering and docking.  Practice docking in different currents and take the helm with the boater there to help you.  Get comfortable at the helm enough to where you'll feel comfortable taking others out for a ride.



The world of boating can be very fun, offering youmany things to do and a lot to see.  Boating offers plenty of freedom as well, especially for those who are completely new to boating.  Your first boat purchase is very important, as it opens up new doorsb in life. Your family will enjoy boating, all you have to do is give it a chance!
