My advice is:

Make sure that you can afford to maintain a 34 foot boat. If you buy this boat (or any boat in decent condition), and if you maintain it well, you should be able to sell it for what you paid for it. If you buy a boat and can't afford to maintain it, you will lose a lot of money.

If you buy a boat and improve it, you can frequently sell it for more than what you paid for it.

Keeping and maintaining a 34 foot boat costs a fair amount of money. I am sure that some will disagree with me, but I would suggest that if you can't easily afford $7,500.00 a year to keep her going, then don't consider buying her.

You will do far better to buy a 27 to 30 footer in better condition, and keep it in tip-top shape. If and when you decide to sell - you'll get your money back.
