Vans Updates Website: Compare Multiple Outboard Brands At Same Time

Our goal at Vans Sport Center is to get you the exact outboard motor you want and at a great price. But with so many different options available across a number of major manufacturers, deciding which one to go with can get a little frustrating. Having to look at each manufacturer one by one, sifting through all of their models, and comparing their pricing. Your looking at 5 or 6 different searches to compare each major manufacturer for a single horsepower. Which means a lot of surfing and screen time to come to a conclusion. Thats why we updated our website so that you can easily browse and compare all of your potential options in one convenient spot.

BROWSE BY MANUFACTURER
Just like our old method of browsing, you can surf through a single brand of outboard motors if you know that is what you want. But now you can take it one step further with your search by clicking on multiple brands. Lets say you want a new outboard but you only want a Yamaha or Suzuki. Select both those brands and you can sift through and compare those two makes at the same time. This way you wont have to look at them separately or have multiple windows open to compare them.

BROWSE BY HORSEPOWER
Say you are looking at getting a pretty common horse power that typically has a variety of different models such as the 9.9hp. Your not sure which brand you want but you know you need a 9.9hp. Since there are a ton of different options in this horsepower range and it can become quite daunting when you are searching and comparing all of them. Especially when your looking at every brand out there. With our redesigned "New Outboard Motors" section on our website, you can select the 9.9hp category to see every 9.9hp motor offered. This will allow you to easily compare things like weight, intake systems, options, and price all on one page!

BROWSE BY CONTROLS
Serching by the type of controls needed for operating motors can be a big help weeding out any unwanted models that do not fit your boats application. Say you are looking 8hp and 9.9hp outboards from a few different manufacturers but your boat requires a tiller steer or tiller handle motor. If you are searching those horsepowers, you are also going to get the remote steer models or in other words motors that require a helm steering system and control box. But also selecting the "Tiller Steer" in the search bar at the left, you will only see the tiller handle models in those horsepowers.

BROWSE BY SHAFT LENGTH
Just like with the control option, you can narrow your search down even more based on what shaft length motor your boat requires. Pick from 15" Short Shaft, 20" Long Shaft, 25" Extra Long Shaft, and 30" Ultra Long Shaft te view exactly what you are looking for.

BROWSE BY PROPULSION
This is a good option to select if you are looking for a jet drive outboard. Selecting this category will hide all of the propeller driven outboards and show every make of jet drive outboards that are offered. You can also narrow this search down to one or two specific brand names.

There are other categories you can use to fine tune your search such as starting options, power tilt and trim, or weight. The main thing we wanted to offer our customers was a platform where they could easily see and compare all of the motors they are interested in on one clean page. No more multiple windows open or surfing back and forth. Just researching made easy. We like how it turned out and we hope you find it useful the next time you are shopping for your next motor.
