[quote=benedict]I'll toss in a couple of other thoughts: Are you in it to sail or to do boat restoration? And how handy are you with a wrench? With epoxy and fiberglass? With painting?
Not trying to scare anyone or anything. But getting a used boat is kind of like getting a classic Mustang. If the goal is simply to go fast, it's better to get a new Mustang. If the goal is to restore a classic and be a badass, learn to love tightening all the chrome bits that like to fall off your car. If the goal is to get a project car you lavish your attention on and wind up with a gorgeous piece of art in the end, get the classic and live the dream. But be ready to spend all your weekends under the hood 'till it's running.
Me, personally, I love the idea that I'm restoring a classic (boat, not 'Stang). But I sure's heck wish my wallet was bigger and I could've bought new!
