After you’ve read our article, come visit us at our location in Pasadena, Maryland to browse our large inventory of center console boats. 

Consider Size

Size is one of the most important factors to consider when buying a boat. The larger your center console boat the more stable it will be in rough waters and the more features it’s likely to include. However, the larger your ship the more difficult it may be to steer (depending on your experience level). It will also come with a much higher sticker price. 

Consider Features

While a larger ship will often have more included features due to increased space it’s pretty easy to find the amenities you’re needing, even on a smaller ship. Before you start shopping for your boat be sure to consider where and how you’ll be using it. This should give you some insight into necessary features you may need, such as a T-top or extra storage space. 

Consider Budget

Because there is so much variety among center console boats it’s possible to find one of these ships in every budget category. However, the less you spend on your new boat the smaller it will be. Included amenities will also be few to none. Before you select your model off the lot consider looking at used models, financing options, and even add-on features. Customizing your ship with your preferred amenities may save you a bit of money in the long run.
