Ever since I was a child I have loved not only swimming at the lake and building sand castles, but I have always loved boating. I remember when I was young going on my aunt and uncle’s friends boat. I remember loving going fast and the wind blowing fast in my face. Back then I told myself that I was going to have a boat too when I was older like my aunt and uncle’s friend.
This summer we don’t have a boat, but maybe looking at buying new and used boats for sale. We have had various boats over the years that always provided a ton of fun for our family. For some of us, we like the boats that go FAST….
(Our old boat we had a few years ago. Too fast for me!)
Even though I like the boats that go fast and make my hair fly back, I have children and would love to have more of a family boat that we can use to cruise the lake as well as maybe take up wakeboarding. My son is getting older and I would love to be able to see him wakeboard on the lake like some of my friend’s children do. As for my daughters, they prefer to use one of those water discs that they can lay and hold on to rather than wakeboard which requires balance.
For those with a passion for boating like me, I would encourage you to visit the DiscoverBoating website. They have some very cool features for those of you that not only are looking to buy a boat, but for those that are already boat owners as well. Here are some of the features and tools you might want to take advantage of:
- Boat Selector Tool: A great way to understand the different types and sizes of boats available:
- Try Before You Buy: Research ways to get out on the water without owning:
- Cost Comparison Tool: Compare the cost of boating over other leisure activities
- Just for Kids: Fun games and activities for kids to learn more about boating:
- Marina and Ramp Locator: Find a local marina or boat ramp close to your home:
- Facebook Movie Maker App: Bring boating to life through personal photos made into your very own short movie
If you are really interested in boating, the DiscoverBoating website has a FREE “Get Started In Boating DVD” that you might want to sign up for. For more information, visit: https://discoverboating.com.

We don’t have a boat and I don’t think I could ever get my husband to buy one. He’s not really one for spending all day out on the water.
