Answer 2

First, examine your own intentions. What do you plan on doing with this yacht? Entertaining, deep water fishing, weekending vs multi-week trips, long distance cruising or ICW stuff. Every aspect of any one yacht will address your desires to a differing degree. Once you know what you want to DO with your yacht then you'll know what to look for. When you've nailed down your desired yacht aspects THEN you look for the model(s) that fit that bill, you then move on to the condition of the yachts that you find and lastly you look for price. You need to know what you want before anyone can tell you what you should look for.
