Treat Your Fishing Boat Well on Dry Land for More Splash on the Water

One of the most important elements of boat ownership is the maintenance of mechanical systems.

October 02, 2023 By Game & Fish Staff

Anglers who view boat ownership as a long-term investment will have long-term success chasing fish. The less you have to worry about your boat’s performance, the more you can focus on the fish. That means there are going to be plenty of after-purchase expenses to keep your rig in tip-top shape. Consider the costs of storage, insurance, accessories and boat, outboard and trailer maintenance. In this video, Game & Fish Magazine Editorial Director Adam Heggenstaller talks about maintaining your boat for success on the water. Sponsored by Gumout Performance Additives.
