Used boats cost less?
Sure……….like a used car may cost less than a new car, a used boat may initially cost less than a new boat. But, most people buying their first or second sailboat really need the comfort and peace of mind that a new boat provides in the way of new equipment, dealer assistance and new boat warranty. As they are new to the sport, and are not interested in learning how to be a boat repairmen, the new boat allows you to be on the water enjoying sailing with their family ………….not learning how to fix a boat.
