How to choose the best boat



Your first boat trip will change your life forever. More than 250,000 boats are sold in the US every year and the number of boat enthusiasts is only growing. Believe me, having your own boat and loading up with family or friends for some fun when the weather is fine is nothing better.

To get the most out of your boat, you first need to know how to choose the option that works best for you. If this is your first purchase, you need to consult with experts and study all the nuances. We tried to outline some basic concepts in this article.

Before you can decide which boat is right for you, you must first determine how you will use it. Choose the watercraft that works best for what you will be doing. Traveling in big water, or fishing in lakes and calm rivers? Will you go water skiing, wakeboarding or towing an inflatable attraction with your friends? Are you fond of scuba diving? Just want to comfortably walk along the water with friends for picnics in a secluded harbor? Or maybe you want a boat that will connect all these activities?

 Let's consider several types of boats.

Pontoon boats get their name from the aluminum "pontoons" on which the deck rests, giving them a distinctive look. They are mainly used for fresh water and harbors because pontoons provide excellent stability but do poorly in rough water. If the stability of the boat and a large open space on the deck are important to you, then a pontoon boat is your option. Every year new models of pontoons appear on the market, their design and comfort level are improving. An excellent boat for a family vacation.

Runabouts are small, stylish and inexpensive boats, usually without a windshield. Designed for those who need a boat to get from one place to another. Not very suitable for water sports, but if you are looking for a nice boat to cruise the lake, relax and sunbathe, they may be the best choice.

Bowriders are open-top speedboats with a comfortable bow cockpit seating area. Suitable for day trips as most of them do not have an overnight stay. Bowriders' main attraction is the comfortable forward seat for passengers. When you sit there, while driving at high speed, it feels like you are flying over water! These boats can also be used for water sports.

Cruisers are the next step in seaworthiness. These boats do not have an open bow cockpit like the bowriders, but they do have a closed cabin, making them suitable for overnight cruises. Used for water sports, travel and water recreation.

RIB - boats with inflatable boards and rigid V-shaped hull. Eito is the most versatile and versatile type of boat that has experienced a rapid growth in popularity over the past decade. RIBs have a stable course on the wave, practically exclude overturning, a high level of comfort and safety. The design of the RIB provides it with maximum stability and increases its carrying capacity.

RIBs are significantly lighter than their solid-body counterparts, which means they are more economical. The low weight makes the RIBs very responsive to steering movements and easy and safe to maneuver. Inflatable cylinders provide convenient mooring, safe loading and unloading of passengers and cargo. These boats are used for diving, fishing, water sports, professional use. RIBs are widely used by rescuers, coastal oran, various special services.

Now that you know why we consider RIBs to be the best, let's get back to the basics of buying a boat. Choosing the right boat size is very important. The larger the vessel, the more functions it will have - water supply, lounge areas, picnic areas, cabins, toilets, navigation equipment. However, some people buy a boat that is too big and then do not want to use it, because it is more difficult to fly than a small one.

We recommend that you do not buy your first boat that is too large, start with something simple, because you can always update it later. It may take you a while to figure out which features are important and not so important.

 Choosing the right engine for your boat and your purpose is also a very important step. If you like to travel alone and fish in silence, then something small and economical will do, maybe even an electric motor. But if you love speed, are going to tow a skier or wakeboarder, take boat trips with friends, then you need a more powerful boat engine.

There are various types of engines that are more suitable for specific purposes, including: outboard gasoline engines, diesel stationary and outboard engines, gas, electric, jet.

The type and power of the outboard motor depends not only on what maximum speed you want to develop, but also on how many people and of the load you want to transport, and on the effective rpm level.

A smaller engine does not always mean it is more efficient - if you push a smaller engine to its limits, it will likely burn more fuel than a larger engine running at lower rpm. It is best to contact a specialist who can help you calculate the optimal engine power for your boat.

Once you begin to understand boats, you will soon be able to board any boat, test the physical components, and evaluate the layout of the boat. An understanding will come to you - what is comfortable accommodation for passengers, an ergonomic control panel, whether there are enough lockers on the boat.

The next step: how the boat behaves on the water during a test drive. Does it run smoothly and stay on course without constant correction? Is it easy to obey the steering wheel? How does the boat handle low speed? How quickly does the boat go into planing mode? How quiet is the motor?

If everything seems to be working well, there is another important thing to check before moving on to buying a boat - the workmanship. With BRIG ribs, any small detail meets the highest quality standards. Handles, fittings - made of high quality stainless steel, strong handrails, locks for lockers, strong windscreens.
