Last monday i drove a rt188 the guy gave me some bs excuse as to why...then i found one 4hrs away, kinda the same way today happened. Tell him i have money on it and am coming to look/buy he agrees then....nothing for hours then when i ask what the deal is...Oh its sold...All 3 boat owners were "kids" had to be less than 25 y/o... The exact reason i ask questions to you guys on here... I figure most of you are somewhat wise lol. Its really lookin like a new boat is in store for me...
New boat ain't a horrible thing, the 15 year financing is. But you stated you were aware of that and just posted the longest term they offered. Due dilligence and hard shopping on new will be your best tool. And look at everything in your price range. I was looking at Vhull tin boats and ended with a glass boat for same $$$ and 2' longer than the tin I was looking at.
