Why by new when you can pick up slightly used and already outfitted at great prices right now. Even brand new boats have bugs to be worked out and problems to be fixed.
I agree completely! Unless you are stinking rich (in which case I need capital for my business), you should buy used right now for your first boat. If you like it, you'll want to trade up. You'll lose less since you spend less. There are a lot of really nice boats out there going for low prices. Especially now as the season winds down. Don't be afraid to spend some time and travel to find that perfect boat. $150K buys WAY more in a used boat than new.
