New boats and boating on South Dakota lakes

So you think you want to own a boat. If you like being outdoors on the water boating is a great idea. They are more fun than most people can imagine. However boats are also more hassle than most people think they will be. That’s why you need all the information this site has to offer before you get any new boats.

Personally I’ve owned 12-14 different boats from small twelve foot aluminum fishing craft to a 20 foot pontoon you could pull tubes or skiers with. I’ve owned inboards and outboards, fishing boats and fast ones that you could pull three or four skiers.

My suggestions would be to figure out what you want to use it for, who’s going to be with you and how much you can afford to spend on a boat. The upfront costs are pretty clear but the cost of ownership does surprise some people at the costs or time for maintenance and for just using it.
