From NBOA | What to Consider When Shopping for Warranties
Sponsored Content | NBOA Marine Insurance

In today’s economy, many people are opting to stick with their current vessel, investing in needed maintenance when necessary, in lieu of upgrading to a new boat. Although it is the more affordable option, it can still turn into an expensive alternative if your boat ends up with some serious fix ups along the way. Purchasing an additional warranty package is a smart way to ensure your more affordable “alternative choice” STAYS affordable. Even for those of you who are simply trying to avoid budget-breaking boating expenses, additional warranties are the best economical investment these days.

Take It From Zenon | The Right Boat for Your Water

Throughout the USA, glorious waterways abound –– small, tranquil lakes, man-made water-ski lakes and reservoirs, big lakes and rivers, salty estuaries, bays, bayous, and ocean coastline. Along these varied and picturesque bodies of water, cabins, cottages, and lake homes dot the landscape. Cabin life near a waterway makes boating an obvious recreational choice, with the question of what boat style will work best for your waterway. Will you use it in fresh or salt water? In shallow or deep water? Above a sandy or rocky bottom? In smooth or bumpy or ocean-like waves? Choosing a boat to match waterway conditions will prove crucial to your on-water enjoyment.
