Used Pontoon Boats - Lake of the Ozarks In Water Boat Show Review

Princecraft Pontoon Sportfisher 18 L4S

Hi gang, Rick Ostler here from North American Waterway bringing you Used Pontoon Boats along with news and views from the boating industry. Going to be a great weekend for all typed of boaters especially Pontoon boaters in Lake of the Ozarks.

The forecast calls for sunny skies and temperatures in the 70s and 80s as the finest boats, best dealers and the biggest waterfront venue combine for the last major boat show of the year.

The Lake of the Ozarks Marine dealers are throwing the 4th Annual September In-Water Clearance Boat Show today through Sunday at The Horny Toad.

The event allows boat enthusiasts to stroll the docks as the best vessels on the market lay waiting for a test drive. Visitors may negotiate with over 30 dealers offering special values on new, pre-owned and demo cruisers, runabouts, performance boats, pontoon boats, ski boats, personal watercraft, docks, lifts and boating accessories.

"If you're considering buying a boat between now and spring you shouldn't miss this. The incentives are as good as they're likely to get," Shane Landis with Village Marina said. "If you're serious about buying a boat, you owe it to yourself to sit down with your boat dealer to find out why this is the time to buy."

Village Marina will dock sizzling Cobalts, Carvers and Four Winns at the Horny Toad this weekend.

Landis says he's already seen some incredible deals roll across his desk and the autumn months are just beginning.

Most dealers have 2008 models to liquidate as the 2009s wait on deck to fill showrooms across Lake of the Ozarks.

Glencove Marine will have the Formula line and six Sea-Doos at the show.

"Buy any new remaining Sea-Doo in stock and get up to $1,000 on a pre-paid Visa gas card. Buy a 2007 or 2008 Sea-Doo sport boat, and receive up to $2,000 on a gas card. This promotion ends on Sunday, Sept. 7," Pam Lepper, Glencove's marketing director, said.

Formula has long been regarded one of the finest pleasure boats for sale at Lake of the Ozarks.  "On the Formula side, we have some great incentives and financing options. Qualified buyers can receive 0% financing for 24 months, or take advantage of huge cash rebates," Lepper said. "We'll have some beautiful new boats at the show, but we also have a great selection of new boats and pre-owned models at our 3MM Marina as well as our Highway Showroom (located next to Central Bank off of Highway 54 in Osage Beach)."

The boat deals don't end there.

Kelly's Port Marina will captain Regal Cruisers, Baja Performance Boats and Princecraft Pontoons from their home at the 19MM to Toad Cove for the thousands of boat enthusiasts expected to congregate this weekend.

"There are good manufacturer specials and dealers are aggressive," Kyle Kelly of Kelly's Port Marina said. "It's the turn of the model year... We have some good deals on new and pre-owned boats."

With boat deals on the table and plenty of weekends left in the fall boating season, Kelly says this is the time to buy.

The most popular boat in America will appear at the boat show, courtesy of MarineMax of Osage Beach and Lake Ozark. Sea Ray, with 54,266 boats, is by far the most popular powerboat owned by BoatUS members from coast to coast.

“Since the average BoatUS member owns 1.8 boats we can say with confidence that BoatUS members own nearly 1.2 million recreational boats,” said BoatUS Magazine publisher Michael Sciulla, noting that 80 percent of members have been boating for more than ten years and that the average size boat owned is larger than 27 feet in length.

“Given their dedication to this lifestyle, it’s no surprise that our boat members have opted for quality and value when choosing their vessels,” Sciulla added.

The 4th Annual September Boat Show opens today at 1 p.m. and will run until the sun begins to set. The show will continue Saturday 10 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. On Friday the event will be free and on Saturday and Sunday, entrance will cost $5 for adults and free for children under 12. Parking is free by land and water.
