The biggest issue is to make sure you can afford it. I would budget around 5% of the purchase price for annual repairs and maintenance and minor upgrades. I would also reserve 10-15% of the purchase price for major repairs that will happen atleast every 5 years. This is on a boat that is in good condition. If its below average condition its likely that you could spend in excess of 100% of the purchase price refurbishing it. Add on storage, fuel cost, and insurance. Some of these guys have totally diferent boating lifestyles. Sea-dated boats on a lake that never gets above 3-4ft swells. If your planning on boating in the great lakes and going out in rough water you will not have the same maintenance schedule.
