I doubt you'll ever find two boat that all other things are equal except one is older/fewer hours vs. newer/more hours. The advantage of newer is that you might get some warranty left on the boat (Cobalts are 5 years from in service date).

I agree with Dave R, condition is everything.

And personally, I think a used 22-24ft boat would be better on Winni than a new 19-22' boat. My first was a 20', and that lasted a year. I'm in a 24' and it was a great decision.

Good luck!
