Boat Buying Advice

New BoatTEST Boat-Buying Service

BoatTEST co-founder and CEO, Jeff Hammond | Boat show

BoatTEST co-founder and CEO, Jeff Hammond.  Boat shows are a great place to look at boats, but all that glitters is not gold.

With so many brands and models, it is hard for even veteran boat owners to decide which is the best brand and model for their needs. There are many reasons for that, chief among them are issues that are not apparent when looking at a boat in a dealer’s showroom or at a boat show.  

All boats look great at a boat show or in a dealer’s show room, but the biggest issues involve things such as quality control, basic build specifications, equipment installation, wiring details, warrantee practices, dealer service, and brand integrity. With 57 years experience in the boating industry, few people have a better handle on boats and brands than BoatTEST’s co-founder and CEO, Jeff Hammond.
