Nov. 26 2014 News By White's Marine Center

You might have gone to an outdoor boat show, and have found yourself visualizing again having a great time on the water. If you have been daydreaming like this many times before, maybe it’s time to go buy and get a boat for yourself. Here are a few more reasons why now is the best time to talk to authorized boat dealers in Missouri—and beef up your plans to turn your dream into something you can actually take on the water.


Ted Takasaki, in his article for Midwest Outdoors, outlines some of the reasons why owning a boat encourages a healthier lifestyle and promotes general well-being:


Boats Can Teach Conservation.

Teaching kids the importance of supporting efforts to protect natural resources will insure we have stewards of the environment for decades to come. They can see how fishing and boat licenses contribute to state and federal natural resource agencies.

Boats Can Lead People To Healthier Lifestyles.

Owning a boat can be one prescription to solve one of the worst health crises facing America today. The Centers for Disease Control reports that more than one third of American adults are obese and another third is overweight. More than one-third of American children are overweight or obese. Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years. A sedentary lifestyle yields both physical and mental health problems.

Having a boat that is available to us often get us up and moving. We burn calories as we go.

People who generally enjoy the outdoors, with a special affinity to travels on water, understand what it means to own a boat. For these people, time off from land and being on a boat helps clear the mind and alleviate stress. Many parents who spend a great deal of their holiday or weekend breaks taking off on their boat, with the children along, have shared the benefits of having the kids learn of their natural world through fishing or sailing; the activity has opened their sense of wonder and expanded their horizons while taking in all of nature’s wildness and abundance from their travels on water.

With nature as your surrounding and reason for the commune, it’s not surprising when fishing or sailing enthusiasts claim that owning and traveling on their boats help improve their quality of life, which could even extend their lifespan. In this digital age where everyone is glued to his or her respective gadget and music concert, a family time-off away from the virtual world, offers the family quality time, a perfect way to seize moments to teach a child to fish, or bond with the teens.

Today’s lifestyle has been hampered by the work grind, leaving little room for restful vacations. When the quiet of a lake or river, or the immense sweep of the sea beckons, there’s nothing like actually taking yourself out to sea on your boat.
