    Buying a falcon

    Any concerns purchasing an f 215? The boats look great and look to handle big water well?

    Great looking boats with a great list of standard equipment. That being said its still a young company so hard to say on longevity and if they will be around long term. All that is a guessing game at this point.

    Layout is sweet and I like the fact it's mostly fiberglass and not a lot of plastic bits.
    Resale is concerning.

    Ponder this.......if you buy a new 20' Skeeter/Pheonix/Bass Cat/Ranger/ETC for 65K use it 2 years and sell for 50K......OR.....buy a 20' Falcon for 55K use it 2 years and sell for 40K, which one did you lose more money on?

    Kind of a trick question. From the #'s correct, both lose the same amount. But you still paid more sales taxes, property taxes (depending on the state), and boat insurance based on the increased value of the 65K boat. So, you still lose more on the 65K boat on way or another. Resale value may be a concern to some, but it's a concern on all brands IMO.
