Buying the Right Outboard Motor

When you want an efficient, powerful, and space-saving way to get around the water quickly, you want an outboard motor—but how do you find the right one? We here at LMC Marine want to help you get the equipment you need at a price you want, so we’ve put together a couple of tips for buying the right outboard motor, below. To learn more, or to see the outboard motors we have for sale, contact our store in Houston, Texas, today!

Power Needs

The amount of power you want will depend on what you’re using your boat for. If you want high-speed thrills and watersports, you’re going to want a more powerful (and likely more expensive) outboard motor. If you’re just fishing or exploring, however, a smaller, lighter, and less expensive model will do nicely.

Fuel Efficiency

When and where possible, get the motor with the best fuel efficiency without sacrificing your other needs. It’s easy to find a gas-guzzler, but in the long run you’ll be glad you found something a bit more economical.

Trust

Finally, try to find a brand you trust. Look online for reviews to see which brands tend to deliver on their promises and which are more hit-or-miss. You should also find a trustworthy seller. While independent sellers might have unique options and pricing, they have no investment in your satisfaction, whereas dealerships rely on positive customer feedback to stay in business.
