Purchasing a speedboat is an investment that should last for years. Choosing the right one for you and your boating needs is a process that should first start with research as to the different kinds of speedboats that are on the market. Three brands that are good for beginner boaters are Yamaha, Malibu, and Nautique.
If this is your first speedboat, it should be affordable, so you don’t worry about damaging it while you are learning to drive it. It should also be easy to handle and be able to handle a variety of activities so you can discover all you can do with a boat. If you are a veteran on the water, you may want to choose a boat with more amenities.
Yamaha
Yamaha boat for beginners is a great choice for a boater that is just getting started. It is easy to handle and drive, which is important for those that do not have a lot of experience on the water. In addition, Yamaha makes a very reliable boat so it will not need costly repairs or break down and leave you stranded.
A good option is the Yamaha TR-1 boat is 20 percent lighter than the MR-1 that it replaces. It also has a reduced sound level than some of the earlier Yamaha models. It comes with some fun add-ons like a tandem-axle trailer with disk brakes and a snap-in carpet.
Malibu
Malibu is another boat maker that might be a consideration for new boat owners. If your plan is to use the boat for wakeboarding or other sports, Malibu has designed boats with Surf Gate technology which customizes the waves on other sizes of the boat using flat planes to create the wake.
The 23-LSV is Malibu’s best-selling boat towboat because of the ease of handling. “Stern Turn” allows the driver to maneuver into a tight slip of around a rider for a pick-up. With seating for up to 15 passengers, this is a boat that you can spend the entire day on the water with family and friends. Malibu boat performance on the 23 LSV is unparalleled.
Nautique
Nautique boats can be used for water skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing, and wakeskating. Every Nautique boat comes equipped with the Nautique Surf System (NSS) which gives the ability to personalize the waves. If you will be using the boat in saltwater, Nautique has the option to add a Coastal Edition so the boat parts will be protected from corrosion.
The Nautique G25 has it all in terms of boards! It has almost 3,000 pounds of ballast underneath the desk. The Surf System redirects water flow off the hull sides to accommodate every rider. The inside is ready for any wakeboarding or wake surfing activity. And, if you have a big crowd, it can hold up to 19 people.
When you are ready to invest in the boating lifestyle, M2O Marine can help you choose the perfect fit with our full line of Yamahas, Malibus, and Nautiques.
