I will deffinately make my way down for the boat show. It sounds like it has a lot to offer. I think that my big delema now is buying new or buying used. I was looking at a used boat but quickly found out that you never really know what is wrong with them. The financing is also a little trickey. From recent experience, I found it is necessary to go into a deal with at least 10% to 15% down and expect to pay more on interest. New boats appear to be a whole different ball game. I figure it may be a while now that I know more. I will take some of your guy's advice and buy outright or bring more cash to the table. It is just a matter of time now. Lets see if I have the patience.
