Where I would challenge the OP is do you really know what your ideal boat is? 10 years ago I thought I did, only to buy it and find out it wasn't the right rig for me. Then I had to sell it, take a loss and start over... In the 4 years before I bought it I was boatless, seemed like an eternity. In hindsight best thing would have been to use the cash I had to buy a good used boat in the interim and learn more about what I really like and what I don't. Then in 4 years when you have more cash saved to buy new for cash, you might have a much clearer idea of what is best for you long term. Short term boat ownership and flipping doesn't usually work out very well financially.
