· How many people do you plan on having the boat at one time?
· Do you need a multi functioning boat that meets multiple boating needs or do you have just one specific function for your boat such as fishing?
· What types of weather conditions will you be using your boat in and is it capable of handling all types of weather conditions.
· How safe is your used boat?
· How often will you stay in the boat? Do you need it for long term accommodation?
