im still undecided on if im gonna get a new boat or not . im waiting for the perfect deal to come along so i will wait it out there are tons of good deals on used boats right now due to the economny i found that shearwater for mikethe tiger . the only way i will buy new is if i get to impatient or if i find a smokin deal on a new one . i used to be scared to buy used because you never know how the boat ws ran but you can have the motor hooked up to the computer . my used boat situation would be:
-1-2 years old
-NORMAL rec. use hours not to loww where the boat sat up and had time to rot hoses ect.. not to high where it was used more than the rec. user-
-clean hull no chips gouges i will accept a little dock "rub" on the rub rails
-warranty left on motor and lifetime tranferable warr. on hull
-find the right seller someone who is not gonna be upside down in their loan , that has to sell for a certian number. ( basiclly someone i can haggle on the price with)
- boat MUST HAVE BEEN KEPT COVERED !!!!!!!!
- look in the storage compartments this is a dead give away if they are full of clutter and trash have mildew in em most likely the person only washed the outside of the boat cuz you were comin over to look at it
