When the lot of guys make your payments let them decide for you. Personally I bought used because I wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing, wanted to see if I liked ocean fishing on my own boat as much as I should, and buying a new $200,000.00 striper just wasn't in the cards.
If you can afford it, why not? Warranty is a wonderful thing, you get to break it in how you want, and you have no preowner gremlins.
My buddy bought a 30' kingfisher last year for $320,000 and can sell it this year after 80 days+ fishing for more than he paid.
There are pros and cons both ways, it just depends on how deep your pockets are.
If I was going to do it again, I would have bought new although my boat has been great to me.
