Boat Seat Pedestals For Added Comfort Or Convenient Replacements
You will not want to make the mistake that many eager buyers do by not having it checked out thoroughly from top to bottom. Never take for granted that just because someone is selling the boat at a higher price that the boat is in great condition. Have a pro look over the motor and the rest of the running gear. Also, check out the appliances, seats, boat seat pedestals, steering mechanisms, and anchor engine. Obviously, you will check for cracks in the bottom of the boat, but do not forget to check the roof for leaks.
You should not only make sure it is in perfect working condition, but that all of the warranties and paperwork that come with are the way they should be. If you are purchasing a used boat, ask to see the boat's history and service records. Make sure you understand the warranty limitations, too. When you are having it inspected, be sure that the motor, transmission, frame and electrical are all in proper working order, with no cracks on the bottom.
Do not make the mistake of purchasing a model that is either too expensive for your budget or more than you really need. One such example is a model that has an elaborate kitchen set up. An elaborate kitchen is not usually a benefit for most boat travelers unless you are planning an extended vacation on the boat, or you plan to live on the boat. Many boaters are more likely to picnic rather than cook an elaborate meal. Unfortunately, many will also buy a boat bigger than they really need only to keep up with the neighbors. It will cost you more not only up front, but will also put a burden on your budget.
