OP,
Curious as to what you did if anything?
I'm a big fan if buying used, for the same reason that the above poster stated, depreciation. There are a ton of boats out there that people just get tired of, after sitting in their storage unit or back yard for years. When they finally sell, motor not running due to length of time, you have a great opportunity to buy.
As for Skiffs in general:
Pros: inexpensive, can run in some darn skinny water (6"+), and rather simple to clean and set up to your liking.
Cons: Do not like choppy water - it will be a wet ride in these conditions.
Having said that, I would not hesitate to pull the trigger on a good deal Skiff. Under the right conditions, they're nice bay boats. You can use a trolling motor to easily get them into the marshes to chase some nice Redfish . . . .
