Boat Shows, Boat Dealers, & Online Search |
a continuation from Pontoon Tie Up……. |
Now that you've had a few epic weekends on the water and the summer sun cooked the idea into your head about how you NEED to buy a pontoon.... its time to put this plan in motion! We all know these thoughts and the challenge that lies ahead. Although do we really think it is a challenge - of course not....Pontoon, Sunshine, and Cold Drinks is not work! |
What do we all do when we start this process of buying or upgrading to a New Pontoon? Online Search. Talk about adding fuel to the fire. Online search can whisk you away for hours at a time dreaming about how your family would look in that pontoon. Triple Pontoon Boats with 350 Horsepower, Double Deckers with Slides, and BARS. They even have bars now! I am getting off task even writing this thinking about blender drinks on my pontoon bar! |
Let's bring you back to reality, which is that days, weeks, or even months worth of time are spent online. Your significant other knows you are thinking about doing something and asks what is with all the time spent on pontoons? The First Pitch. Ever since we had such a great summer hanging on the lake with our friends I have been thinking about a new pontoon. We all know this conversation. Hopefully it goes well! |
Several conversations later and online daydreaming about being on the water with a new pontoon finally gets your family to the BOAT SHOW! The boat show is a wonderful place to put your online search into reality. Triple Pontoon Boats with 350 Horsepower, Double Deckers with Slides, and BARS. Sound familiar? Oh yes, online just became reality and so did the price tags. Talk about someone popping your balloon! This is when you have got to rally, pull the family together, and focus - or those frozen blender drinks on the pontoon are going to melt away like the afternoon sun. |
Hours later you finally narrowed your search down to 3 pontoons at 3 different dealers. The kids are starting to get restless and you've spent a small fortune on hot dogs, nachos, and soft drinks. You want to make a decision because the boat show rebates are for a limited time and I can finally see that frozen blender drink on my pontoon! Don't loose focus I gotta negotiate I tell myself. Another trip around the lake we called it, sitting on the pontoons we had narrowed down to. The dealers are starting to really pour on the charm and my pocket book is ready to start on fire. The one with the rear lounger is perfect for sunbathing while the kids swim my wife says wistfully. Bam! She's made the final decision. We pull the trigger on our first ever pontoon!!! |
