How to Buy a Boat Tactics for ensuring a successful purchase. You've spotted the boat of your dreams at a boatshow, boat shop, fishing show(or was it in your neighbor's driveway?) and you're ready to buy. Before you plunk down a sizeable amount of change, there are a number of factors you should consider. First, you'll need to determine the type of boating you will be doing. This may seem an obvious starting point, but you'd be surprised how many buyers purchase a boat that doesn't fit their needs. The type of water you will be boating on and the climate are other important considerations. Small, sheltered bodies of water don't require a boat with as much freeboard and deadrise as those used on larger bodies of water where you will encounter bigger waves and rougher conditions.

In warmer climates an open boat with a Bimini top for shade may be the better choice.
