I'll second that, we got our Caravelle 23' Interceptor at the end of last season for a right price.
It is a 2007 that was only titled for 1 year and spend its whole life on the dealers floor before that. When we got it had 30 hours and I paid roughly 1/2 price!
The most important thing is to find a boat you will be comfortable in, and for us that meant small cabin and good cockpit space. I almost went for a 2001 Wellcraft Excalibur 26', but was worried it was a bit much to trailer all the time and it was older than I wanted. In hind site it might have been a bit better as there NEVER seems to be enough cockpit space,,,
In the end we do love the Caravelle and being so new with so few hours I think we did well, I'm sure you will find just as good a deal, just be sure to get in it and make sure it is a good fit for the family.
