If you are new to boating, finding a boat that makes sense can be overwhelming. With so many boats out there, it’s hard to know what is the best choice – as well as if you can even afford one. Many first-time boat buyers have a misconception that boating is not affordable, however, with the Nautical Ventures financing option, buying a boat can be just like buying a car and in many cases, just as affordable.

Best Value Boats

The Glastron brand is one of these kinds of boats. With entry level models priced at an average cost of $30,000, Glastron boats offer a wide variety of features that some more expensive brands don’t include. In comparison to other deck boats, such as Pontoon’s which can exceed up to $100,000 in price, Glastron boats have 12 characteristics of deck boats, vs. Pontoon’s which only have 5, out of the 15 measurable points used in the study.

Not only do Glastron boats outperform Pontoon’s in their category by their performance and drive, but they are also wildly affordable. To put into perspective, a $29,995 Glastron GT 180 model will costs you $199/mo. That’s about the same price for most average cars on the market today. So, if you’re new to the world of boating and need something that is good but also affordable, Glastron is the way to go.
