Earlier, in another article we talked about how terrible the economy is and how it has impacted the fishing and boating industries. That is half of the story, but not everyone is effected when we have a sour economy.
What if you still have that good job and still making that great salary ... or perhaps you were fortunate enough to bank a nice nest egg before the economy went down. And now you want to get into boating ........! !
Wow, you picked a really great time. The old saying buy when they are cheap and sell when the price is high could never be more appropriate. The price of boats is really attractive for buyers right now ..... and won't be turning around for at least a while.
If making a purchase is in your thinking then you will need to decide where you will keep the boat, save some money for things like bottom cleaning, dockage, fuel, insurance, safety equipment. You know, all of those responsible and necessary items.
So, if you are ready Here are my suggestions:
1. Take your time .... there is really no hurry ... shop around. There are a lot of boats out there to look at, and most of them have anxious sellers/owners right now.
2. Make a decision and stick with it. After you have decided the kind, model, year, size, color, etc.... stick with it as jumping around and changing your mind only causes you to lose control of the buying situation.
3. Don't get sidetracked by all of the choices. Shop only for that boat that you have decided on. You don't want to lost control of the situation.
4. You must now make the decision as to how you will pay for it. Will it be owner financing (which is very attractive) or banks/commercial lenders. The lower interest rates, great terms, ease of lending, and that plain old comfortable dealing provided by owner financing will make it the winner in most cases.
5. Now you must select the down payment you want to make, the interest rate that suits you, and the terms you would like.
6. Search out 5 or 6 boats (easy to do right now) that you really like and simply call, mail, or email the owner. Explain to the owner the whole enchilada, you know, the terms, price and conditions.
Ya Know what ? I bet at least one of them will contact you and tell you to mark it SOLD !
Normally this would not be quite so easy, but these are not normal times. All that it takes is for a willing buyer to meet with a willing seller.
Right now you are in the catbird seat. That is what my granddaddy used to say, and you can name your tune.
This is probably not the opportunity to be crazy, but with a polite attitude and a little common sense I would bet the farm that a real bargain is out there waiting for you.
What are you waiting for? So get excited and go get it !
