LOCAL ADVANTAGE
You can also look for new boats at dealers outside your region. However, once you find one, it might be better to work through a local dealer, Hickey says. “Everglades feels strongly that the best experience will be with a dealer in your area,” he explains. “Our dealers will work with other dealers outside their territories to get the boat transferred, if it is available.”
This helps ensure that service after the sale is convenient and closer for the buyer. “You can buy from a dealer outside your region, but we have found that the boat-buying and service experience is just not the same as when you work with the local dealer,” Hickey says.
