A used boat can look amazing when it’s docked, but you never know how it performs, so you’ll want to take it out for a test drive. You need to get a feel for how the boat runs and handles different conditions. Check to see how it functions at different speeds, when idling, and test the brakes. Watch out for any unusual delays, odd sounds, or abnormal vibrations. If everything runs well and the boat is within your budget, you might’ve just found a winner!
