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.

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.

Are You In The Holiday Spirit?

We are now just a few days away from Christmas and the best boat dealership at the Lake of the Ozarks is really feeling the holiday spirit. Presents are wrapped, families will be coming into town and what better way to celebrate the festive holiday season than with some festive fun facts about Christmas. Iguana Boat Sales has put together a list to help you get into the holiday spirit.

Festive Christmas Facts

There are 15,000 tree farms in the United States with over 350 million trees growing. Approximately 25 to 30 million real Christmas trees are sold across the United States every year.

If you add up all of the gifts that were given in the Twelve Days of Christmas it would equal 364 gifts.

The most common Christmas Tree types are a Balsam Fir, Douglas Fir, Fraser Fir, Noble Fir, Scotch Pine, Virginia Pine, and White Pine

Each year in the United States over 3 billion Christmas cards are sent.

Each Christmas season, there are approximately 20,000 “rent-a-Santa” across the United States. Every “rent-a-Santa” undergoes seasonal training on how to maintain a jolly attitude under pressure from the public. They also receive advice such as not accepting money from parents while children are looking and to avoid any smelly foods for lunch/dinner.

In 1836, Alabama was the first state to officially recognize Christmas. Christmas wasn’t declared an official holiday in the United States until 1870. Oklahoma was the last to declare Christmas a legal holiday in 1907.

Christmas trees are usually grown for 15 years before they are cut down and sold.

Engineers that designed the Voyager Space Mission planned things out so it would avoid planetary encounters during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The first Christmas postage stamp was issued in the United States in 1962.

Some zoos accept donated Christmas trees as food for their animals.

Nearly all of the most popular Christmas songs including “Winter Wonderland’, ‘Chestnuts roasting…’, and ‘I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas” were written by Jewish people.

An artificial Christmas tree would have to be reused for more than 20 years to be “greener” than buying a fresh-cut tree annually.

Japanese people traditionally eat at KFC for Christmas dinner, thanks to a successful marketing campaign over 40 years ago.

Christmas purchases account for 1/6 of all retail sales in the United States annually.

What To Know Before You Buy a Boat

Making the decision to buy a boat should be easy, right? Technically, it is. If you are wanting something to get away from it all or bring the family closer together, then buying a boat may be for you. However, there are a few things you should consider before making the leap to purchase a boat. In addition to deciding whether to buy new or used, you need to make sure you are choosing the best boat for your lifestyle. Once you have an idea of the type of boat you are wanting, you should make sure you purchase it from the best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks. Iguana Boat Sales has a few questions you should ask yourself to help make the decision a little bit easier.

How Will You Be Using Your Boat

Before buying a boat, you need to consider how you are going to use it. Some questions you should ask yourself are:

• How often are you going to use it?
• Are you going to using your boat for any fishing?
• Will you be out with the whole family wake boarding or enjoying other water sports?
• How many people will you usually have on-board?
• How much space do you need on your boat?

Whether your plans include cruising, racing, fishing, tubing or anything else, there is a boat suited for your needs. When buying a boat, you need to choose a boat that is going to compliment your lifestyle. The best boat dealer at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you choose the best boat for you.

New vs. Used

Once you have decided what kind and what size boat you want, the next step is to decide whether you want to buy a new boat or a used boat. There are many advantages and disadvantages to buying either. When you buy a new boat, you can buy exactly what you want and you'll have the manufacturer's warranty. However, often times, the biggest disadvantage to new boats is the cost. Although used boats may be cheaper upfront, they may require more maintenance. If you don't mind a project, then a used boat may be for you. However, if you want to be able to pick and choose what you want in your boat, then buying new may be the better option. 

Where Are You Going to Buy Your Boat?

Once you have figured out what kind of boat you want and whether you want to buy used or new, you need to figure out where you want to purchase it. At Iguana Boat Sales, we offer some of the best boat brands with the right combination of price, quality, and value.

3 Tips For Attending Boat Shows

The best time to buy a boat is during the off-season, which happens to coincide with boat show season! If you are thinking of buying a boat at the Lake of the Ozarks, it is definitely wise to visit a few shows before making your purchase. Boat shows provide great opportunities for boaters to get special deals and incentive on new boats, as well as opportunities to meet boat dealers and manufacturers. However, if you aren't quite ready to purchase a new boat, you can just take it all in and have fun! For those who are ready to take the plunge, Iguana Boat Sales offers a few tips to make the best of your boat show experience.

1. Do Your Homework

Boat shows are a great way to start your boat buying journey. When you visit a boat show, you have the opportunity to try many different boats.  In addition, many times you can also get great deals. However, to know you are getting the best bang for your buck, you should do your homework ahead of time. Have a rough estimate of how much your dream boat will cost with the features you are looking for, that way you know how much you are actually saving. 

2. Attend More Than One

Winter boat show season is typically January through March. If you are serious about investing in a boat, use the boat show season to your advantage and attend as many as possible. Boat shows are held across the nation, and some of the best ones are right here at the Lake of the Ozarks! By attending as many boat shows as you can throughout the season, you will be building your knowledge of boat manufacturers, dealers and prices, which will help you narrow the field of possible new boats.

3. Use Them To Your Advantage

Boat shows are catered for those looking to purchase a new boat, so use them to your advantage. Be opened minded and shop all the makes and models. The best part of boat shows are having so many boats in one place to comparison shop. It is also wise to take along a camera and notebook to record your observations about each boat that catches your eye. Write down what you like or didn't like about each model and your impressions of the boat. Don't forget to grab brochures for the boats you like best. In addition, write the boat show price and the list price so you can compare prices between boat shows and dealers.
