That's exactly what I worried that the perception would be, after I'd seen my mistake.

I keep telling myself this.
I've been trying to talk myself out of it, as I am not wealthy.

I'd assume you'd be somewhere around a 25 year old boat, so understand you'll have a decent amount of things breaking on it as you go. You may be able to get a slightly newer one in that range (maybe 5 years newer), but without a trailer already docked up there.
Yep... I've been trying to cover all the angles.
I'm restricting myself to boats that have less than 1000 hours or had the engine and props replaced.
I am a decent mechanic, should it be necessary.
I've worked on mechanical, electrical, and hydraulics at an industrial level.
