OP: I would personally go "newer" if possible. Especially if you're living aboard. Things break all the time, at least with a newer boat things will hopefully break less. Lol.
I just moved up to a 2005 a few weeks ago. Its nice to look around and know that certain items won't need replacing for a long time....versus, say if it was a 1995 boat.
But hey, there are always exceptions. You may find a great, older, well kept boat for a low price. There are always deals out there. But you can't go wrong with a newer boat. You sometimes CAN go wrong with an older boat.
