You'll liekly lose at least 1/3 of your "investment" in the first year if you
lay out $46k for a 24-foot Maxum.

Example:

http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi...sp?currency=US
D&units=Feet&currencyid=100&slim=quick&boat_id=114 9743&units=Feet&currency
=USD&access=Public&listing_id=58309&url=

(If I wanted to buy the boat in the listing I just linked, I'd start with an
offer of about
$25k)


Also where should I go for boat reviews

There's Maxum owner's group:
www.maxumowners.org

That will give you some "first hand" information from actual owners. Far more
valuable than a boat review when you're thinking of putting out real dough.
