Summary: Speed boats are bought for their comfort, style, and of course, speed. Learn about buying speed boats versus other boats in this free boating video from a speed boat salesman.
"Some of the differences when you're looking for a speedboat compared to other styles of boats are for instance we sell pontoon boats also. Obviously someone looking for a pontoon boat is going to be a different style of customer than someone looking for a speedboat. A speedboat's more designed for speed, comfort, ride, fifty to sixty mile an hour plus speeds where our pontoons are going to be more for lounging, like you're lounging on your couch watching TV at home going fifteen to twenty-five miles an hour. So those are the kind of the differences of different products and boats out there that compare to speedboats. The looks is a big thing. A lot of people want to have something that looks sporty, looks fast. I mean, just like a guy buying a Porsche or a Corvette. He wants to buy it because it looks and when you have something that looks that way you know it goes fast and you know it has speed behind it. Same thing goes with a speedboat. When someone purchases a speedboat they want to know that that boat is actually going to put some speed behind it. Which is fifty plus miles an hour on the water which is rather fast compared to a kayak or a pontoon or a tugboat or anything like that, obviously they're not designed for speed."
