Best Time To Buy
Because we are able to combine the Early Buy Promotion with the Boat Show Promotion Deals, buyers that purchase during the fall will receive the absolute lowest price of the season guaranteed. Those purchasing in-stock inventory can hit the water immediately with your new 2024.
Valid Thru 12/23/23
Better Time Than Spring
While the Early Buy Promotion is off the table, boaters that purchase during boat show season still have an opportunity to save on their 2024 model. Plus, a limited amount of production slots are available for those interested in a custom order.
Valid Thru Boat Show Season
Good Time To Purchase
Boaters that wait until the spring to purchase are subject to receiving limited discounts from in stock inventory only.
Valid Thru Summer
What’s the best time of year to buy?
The short answer is fall and here’s why: Boat manufacturers employ hundreds of workers to handcraft each and every boat. In order to streamline production, raw material purchasing, and employ their skilled craftsmen throughout all 12 months of the year, manufacturers must offer the largest discounts in the fall to stimulate sales when demand is at its lowest. Fall is without-a-doubt the best time in the model year to purchase a new boat; even better than the boat show!

How much can I save by purchasing in the fall?
Manufacturers offer an early buy rebate of up to $10,000* and boat show rebates of up to $5,000* to encourage preseason buyers. During the fall buying season, we are able to combine both rebates for buyers as well as offer a guarantee that fall prices will be the lowest price of the 2024 model year.
*Incentives Vary By Model
Does buying a boat in the fall affect my trade-in value?
Buyers that purchase in the fall receive a higher trade-in value than those who wait until the spring or the summer of 2024 when the boat is another calendar year older. Additionally, depending on your boat’s model year, trading in your current boat gives you a fresh new warranty on your new boat ensuring a hassle-free experience every time.

What other benefits do I get from buying in the fall?
If the idea of purchasing a predesigned, in-stock model just doesn’t cut it for you, then buying in the fall is the only way to guarantee your customized boat will be ready to hit the water when you are. Plus, for 2024, manufacturers are offering less production slots than in years past. Fall boat buyers are able to customize their boat colors and options, and create a boat that matches their family’s style. If you wait until boat show season, orders can get backed up until spring or even early summer.
