IF YOU HAVEN’T USED THE BOAT, YOU HAVEN’T TESTED IT.  This is critical.

 

A proper demo does not happen in a parking lot.

​

A real surf boat demo should include:

• Ballast filled

• Real surf speeds

• Time behind the wheel

• Time behind the boat

• Questions encouraged — not rushed

​

A real pontoon demo should include:

• Loaded with people

• Real cruise speeds

• Docking

• Chop handling

• Layout flow

 

Boats behave very differently on the water than they look on land.
Handling, visibility, ride comfort, and ease of operation all matter — especially for families new to boating.

 

If a dealer resists an on-water demo, ask yourself why.
