I bought my current boat new in 2005, its out fitted with a 115 yamaha 4stroke. I dont remember the exact numbers. Its going on 7,000 hours.
I am Currently shopping for a new boat. I have almost made up my mind to buy new again. Looking at a 258 DLV Carolina skiff fitted with a 200 yamaha. That is until My eye caught an immaculate used boat. Fitted with a Low hours '04 yamaha 225 (F225TXRD). The boat was used regular first few years, but has trickled down to only a few times a year.
The boats fairly priced, And well taken care of. Freshwater use. Regular service has been done since day one.
Just wondering your opinion on buying this boat or Buying a new boat.
Im weighing the options of used and new pros and cons. Kind of of meeting in the middle. So Really its what i feel comfortable with doing. Its not going to be the last boat i buy, but if i cant get close to the use on this boat as my current boat, i'd be very happy. And probally ready for a new boat again in a few years.
But opinions are welcomed.
Thanks
