Ask yourself these questions and answer them honestly before signing that purchase contract. Do you want something you can put on a trailer and haul from waterway to waterway? Is entertaining guests with cocktails at sundown the primary motivation for your purchase? Will you do a lot of overnighting? Do your kids have plans to water-ski and wakeboard? Each of these is a valid reason to buy a boat, and each will lead you to a different boat.
Next, go for a sea trial to see if you enjoy being on the boat underway. There's a difference between a sea trial and a boat ride, though; if what you're really looking for is a joyride around the lake on a nice afternoon, rent a boat or go out with a friend instead. Otherwise you may gain a reputation as a tire-kicker and time-waster. [links]
After the sea trial, it's best if you have the boat hauled before buying. There's a reason why most surveyors will not consider their job complete if the boat remains in the water too much is hidden below the waterline, and what you can't see below the surface can be crucial to your safety and enjoyment.
How thoroughly should you inspect a boat before you buy? That depends, but if this is a major purchase it's important to dig deep, beyond what the seller wants you to see—especially if you're trying to figure out why a particular deal looks a little too good to be true. If you're not sure whether a particular boat is worth a closer look, start with a walkaround.
