Looking For the Right Boat


The sunny, warm ocean waters around Florida are often filled with boaters of all stripes. People take their boats out for pleasure cruising with friends, participating in watersports, fishing and as transport between marinas. If you’re looking to acquire a boat of your own, you’ll want to take a few different factors into consideration to help you make a decision. Polaris® of Gainesville in Alachua is here to explain what you’ll want to look for when shopping for boats for sale.


What Size Do You Need?


If you’re looking to buy a boat, then you’ll want to figure out how big a boat you need first. Boats come in a variety of sizes, with some meant for only one or two people and others capable of handling upwards of a dozen passengers at a time. More people on board will often require more space for their belongings, too. The type of water you plan to boat in will also affect the size of the boat and the shape of the hull you should get. A wide, flat hull will do well in shallow waters, able to draft over obstacles without running aground. However, choppier seas will require a more V-shaped hull to cut through deep waters. You should be able to find crafts in all sizes that have either flat or V-shaped hulls to suit the kind of conditions you’re likely to encounter.




What Do You Want To Do?


The types of activities you want to do on your boat will help you further narrow down your choices. For example, a small aluminum boat is great for fishing with a friend in a calm lake, it wouldn’t work well in the open ocean. Taking the family or a large group of friends out for a cruise will necessitate a bigger boat with plenty of seating space and additional features like a head (toilet) or a galley (kitchen), so a pontoon or a yacht might be what you seek instead. If you or your friends want to water ski or wakeboard, then you’ll need a boat capable of towing watersports riders and generating wakes. Think about what you most want to do with your boat, then look at models that are made for those purposes.

There is no better feeling than being out on the water, enjoying the wind, the sun, and the fresh air as you go for a cruise or stop to cast out your line. We know that boating is more than just a hobby, it's a family experience and a lifestyle. That's why we pride ourselves in carrying an incredible selection of boats to choose from. Whether you're looking for speed, comfort, or the best boat to fish from, we are sure to have something that's just right for you and your needs. With a boat like the Sun Tracker Bass Buggy® 16, you get a spacious and comfortable boating experience, and with its electric outboard you can still boat on horsepower-restricted lakes or in places where fuel isn't accessible. And with its 9-gallon livewell you'll have plenty of room to store bait or any fish you catch.

If fishing is the only thing you're interested in though, the Nitro Z18 was designed and built to offer a top-of-the-line experience. With a flush-mounted Lowrance® HOOK-5x fishfinder, a 62 quart insulated cooler, and a 34 square foot deck for casting mobility, the Nitro Z18 is the ultimate no-nonsense fishing boat designed for hitting the water, getting your line in, and being comfortable while you do it. No matter what kind of boat you need, our staff will be happy to help you find it.
