Ok so I have a 1997 maxum 20foot ski boat and I am looking to upgrade.
I have moorage on lake washington ( near seattle ) and so most of my
time is spent on the lake. I was thinking of buying a cruiser but I
have realised a new ski boat is the way for me.

So I went down to the dealship and fell in love with the bayliner 225.
This was a new model in 2004 and is AWESOME. It's got this fantasic L
shaped seating system, and comes with a 260hp fuel injected beast of a
engine. 22feet long and a uber wide beam of 9 feet makes it really
roomy.

but I found a problem, there arent any used available So now I am
stuck in this mode of actually considering buying new! This seems
insane to me since I would take such a depreciation hit.. but it's a
boat.. we dont buy these things to make money

So tell me if I am nuts or since I found the right boat I should just
go for it. To put it into perspective my signifigant other who is 100%
opposed to upgradeing the boat things the bayliner 225 is fantastic!
