When’s the last time you took the time to consider what
makes one boat sealant better than another?Boat sealant, after all, tends to be inexpensive. It
doesn’t cost a lot to keep boat sealant handy—and as a consequence, many boat
owners simply buy the first boat sealant they come across. But there are a lot
of characteristics that can […]

There’s nothing like a brand-new boat. The vibrant colors,
the fresh gleam off of the fiberglass, the way the interior is spotless. Some
boat owners even swear by a “new boat smell” that’s impossible to preserve
throughout the life of their boat. It’s one of life’s special moments to take a
brand new boat out on the water for […]

You have a new boat, and like most boat owners, you want to
make sure that your boat maintains that “new” quality for as long as possible.
But how do you accomplish that feat without constant maintenance, or running
back and forth to the store for the right boat cleaning and maintenance
products?Simple: you prepare. You get the right […]

Ask someone who’s purchased a boat before, and they’ll
likely tell you: boats are not investments. Boats require tremendous amounts of time and energy, and
are the best and sometimes only way to enjoy the water…but as investments? Most
casual investors will want to stick to mutual funds.But this doesn’t mean every boat is a complete money pit,
either. […]

The dog days of summer have arrived, and for many boaters
that means it’s a last-chance opportunity to get some quality boating time in
before Labor Day. Unfortunately, Mother Nature doesn’t always seem so keen on
the idea. With the hottest days of summer come plenty of damaging sun, an
increased risk of heat stroke, and a variety of […]

We know, we know: if you’ve already bought a boat, chances
are that you enjoy the water enough that you already know a few things about
fishing. But you’d be surprised at how many people go into fishing with a blind
eye, simply bringing out some rods and some basic baits, never putting any
thought into how you’re going […]

There’s nothing that puts a damper in a party quite like
running out of something that you desperately need. For some, that means
running out of music. For others, it means running out of drinks.But when you’re not quite having a party but rather a
boating excursion, your needs change drastically. Running out of drinking
water, for example, can […]

We’ve all been there. One minute you’re laughing it up, having
a great time out under the sun…and the next you’re nearly keeled over in
skin-burning agony thanks to your lack of prudence in the “sunburn protection”
department.Boaters, by their very nature, are predisposed to this very
problem – especially in summer weather. If you want to enjoy the […]

Habits help define who we are. Unfortunately, both our good
and our bad habits have a lot to say about the kinds of lives we lead—and when
it comes to boating, those bad habits can come back to bite you.That should never be the case. Good, safe habits in boating
won’t only help you to adhere to all […]

Fish, water ski, rinse, repeat.For many boat owners, that’s “summer.” And that’s absolutely
fine, if those are the boating excursions you treasure most—but for some
people, it’s much more fun to think outside the box. And since it’s summertime,
there’s no better moment to consider some other ways you can get the most value
out of your boat while […]
