How To Choose The Best Aquatron Boat Dealer
- by: Jean Jaques

Are you going to buy an Aquatron boat ? Congratulations, Aquatron boats and yachts are renown for their quality and safety. You're certainly going to get a nice boat, but it will be a major investment. My first advice to you: do not be tempted by the first Aquatron boat dealer you come across. You need to keep looking until you find the best deal.

Your dealer is someone with whom you're about to spend a great deal of money and with whom you'll do business with for many years. It pays to check out any prospective before you buy. Here are some tips that will help you in your quest to find the perfect boat dealer.

Is the dealer experimented ?

First, find out how much experience the Aquatron boat dealer have and how long he has been in business. If you find a dealer who has been in business for just one year, forget about it. Keep looking until you find someone who has been in this business for several years. This will help you ensure that you'll always find him if you ever need repairs or service. In addition, dealers that just started will generally provide less services and will have less experience, and there is also the risk that their business will close in a year or two since they aren't established. Keep that in mind to avoid the frustration to have questions or need repairs only to find out that your dealer has suddenly closed his doors.

Ask about the working hours

Secondly, ask about your dealer's business hours. Does he works in weekend and holidays ? It's possible that your Aquatron boat dealer will also service and repair your boat, and you certainly need to know if his business hours are convenient for you, or you'll be assured to never meet him.

Certified or not certified

You should also ensure that your Aquatron boat dealer is certified to service and repair your new marine boat. If not, your repairs may not be guaranteed under the boat's warranty and will cost you a stellar amount of money. In addition, you should find out if you'll be required to pay a deductible for under warranty repairs and the amount of the charges for basic engine service. You should also find out if service mechanics from your Aquatron boating dealer will make service calls. It can be very convenient if you can have your mechanic come to you while you're sipping a tea in your boat.

Ask for advice

Don't forget to ask around about your prospective dealer. If you have friends who own boats, ask who they purchased from. Better, just ask anyone that have an Aquatron boat. Approach gently and ask for recommendations. You'll never be rejected. It's very helpful to ask if there are any satisfied customers who had good experience with any dealer your might want to buy from. A satisfied customer will always be happy to make recommendation. A dissatisfied customer will tell you to avoid his dealer at all cost.

Compare price

Do I need to tell you to compare prices ? An Aquatron sailboat is a very expensive investment no matter how you look at it, but this is not a reason to spend more than you have to. Dealer prices can vary in great ranges, so it does pay to look and ask around. You can spend a few weeks looking around before deciding. Resist the temptation to fail for the first seemingly good enough offer. Continue looking around and you'll generally find a better offer. In addition, diverse dealers will have differing charges for things like service and repair, so it pays to check these prices, too. Some dealers will have interesting price for the boats but then will charge you thousands for repair and service. It's a marketing technique also used by car dealer.

Safety measure

Since it is a recreational activity, most boating is done in calm protected waters and during good weather. The Code of Federal Regulations lists some required equipment, ask your dealer if the sailboat will be equipped with these items :

* backfire arresters on gasoline powered vessels
* ventilation systems on gasoline powered vessels
* plaques which list the penalties associated with pollution due to oil discharge, or dumping trash overboard
* a marine sanitation system (MSD) which prevents water pollution from sewage

Safety should be your first priority when buying your ferry. Just print this article and show it to your dealer if you find it difficult to remember the name of these equipment.

You're going to love having an Aquatron. Whether you buy new or used from your dealer, Aquatrons are great boats that hold their value beautifully and can last a lifetime. Choose your Aquatron boat dealer with care, and you should have smooth sailing for many years.
