Default Re: 20-24 foot center console for under 30k

Even If money were not an object I myself would never buy a new one unless it was something so specialized that you could not find it used somewhere . There are lots of like new boats with very low hours sitting in storage that are 4 or 5 years old with hardly any use that you can get a great deal on. I bought an Albemarle 27 a few years back from an estate sale in Key Largo that was 6 years old and still had the break in oil in the motors, stabil in the tanks, plastic on the seats and had been drystacked and only on the water for 56 engine hours. The old guy got sick and laid up and his wife hated boating (and him) , he died, the kids lived in New York and were not interested etc etc etc. Used hurricane boats are of course another matter and I would be very careful and get a complete marine survey..Frank
