stingray boats
My husband wants to buy a boat...?
We live in Chicago and he loves the lake. The problem is that he has never boated before and knows very little about it. Everyone keeps telling me that boats are $ pit's. What are your feeling's? I feel like it's not a good time to buy something that guzzles gas! He is looking at a 28ft stingray.
When most people say boats are money pits they usually aren't boat owners them selves. True boat owners who (this is important) love boating accept the maintence costs as part of the deal. Boating is a hobby that has costs, only one of which is buying the boat in the first place. A 28' boat will be a significant investment and it CAN maintain most of it's value IF it's maintained. Stingray is a good mid-priced boat. Other comparable makes are: Maxum, Ebbtide, Larson, Regal and to some extent Rinker. If you'd like to pay more or get a slightly smaller boat but one that will have more features and nicer details I'd suggest: Crownline, Four Winns, Monterey, and Sea Ray. 28' is a big boat and for a first timer that's a hand full. It can be done but patience must be in full supply so that no one move is rushed and transformed into a dangerous situation or a costly repair. For a first timer I'd pick a price point, cut 5-8% off that (for maintence), and start looking for a 3-7 year old boat. See what you can get. I strongly suggest getting a boat that is fuel injected. This will save in maintence and it will be a more enjoyable experience as it will start all the time. I could type for another hour but I shouldn't so... Good luck, do your homework, and find the boat with the level of options and the layout that you like the most. Remember what you'll be doing with a boat when you're looking at interiors.
Also, you will find that boat owners are some of the happiest and nicest people around. I forgot to address the gas issue; you don't always have to burn that gas. Some of the most relaxing and fun days I've had on my boat were either anchored in some cove or just tied up at my dock. In which case I burned no gas at all.
