cool. Well if it's worth the 30K to you, then go for it. They do last a long time, and they are fun. I think for well under 30K you can find one that works for you. there are used ones all over the place.. because there is a major amount of buyers remorse on boats. 15-30K on a car is something you use every day, a big percentage of people end up realizing that it's not worth the hassle. But plenty do find it worth it. So whatever floats your potential boat.
