Boating Secrets Revealed :Choosing The Best Boat

If you’ve never really done any boating then get your boat-owning friends – or friends of friends – to take you out on their boats. Boaters love to be on the water, and they love to talk about their boats. Offer to bring lunch and provide the beer; you should get plenty of invitations. Ask the owners why they decided to buy that particular boat, what they like and don’t like about it, and how they use their boat: Weekends? Day sail only? Racing? Cruising? A boat that is great for racing may not be very comfortable for a long weekend on the water.
