The 411 on Rinker Boats

The Rinker Boat Company was founded by boat lovers. They had a passion for life on the water and brought this passion with them to work every day, making Rinker their life’s work. Their boats may have evolved over the years, but one thing hasn’t changed. Their belief in providing the best value on the water has stayed the same. Whether you are looking for a family sport boat or an express cruiser, you can find it at the best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks. Rinker gives you innovative designs, incredible standard features, head-turning style, all at a price that makes sense for you and your family. Iguana Boat Sales carriers Rinker’s cutting-edge series of boats. Check out the family of boats below!

Captiva Sport Boats

This line of sport boats includes the popular Captiva 186, Captiva 196, and the MTX Performance Series. These models are also versatile. They are great for fishing – they have rod storage, and fore and aft casting decks. There are models dedicated to water sports with standard wake towers and upgraded stereos. If you prefer to spend the day cruising, there are also concealed coolers and options for bow sun pad filler cushions.

Rinker Express Cruisers

The Express Cruiser lineup offers a unique combination of passenger capacity, cruising capability, and economical operation. These models are a top choice for family boating. They are sleek, sporty, and provide exhilarating performance. Express Cruisers can be used for everything from coving out and relaxing to weekend cruising. It’s a great boat for the Lake of the Ozarks.

The Story Behind The Brand

Rinker started from humble beginnings out of Lossie Rinker’s workshop in the 1930s on the White River in Indiana. The company’s first racing boat was built in 1945 and throughout the years they have rolled out a number of pleasure boats, cabin cruisers, runabouts, and ski-boats. In 2005, Nautical Global Group became the parent company of Rinker and introduced an entirely new generation of cruisers. Rinker then became the first sterndrive boat builder to offer a wake tower and water sports package on its sport boats. Today, Rinker exports boats to over 40 countries while remaining true to its Mid-western heritage. They build their watercraft with pride, craftsmanship, and the desire to be the best value in the industry. Rinker is the oldest American boat brand that is still in continuous production.

Consider These Tips Before Attending A Boat Show

It’s our second favorite time of year! Summer is obviously our favorite time, but boat show season is a close second. Weekends are now filled with boat shows in Missouri from Kansas City and St. Louis, down to Springfield. The best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks will be bringing awesome 2018 boats to each show. With all of the boat shows coming up, Iguana Boat Sales wanted to make sure that you’re fully prepared if you decide to attend a show this year. Check out the tips below and we hope to see you at one of the shows!

Be Prepared

If you happen to forget every tip but one, let this be the one you remember. Boat shows for many people can be absolutely overwhelming. There are hundreds, if not thousands of boats, hundreds of exhibitors, and thousands of people just like you attending the show. You might feel like you will miss something cool or brand new because you aren’t sure where to start or where to go. There’s good news though! You can avoid sensory overload with some advanced planning. All major boat shows provide a list of exhibitors, events, and activities on their website. You can easily put together a list of exhibitors you want to check out and different boats that interest you.

Tip: More organization means less stress. You can never be too prepared.

Map It Out

Without a game plan in hand, you can be left wondering up and down each isle wasting precious time. The size of major boat shows can be overwhelming. It’s important to use the boat show’s map to create a strategy based on the layout and the floor plan. This way, you can identify your top exhibits for each day and see what is located near each other. By doing this, you can also maximize your must-sees and –dos while decreasing how much time you spend walking around the show.

Money Matters

If you are looking to purchase a new boat, you’ll want to keep in mind your realistic budget and how you’re going to purchase or finance a boat if you happen to find one. If you’re going to finance the boat, it’s a good idea to get preapproved for a loan before you attend the show. This will save you any headaches once you get there and will allow you to act quickly if you find your dream boat. You should at least decide how much you can spend on just the boat itself and if you have any wiggle room for options. Then you should factor in taxes, delivery cots, and any other dealer-related prep work or fees.

Tip: Keep in mind your monthly budget for the new boat. Things like routine service and maintenance, marina fees, and any offseason storage fees.

Iguana Boat Sales

Boat show season is in full swing and Iguana Boat Sales is excited to help you find your dream boat. If you’re visiting one of the upcoming boat shows, make sure to stop by the best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks. We will have brand new 2018 boats on exhibit and we can help you find your next boat. Summer will be here before you know it, make sure you’re prepared to have a great summer out on the Lake.

Beat The Summer Heat On A Pontoon

Does your family love spending days out on the Lake? Are you in the market for a boat that can provide you with plenty of space for friends and family and can be used for tubbing and other fun activities? If that’s the case, then a pontoon boat may be the perfect option for you! The versatility of a pontoon boat, along with plenty storage and passenger room, pontoon boats can make a good weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks with your friends and family even better! The best boat dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks sells all the best brands in pontoons, such as Aqua Patio, SanPan, and SweetWater. However, if you still need convincing that a pontoon is right for your family, Iguana Boat Sales has three reasons why a pontoon is the perfect family boat.

Lots Of Space

Pontoons make great family boats because there's lots of space to spread out and relax or have fun and run around. Traditional boats don't have the space that pontoons have. There is room to move around, large couches and sometimes they come with a table, which is perfect for kids to use to play with their toys or enjoy a lunch. Older kids and teenagers love pontoons too because there's enough room for them to invite their friends and still have plenty of room for the family.

Perfect For Activities

Although pontoons have a reputation for being slow-moving and perfect for enjoying a lazy day out on the Lake (who doesn't love those?), that isn't necessarily true anymore. Pontoons have been redesigned with speed in mind. If your family loves to have fun playing with towables, you may need to consider a pontoon! Pontoons are great in the fact that they are extremely versatile. Whether you love to take it easy and fish or speed on down the Lake, pontoon boats have you covered.

Easy To Maintain

Pontoons are made of aluminum, which helps prevent tearing and ripping. Boating on the Lake of the Ozarks brings relatively few risks to your boat, but shallow waters, especially when launching and removing a boat, put your boat at risk. A dent is much easier to repair than a tear or hole, and your boat isn't immediately out of commission for the repair. In addition to being sturdier, cleaning a pontoon is much easier too! Ski boats and luxury yachts at the Lake of the Ozarks come with a gel coating that needs to be wiped down to keep that sleek and pristine look. Pontoon boats, made of aluminum, can be loaded onto the trailer and driven away - a pontoon boat looks just as good when it is air dried.

Your Lake of the Ozarks Boat Dealer

Pontoons are the perfect watercraft for families and friends at the Lake. Iguana Boat Sales carries the best pontoon boats at the Lake of the Ozarks because we understand the importance of having a fun time on the water. Come to our boat showroom and look for the boat that fits you and your family, and leave with a watercraft that will make the summertime at the Lake of the Ozarks even more fun!
