Like many high cost short term life items now a days - computers, car, plasma screen, even washing machines, I am wondering if a low capital input (leave more cash for running costs) is a better option by using the "banks money". The straight loan is one for thinking about.
My grand idea though was to pay monthly fee (lease, loan) + have a great time on the water + let some else worry about off loading it when is gets out of fashion + get another upgrade.
Maybe the alternative is to just rent as and when the engine hours are running, just like an aircraft.
