HOW TO BUY A BOAT

This Detailed And Specific
Step-By-Step Guide Comes With Dozens Of Money And Reputation Saving Techniques on How to Buy a Boat

From: Doug Dawson
Author of: Buy a Boat with Confidence and Save Money

Dear Boater,Doug Dawson with Grandaughter Kelly at the helm

At the risk of you not reading to the bottom of this letter, I need to tell you that "Most boaters (new and experienced) don't know how to buy a boat." Afterall, being an expert boater and an expert boat-buyer are two entirely different things.

I've been in the boat business literally my whole life (here are some of my credentials) and have seen far too many boaters embarrass themselves buying the wrong boat or paying way too much for it. (Or both!)

This is why I've decided to turn the tables and share my lifetime of boat buying and boat selling know-how so that you are armed with the know-how to buy the very best boat you can for the very best price.

The Jealously Guarded Secrets Of
Boat Buying Are Now Yours--Guaranteed!

"In Fact, You WILL Learn At Least One Thing That Is Way More Valuable Than The Price Of This Book In 30 Days, Or I'll Refund Every Penny You Paid And Even Let You Keep 4 Valuable Bonuses Just For Checking It Out— Guaranteed!"

 

 

Doug & Brenda,

I thank you once again, for a truly wonderful source of information for a 1st time buyer like myself and my wife.

When I first talked to Doug about purchasing "Buy a Boat With Confidence, and the extra bonus package, I thought it was a bit steep. But, after reading only 30 or so pages, I realized that you have already saved me a lot more money than I ever could have imagined.

Ironically, I did all the items mentioned by you guys not to do, as running to closest marina etc, and I am so glad I purchased this gem of a book. I really don't know how to thank you enough. It's as though you knew what I have been doing for the last 3 weeks or so.....all the wrong aproaches.

Thanks again for a gold mine of knowledge on how to, and especially, what kind of boat to purchase.

-- Keith Swartman, Ottawa ON

 

"Doug has been my senior boat tester since the
mid 80's. Two of his strongest characteristics are his honesty and integrity and ... I can't believe how much knowledge Doug has about boats... I highly recommend all boat buyers read his new book..."

-- Bill Taylor
Publisher, Power Boating Canada Magazine

Tips And Tricks You Need To Know...(From The Guy Who's Done Over 12,000 Boat Evaluations)

"As I get into your book (Buy A Boat With Confidence), it is helping me to re-evaluate our needs or as you call it FITS. Your story about Sam was just like me when I started out looking for our second boat and realized that we could only spend half our budget on the boat and the other half on all the other stuff you need. Luckily we weren't in as deep as Sam when we realized. Thanks again to take the time to make the boat suggestions."

—Paul Jessop, Toronto

"I wish we had this book 35 years ago when I bought my first cruiser. I could have avoided several pitfalls in the process.
A must read for every first time or subsequent boat buyer."

-- George & Sheilah van Nostrand
(contributors to cruising guides & boating magazines)

 

"Doug, with the help of your book, we have a tentative deal on the Egg Harbor in MI. Our offer was accepted last week. The deal is contingent on a survey to be conducted next Wednesday and a sea trial some time when the weather breaks. We added financial approval as a condition as suggested in your book. We don't expect any credit problems, like we had several years ago financing our 1961 Chris Craft because of it's age. Your book reminded me of that. You never know what objections you may encounter.
I appreciate your interest... and if this works out I'll take you up on your offer of any historical information you may have on this boat. If it becomes ours, I'll want to learn everything I can about it. I'm "reading up" now in preparation next week's survey. You can bet I'll be there for every minute of it. Thanks,

-- Mark, OH

"Just to let you know that I am now the owner of a Mirage 25 and the purchase went very well. We still have to confirm with sea trials but the surveyor said the boat was in better than average condition and well cared for and with newer motor and sails there shouldn't be any surprises.

Thanks for all your advice. Cheers."

-- Paul, ON

Tap Into The Same Information
That Is Saving Readers 1,000's of Dollars

  • I usually get paid hundreds of dollars for my time.
  • Recently, I stopped someone from making a terrible decision on a boat, saving them 10's of thousands of dollars and months of aggravation.
  • I helped one couple save over $50,000 with just one of the techniques in this book.
  • On several occasions, using one of the techniques in this book, I've helped couples save over $3,000 with no resistance when it came time to negotiate final price. 

"A $100,000 repair bill and 2 years of stress could have been avoided had I read Doug's book. I now realize that all marine surveyors and boat brokers are NOT all equal and are NOT all competent. My advice: buy the book, do your homework, be an informed buyer."

Frankly, I thought long and hard about selling this invaluable information as part of a high-priced seminar or personal consultation where I charged at least $395 per person. And people would get many times that amount back in savings and enjoyment. But instead of going to all the trouble of arranging a room, confirming attendance and taking time out of my personal schedule—I settled on an eBook as a perfect and convenient way to deliver this information (for you and me).

"Thank you for the e-lesson on boat tying. I have printed it off for reading and re-reading. I enjoyed Doug's talk about tips on buying a boat at the seminar in Port Credit.
My secret is that I'm actually at the stage just now where I'm both buying a new sailboat and selling (trying to) my present sailboat. With any luck over the next few months, I'll experience the two greatest thrills on a boater's life: the day he buys his boat and the day he sells his boat! I bet you've heard those lines before.
Getting Doug's tips on buying, therefore, had a double value for me."

-- Bruce, ON

 

"Hi Doug, I bought your books and used them, I learned a lot. I did all the steps as you said, even the trial sail.

Everything went well, but it all took a long time. I rented a slip where I live, got insurance, borrowed from the credit union, paid 50% cash, and everything went well. Had a professional Marine Surveyor --very good man. I thank you for your knowledge and advice.
--Jim, SC
