Well, I am considering a couple of new purchases. I can afford a new Tacoma and a 3-4K boat, or a used truck and a newer $8-10K boat. Thinking a 16-17' Lund with a 40-60 hp motor. What do y'all think makes more sense?

Buy what you can pay cash for. Well, that's what I'm saying. Which one makes more sense if you have 40K to spend?

In the end you need to do what is best for you.
So, I should spend more on the one I am more likely to pick up chicks in? Got It!

I bought a new pickup. Two years later it had "depreciated" 50%. I'd buy a 2 yr old pickup and a used boat. You use the pickup every day year round. The boat, not so much.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

I think yout transportation needs should be met first. But, for me, a boat is also needed. Think it over and you will do the right thing.
If your mind draws a blank, turn off the sound, because ya can't learn a thing if you're doin all the talkin

Boat will hold value longer than the pick up. This Hence, the dilemma, these Toyotas seem to hold value like a fishen boat. I'm leaning towards the new truck and cheap boat for a couple years, then upgrading the boat. I suspect, I will be spending much more time in the truck than the boat for the next couple of years. On the other hand, if someone knows where I can get a low miles Tacoma cheap, I'm all ears!

buy a used boat an a used truck an invest the rest you will be better off in long run This^ Let some other fool take the hit on the truck when it's driven off the lot. You can pick up one to two year old trucks still under warranty from fools. The boat ain't nothing but a hole in the water you throw your cash into. So buy a used but solid hull and use that cash to build it your way
