Antonietti's Guide To Buying a Boat

A boat is a great way to make the most of summertime fun. Use it to explore private islands, visit lively sandbars, and fine tune your angler skills. But before you can enjoy these adventures, you'll need to purchase a boat. Below we cover some key aspects to consider as you shop models. When you are ready to check out boats for sale, visit Antonietti Marine. Our dealerships are located in Hudson, Riverview and Englewood Florida and we serve almost the entire gulf coast!

What Size Do You Want?

A great place to start is thinking about how large you want your boat to be. First, consider how many people you hope to host on board. Maybe you only need to fit yourself and one other passenger for a fishing trip. You can save money by getting a more compact model. Maybe you hope to host large social gatherings with your friends, so you get a model with plenty of seating.

Second, consider where you will take your boat. If you'll be cruising around in calm waters, then you can get by with a smaller vessel. But if you'll be venturing out into deep and rough waters, you will need a model that is large enough to stay stable among the choppy waves.

What Hull Shape Do You Want?

Another factor to consider is the hull shape, which affects the type of water the boat can handle. Wide and flat hulls are well-suited for shallow waters. They can push over obstacles often found in these areas, such as fallen logs or large boulders. V-shaped hulls are well-suited for pushing through difficult and deep waters with ease. M-hull design boats offer a very stable platform with great small to medium chop capabilities. Think about the conditions you'll encounter and make sure your hull shape is compatible.

How Do You Want to Use Your Boat?

Different boats can offer specs and features to make them tailored to certain activities. If you want to entertain large groups of people, make sure you get something with enough seating and space. If you hope to go fishing, look for features such as a livewell and rod holders. If you want to tow water sports enthusiasts, make sure the model can create the right kind of wake.
