I have a boat on the east coast and before I moved out here, I was still using the kayak more than the boat.The maintenance is definitely a factor but it's much less of an issue if you buy a good brand and have a modern 4stroke or an etec and do the regular maintenance. If you can spend the dough on something really solid, go for it. If you're going to buy an older boat do yourself a favor and go through every inch of it with a fine tooth comb and always have a toolbox and a working radio.
