The January Toronto Boat Show bowrider wars are upon us shortly!  Displays are designed, stock ordered and salespeople practicing their tactics!  Although it is called the Toronto Boat Show....it is not a show for participating dealers....we are there to sell boats in the dead of winter!

If you are prepared to buy just what the local dealer offers on your lake...stop reading and you get good or bad what they are offering as a trade-off on potentially easier service and storage.  If you are looking for best bang for your buck....read on!

The term to consider is value versus cost.   Everyone talks about this....say this is what they truly want...but how come too many decisions are based strictly on overall look?

At the Toronto Boat Show every single boat salesperson is going to stand on top of their boat and say it is great quality and best in class.  No surprise here and we were expecting them to say that we actually skimp or have issues with this part of our construction or Brand X is better than our? 

Okay......how can a buyer take the salesperson out of the equation and feel confident that they are actually receiving the best quality for the money?  That's a really good question and would there be some magical place to get the information required? 

Lets Look at Warranty

Every boat manufacturer know exactly what their warranty claims are based on age of the boat.  The cost of warranty service is built into the price of the boat.   Four Winns for example a number of years ago told me that they built-in 3% into the cost structure.  I have had many conversations over the years with various boat builder about warranty period and why they are what they are.   It always comes down to expected claim levels as the boat ages.  So it would follow that if Brand X's boat is really built with superior materials and construction technology.....they should be able to offer the best warranty for protection of the buyer....right?

Warranty Comparison Posted November 2016

What stands out here?   Crownline put this out and in the United States this better be right or you will end in court!  What stands out here and should be considered?

• Poorest overall construction warranty is provided by Chaparral Boats. 
• Second worst is Regal due to their only one year of protection on stringers and transom assembles.
• Cobalt the most expensive of the bunch comes third.....interesting as they can be significantly more to purchase.
• Crownline has a very slight edge over Monterey only in the area of upholstery.
• Crownline and SeaRay match on construction warranty and therefore with the provided length of coverage as considered best in class.

Who is the clear winner based on warranty coverage alone?

Crownline as they provide significantly additional coverage on upholstery and canvas.

When I looked at this chart the Regal Coverage of just one year on stringers and transom  assemblies I found alarming.  Not demonstrating any confidence here in construction processes in this area.  In terms of warranty...stringers and transom assemblies are very expensive to fix as a significant portion of the hull itself has to be disassembled.....we are talking thousands of dollars!  As a boat dealer...do not want to have a conversation with a family that just 2 or 3 years ago gave me $50,000 or Brand X and now we have a major problem with stringers or transom construction and I need $15,000 form you to repair......Yikes!

The Pride Group essentially is the sole source for both SeaRay and Chaparral right now in Ontario.  Both of these brands from this dealer with Pride Group Pricing will be higher in initial purchase cost when comparing apples to apples than every other brand in this comparison with the exception of Cobalt.  What is up with Cobalt...they are how much... and the warranty is not great.

The lowest cost to purchase in the comparison group is Crownline and they are standing up in the marketplace with the strongest warranty.  All these brand have strong curb appeal.  Can our family save money and get superior warranty coverage in a Tier 1 boat build......apparently the answer is yes!
