Default Re: question about buying a new or used boat

iwould suggest buying a real boat. that is a glorified jet ski. that boat will beat you to death, insurance depends on the loan amount that is covered, where it is kept. what do you have for a tow vehicle? you will have to decide if you want it in a marina, in the water, or rack storage, or on a trailer, at home, or a storage lot. you also have to consider fuel for use, and maintainance cost.
