Buying Horizon Boats: questions to ask
Before choosing a model, ask the dealer to confirm availability, the complete package weight and local service support. Get the answers in writing so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
- Which Horizon Boats models are physically stocked in Australia now, and which are special-order only?
- What is included in the quoted package, and what will the complete ready-to-use weight be with propulsion, fuel or battery, safety gear and normal accessories?
- Who performs warranty assessment and supplies replacement parts in the state where the boat will be used?
- What tube fabric, seam construction and repair materials are supplied on the exact Australian configuration?
- Can the complete boat-and-engine package be demonstrated with the buyer's normal passenger and gear load?
- What hull thickness, construction method and flotation arrangement apply to this exact hull?
- Can the boat be trialled with the intended trailer, roof-loading or launching system?
Take the answers into the comparison tool, then use the sea-trial protocol or, for sailing boats, the sailing dinghy buying guide.
