That's why today, your favorite boat dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks would like to share some tips with you on how to stay focused and make the most out of the boat show you are going to.


Find The Right Show

There are many boat shows happening all around the Midwest. Major cities are popular places to find them, of course, you can always ask your boat dealer where they will be attending. Surdyke Yamaha will be at many of the popular boat shows, and we'll be ready to answer your questions and help you find the boat of your dreams. Surdyke Yamaha plans to attend several boats shows this you and we hope to see you at a few of them! This year, you'll find us at:

Feb 7-10 St.Louis Boat Show (America's Center & The Dome
Mar 8-11 St.Charles Boat Show (St.Charles Convention Center)

Make A Plan

When you attend a boat show, one of the best things you can do is establish a plan. If you want to purchase a new boat, you can do research ahead of time. Knowing what models you're interested in, and which features you want, can help keep you focused when you're wandering down aisles that are filled with shiny boats. Make sure you also make a list of questions that you have for dealers, it's easy to forget what you had originally wanted to know when you don't write it down.

Calculate Your Budget

It's easy to be swept into the sea of fabulous boats and their beautiful features. If you don't plan a budget ahead of time, you could fall in love with a beautiful yacht that is completely out of your price range. When planning your budget, make sure that it will include all of the accessories that you want to add to your boat, and not just the cost of the boat itself.


See You At The Boat Show! 

We hope to see at one of the boat shows coming up at Kansas City or St.Louis! There will be a lot of beautiful boats to look at and having a plan before you arrive is the best way to make the most out of your trip. When you're looking for a Lake of the Ozarks boat dealer who will help you every step of the way, Surdyke Yamaha is here for you.
