Top 10 Reasons to Buy a Bigger Boat

Think the boat you're considering is big enough? Think again.
 
Reason # 8. Cure “Foot-itus”
 
As a smart boat buyer, you have to face two simple facts: First of all, boats are like cars in that they lose a lot of value as soon as you “drive off the lot”. Second, no matter how big of a boat you buy, soon after your first cruise you will immediately start planning to buy an even bigger boat. That's just what boaters do.
Read more about the serious condition of "Foot-itus", also commonly referred to as "Two-foot-itus", which gives boaters an uncontrollable urge to continuously buy larger vessels, at BoatU.S.)
These factors - the cost of buying a boat, losing a bunch of money on it, and then suffering from Foot-itus and buying the bigger boat later - will cost you a lot more than if you had simply bought the bigger boat now. Buying the bigger boat now may also quell your desire to trade up to an even bigger boat (at least temporarily!)
