You\u2019ve got the house of your dreams, in the active adult community of your dreams \u2014 The Villages at Two Rivers, of course. You\u2019re settling in, and you\u2019re so excited about discovering common interests among your neighbors; about planting your very own vegetables in your very own vegetable garden; about loving this new, exciting chapter of your life.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But something is missing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What could it be?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Could it be\u2026 a boat?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yes! That\u2019s it. You need a boat!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve always wanted to own a boat, and Odenton, Maryland is the perfect place to make that dream come true. Located just a few short miles from the Severn River, active adults and boating enthusiasts alike will find no shortage of opportunities to slip into the water.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ask yourself these questions first.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The answer to this question will go a long way toward helping you narrow down what type of boat to buy. Are you interested in long-distance offshore sailing, or just a quick jaunt down the river? Think carefully about what you want, and make an educated, informed decision accordingly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The answer to the last question will influence this: Either style of boat will require knowledge of seamanship and marine maintenance, but what you\u2019re yearning to get out of your time on the water is of key importance. In a sailboat, life is about the journey, but if you\u2019re looking for speed \u2014 or just want to get from points A to B \u2014 a powerboat may be the thing for you.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Deciding \u2018new\u2019 or \u2018used\u2019 matters less about your lifestyle, and more about your budget. New boats will, clearly, cost more, but you can also ensure you get exactly what you want. On the other hand, the used boat market is flooded with options, and you\u2019ll have more leeway to negotiation on price. (Say, you might purchase a 2015 model 36-foot Island Packet for around $357 thousand, while an earlier, similar model might sell for less than half that.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\nWhat kind of boating do you want to do?<\/em><\/h3>\n
