When I bought my Grady White, I found that the price difference between a 2 to 3 year old Grady and a new one was insignificant. Went with a new one, got the equipment I wanted on it, one that was never in salt water and to this day (9 years later) know that it has been maintained properly. I think whether you buy new or used depends on which boat and how long you plan on keeping it. I understand that in today's economy used boats are in far greater demand than new boats indicating that you should be able to make great deals on new ones.
