Hey all,
Newbie here. Looking for my first boat down here in Houston TX and I’ve been at it for a few months. I’ve finally decided to scrap getting a blue water capable boat and go for something I’m actually going to use regularly. Given the sailing grounds down here (Galveston Bay) I’m looking at the 22, it checks most of the boxes for me and my goals.
So I’m looking for some advice on buying new vs used. Initially I couldn’t imagine buying a new boat and never considered it. Now, I’ve found a beautiful blue Capri in stock here and I’m rationalizing like crazy to make it happen. Just wanted to vet my thinking with some experienced owners before I make a big mistake...or maybe it isn’t that’s why I’m here.
I appreciate any words of wisdom on here in advance. Thanks.
