Kinda like older cars, it depends on how long you plan to hold on to it. 2 or 3 years probably not worth the hassle or investment of time and money. 10 or 20 probably. Besides, could you afford or justify a NEW boat? If not, then you are still just getting a used boat and someone else's problems. Buying used is almost always a compromise between value and hassles. I can usually deal with hassles.
