The salesman should be friendly and knowledgeable but not pushy. The way they treat you during the sale of the boat is an indication of how you will be treated after the paperwork is signed.
 
Make sure the boat has enough room to accommodate your needs but that it's a size that is compatible with your vehicle. Take the time to actually inspect the aluminum bass boat that you are interested in and ask questions. This is your opportunity to find out all the information needed to make a wise decision.
 
Talk to the salesman about the motor and find out what guarantees you have if you buy the boat. After all, this is a big investment and you want to make sure you get a good deal. If something don't seem right about the deal or you feel uncomfortable making the purchase, then you may want to postpone buying the boat for awhile. Do some checking around or take a few days to think about it and then make a decision.
