Great thread. Just bought a boat after 2 years of looking. It was a painful process but I finally got the right boat at a decent price. Cobalt 23 LS, we love it. I would suggest the same rules apply for buying a boat as buying a PCar. Get the best boat you can afford. Get the boat you want, do not settle for something too small or of poor quality. They are very hard to sell, so get what you want the first time. Also, a bigger motor running at 50% uses less gas than a small motor running at 100%. Keep that in mind and do not be afraid of a boat that appears to be overpowered. Get a boat with Fuel Injection, (Mercruiser or Volvo are could choices as stated previously)big difference in reliability and fuel costs. Finally take it for a ride and let a mechanic have a look at it. Enjoy
Cheers
