    If you were to buy a new boat, where would you turn first in order to research that product? For items such as pictures, spec's, performance and options of a custom boat builder.



    1.) Dealers Website
    2.) Manufacturers Website
    3.) Local Dealer
    4.) Magazine
    5.) Search Internet or Public Forum


    Sorry I should of put buyers and owners in subject line.

    There should be a button for all 5. Alot of research goes into buying a boat,so I would look up every choice.

    Oh if you only knew....

    See you been to our web page huh...looks can be deceiving, always a motive! j/j

    Just so no one gets the wrong idea, this has nothing to do with the dealership.

    Curious thats all!

    Just trying to get an idea on where everyone would first start out, I would assume all options would be explored

    TALKING TO OWNERS AND PREVIOUS OWNERS IS ALSO A GOOD SOURCE OF INFO MOST PEOPLE WILL GIVE AN HONEST OPINION ON THEIR BOAT OR ONE THEY HAVE GOTTEN AWAY FROM. ALSO SURVEYORS THEY USUALLY GET TO PICK SEVERAL BRANDS OF BOATS APART GREAT SOURCE.

    Where I start is seeing something on the water that really catches my eye... I explore them in depth with people that actually have them. Forums like those here are an excellent medium for that. I try to get on one and work with it in different conditions before drawing any real conclusions.

    Anymore, I google everything and search everything on the internet first! I am an impulse buyer so the in person thing is a bad idea for me!

    I would check the mfg. site first, then start talking to people that own or have been on the boats.
