I'm in Viper's camp. If I had one of those money trees in the backyard, I'd certainly consider new. I do understand new buyers who need to (or want to) rely on the warranty instead of taking on the repairs themselves.

Last year I was offered 2k more than I paid for it. But the wife wouldn't let me sell it.

Re: Poll for NEW boat purchases.
the comparison with cars: different use I think, much more leasure and luxury and privacy. And less useful for common things like hauling stuff to the dump, moving kids, keeping up business image and so on.
I think you need to be a boater for a while to know what you look for in a new boat. Different from a configurator for cars.
I admit that I thought of a new car once or twice but usually buy a used one and modify it to suit my personal needs rather than paying top dollar for stupid package combinations that are marketing driven instead of my-needs-and-wants-driven. and then still having to add or change details.
