Buying a Used Boat

[Bdub]

I should probably add that I would definitely repower an older hull with a new motor. That isn't a bad deal 25k under sticker as a lot of boats hold their value when they get to a certain age and you may have actually benefited by buying used in that situation. I spoiled myself to a brand new boat and it just gives me a better feeling on the water...especially after owning a used boat that has almost left me in some sticky situations. It really just depends on the deal I guess...I actually bought a used motor today but I don't plan on taking it out in the lake and will be using it in an area where I could easily push pole or paddle back to the launch, so if it breaks down or something I wont be in too much of a bind.
