3 Reasons You Need to Attend a Boat Show This Year!

ATTENTION ALL BOATING ENTHUSIASTS! Summer 2017 is bringing some of the best boat shows in Missouri you don't want to miss. Whether you already have a boat, are considering buying one, or are just in the market for boat and dock accessories in the Lake of the Ozarks, Summerset Boat Lifts gives 3 great reasons why you need to check out this year's boat shows.

Who Doesn't Want to Save Money?

Boat and accessory dealers have a lot of competition at these shows, so they'll be geared up to provide the best deals they can to get your business. Having multiple dealers in one place allows you to shop smart and be able to talk options and pricing. You'll also save money by being educated on the products so you can make the best purchase for your needs. Boat shows are also a great way to learn about important information such as where to go for boat lift services in the Lake of the Ozarks. Many service providers set up booths at these events too, so it's a great way to shop services you'll need after you buy.

Knowledge is Power

Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned vet when it comes to boats, there's always something new to learn. What better place to get that experience and knowledge than where the boating gurus go? Boat shows aren't just for looking at the pretty boats. They are a great opportunity to see not only the newest and best products out there. They're also a good way to see demonstrations on tricky processes and get hands on education for easier and safer boating basics to make you feel more comfortable on your boat.

Get the Family Involved in Your Hobby!

What better way to introduce your family to your boating hobby than bringing them along to check
out the big boats! Don't worry about finding a sitter. Most vendors know that having kid-friendly exhibits create more opportunity for families to attend. There are free samples, contests, and learning demonstrations for guests to partake in. Your family will thoroughly enjoy checking out the cool boats and getting educated on the hows and whys of boating safety and etiquette.

There are so many great reasons to attend boat shows. Boat shows are great for anyone in the market for a new boat or boat accessories, or for anyone just looking to expand or share their wealth of knowledge in boating. Attending a boat show is the perfect way to see if the boating lifestyle fits you and test the waters, or to expand your network by meeting other people with similar interests. In the market for a new boat lift or have questions about your current lift? Summerset Boat Lifts will be attending some of the upcoming boat shows.

Make Boat Maintenance a Breeze with a Summerset Boat Lift

One of the main benefits of keeping your boat on a boat lift at the Lake of the Ozarks is in regards to maintenance. By keeping your boat up out of the water, you are able to minimize the regular boat maintenance needed. Investing in a boat lift from Summerset Boat Lifts now, will save you money in the long run. Keep reading to learn how boat lifts help make boat maintenance a breeze!

Reduced Boat Maintenance 


When your boat sits in the water for an extended period of time, you could experience hull delamination, intake fouling and more on your boat. By investing in a Lake of the Ozarks Galva-Hoist boat lift, your boat will stay dry and out of the water when not in use. While boats and other watercraft are designed to be used in the water, they weren't designed to be stored in water for long periods of time. Eventually, the water, and contaminants in the water, will effect the integrity of the boat. By raising your boat up on a lift, it will be easier to keep your boat clean. A clean boat bottom will not only reduce the likelihood of frequent painting, but also result in better boat performance and fuel efficiency. Significanlty reduce costly wear and tear on your boat by storing it above the water line with a lift from Summerset Boat Lifts.

Common Boat Maintenance Issues


When you store your boat in the water for long periods of time, a variety of issues can arise. Here are just a few common problems you could encounter:
  • Corroded Outdrive 
  • Bubbled or Blistered Gel Coats 
  • Mussels Attaching to Your Intake 
  • Algae Growth on the Hull 
  • ...and more!

Galva-Hoist Boat Lifts


When it comes to protecting your boat at the Lake of the Ozarks, trust none other than the Galva-Hoist line of floating boat lifts from Summerset Boat Lifts! Galva-Hoist is engineered at the Lake for the Lake, Lake of the Ozarks. They are extremely capable of withstanding the roughest waters here at the Lake.

Things to Keep in Mind While Attending the 2017 Boat Shows

Boat show season is upon us. This is the time of year when you can get the best deals on boats, boat lifts, and other boating accessories. Make the most of your time at these events by keeping these boat show tips from Summerset Boat Lifts in mind.

Attending a Boat Show


Whether you're in the market for a new boat or just interested in browsing what's new for 2017, attending a boat show can be a fun way to spend your day. Grab your family or get your buddies together for a good time. Boat shows often include much more than just boats; vendors from a variety of companies will be there with demonstrations, presentations and more. You're sure to find something to keep you entertained!

Boat Show Tips


If you are actually in the market for a new boat, there are some things to keep in mind as you're making your way through the exhibits at this year's boat shows. Here are a few of our top tips:
  1. Do Your Homework - Before stepping foot into the boat show, do some research. You want to have some idea of what you're looking for or you can get easily overwhelmed. Make a list of questions that you want to ask the dealers. Be sure to have a budget in mind before you start your search as well. 
  2. Think About Financing - If you're serious about buying a boat, it's important that you have an idea of how you will pay for it. While some people may have the cash to buy a boat, most will need to get financing secured. You might want to consider getting a pre-approval before you attend any boat shows. By doing so, you'll better be able to set a budget for how much you can afford - and you won't be tempted to fall in love with a boat out of your price range. 
  3. Check Out the Show Guide - Many boat shows will have a list of all their exhibitors and vendors available prior to the show. Take a look at those and make a list of who's booths you want to be sure to stop by. With so much going on at these events, you can easily get distracted and miss something you wanted to check out. 
  4. Talk with the Dealers - Rather than just checking out the exhibits yourself, be sure to talk with the dealers. Ask the list of questions you prepared ahead of time. Not only are you looking for the best values in boating, you want to make sure you're working with a reputable and knowledgeable dealer. Customer service is very important when it comes to such a big investment as a boat.
