I would like to buy a used Bowrider but I don’t know a thing about boats. How should I test drive the boat?
What do I need to look for in the trailer? How should I test it on the water? What manuevers should I do and what to look for?
What should I expect from noise, engine looks and general condition on a test ride? What questions should I ask the owner/ broker about the boat, etc??
Thanks for you help!
David
Ask the owner or broker to take your for a ride. Ask them to show you what it can do. Does the boat perform the way you intend to use it? Hire a yacht surveyor to inspect the boat for you. Use the survey as a bargaining tool to lower the asking price if you still like the boat.
