If you know a reliable boat and motors dealer, whether it’s an independent salesman or a certified dealership, do let your friends know about their various boats for sale. You might know someone who’s just itching to get into the boating community but is discouraged by the expensive boat prices. It’s not an easy hobby to get into, after all – it’s a lifelong responsibility. However, the boating industry is always ready to welcome boaters with open arms.

If you know a friend who would like to get into the boating community, give them all the support you need. Plus, you’ll have someone to boat with, and that’s always a bonus, especially since boating with a bunch of your mates enhances your excursions.

The first problem of an aspiring boater is what kind of boat to buy. And this question takes many variables into account such as price,reliability, specs, boat types, and many other things that even experienced boaters worry about. If you’re knowledgeable in boats, make sure to guide them on the kind of vessel they should buy. You could walk them through various listings online and find a reputable brand that’s a great choice to buy boats from. For example, Quintrex boats are one of the most well-known boat brands in Australia, so it’s natural to want to purchase boats from them. Take your friend to a boat dealership where they have Quintrex boats for sale and browse the merchandise there. Recommend some beginner-friendly boats that they might like and that are within their price range.

Buying a boat for the first time is going to be an intimidating yet exciting experience for a starting boater. So, make sure to be a good friend and guide them through the whole process of purchasing a boat.

Once your friend bought the boat of their dreams, it’s time to obtain the necessary boat accessories. If for example, he bought a Quintrex vessel, it’s time to obtain Quintrex parts and accessories as well. It’s important that they all come from the same brand. A boat trailer is also essential, as this is the only way for them to transport their vessel through the land.

The next step is to orient your friend on the basics of boating. You can recommend your friend to an experienced boat instructor that you know. If you’re the most experienced person available, you can take on the responsibility of teaching them (with a fee of course!). Driving a boat is easy, and your friend may learn it in a few days. However, boat cleaning, maintenance, and repair may take a few months of experience. Boat trailering, launch and retrieval are particularly hard tasks that boaters need to master. Make sure to walk them through the whole process and give them tips on how to become a better boater.

Be sure to introduce the new boater to your other friends in the boating industry. We’re a wholesome community, after all. Maybe you could arrange a welcoming party. Having a new boater in the community calls for a celebration.
