Sorry, no more FAQ advice from Arthur other than don't worry about a few thousand bucks when buying an old boat. Do some haggling on price when buying a $250K new 34 foot boat. But don't let a few grand get in the way when buying an old boat. It costs much more to own an old boat than it does to buy it. I think the ongoing cost is worth it if you like the boat, and you use the boat, and you give it the care that it deserves. Enjoy it as long for as you can before passing it on to the next liucky owner. Boats like Gusto will last forever. And so will the memories.
