It is time to get those boats out of storage, unwrapped, tuned up, and in the water! Whether you are a die-hard fisherman or just live for leisurely boat cruising (and stopping at various waterfront restaurants), this is the time all over the country to get the boats ready to ride the waves! If you have any Marinas or Boat Dealers as advertising customers, this is a fantastic time to help them advertise. They most likely have purchased a large volume of boats from the various boat manufacturers with the hope that they will make the most sales between now and the 4th of July – with a big push on Memorial Weekend. With the cost of a boat, they can easily have thousands of dollars in their accrual funds to spend. Just imagine – if they earn 2% and just one boat is $60-80k (on average) the dealers have a lot of co-op funds stacked up!
