Re: Buying New or Used

If you can find a nice used one buy it and let the seller take the depreciation. During our liketime of boating ( 51 years ) we have owned 20 boats and only 3 were new. We have always done very well buying used.

Re: Buying New or Used

Due to the economy there are several late model used boats on the market that have seen little use. Be prepared to widen your search area to find the right one. Prices vary greatly from place to place. Best prices seem to be to the south. Good luck with your search.
