Opinions on new boat purchase?

[bud8fan]

Ok Guys/Gals,

I have been looking around the past couple of weeks for a boat and have decided that a leftover 2002 is a far better deal than trying to find the nicest used boat around for under $10,000.00.
My philosophy is what may seem really nice could very well cost me another $8000-$10000 in a year or two to repower.
Getting a new one will add another bill to my life but so would having to repower down the road!!

Well this leaves me with the chore of deciding what I want and how much I really want to spend?
I have looked at the following center console models> Angler 180F ,Mercury 115 4 stroke, Sea Hunt 172 Yamaha 90 4 stroke and SH 200 Yamaha 115 4 stroke, Aquasport Osprey190 with Yamaha 115 4 stroke. The latter 3 are 2003 boat show special pricing so they say?
There are other comparible boats out there but seeing as this is the first time I have looked in the saltwater boat market I figured I would see what you all think before I go any further!

It seems like the main difference is layout! Each one has something a little different. For example I really liked the fact that the transom area of the Aquasport was wide open, unlike the others that have the livewell on one side and a storage compartment on the other. On the other side I didnt like the fact that the fish box was so small on the Aquasport.
I guess its give and take on them all!

The Angler was by far the best price but it was also the only leftover.
Ok guys what do ya think?
Just so you know the Angler was at least $2500-$3000 less without any haggling over the price.
