Real Reviews From Real Boat Owners

When we created BoaterInput, the goal was to build a place where actual boat owners could leave honest reviews about the boats and equipment they own. And we wanted a place where boaters of various types, whether that be small Aluminum Fishing boats or large Cruisers, could go to get valuable and trustworthy insights and advice.

If you’re looking to purchase a boat or thinking about upgrading the equipment on your current one, this is the place for you.

Already own a boat? Be sure to post a review to share your experiences so that other potential boat owners can benefit from them.  Plus, throughout 2023, we will be giving away a $100 Amazon.com or Bass Pro Shops gift certificate for every 100 reviews received.  So, the more products you review, the greater your chances of winning!  See the official sweepstakes rules for details.
