A lot of thought is needed when buying any type of motor vehicle,  the same rules apply to boats. Firstly you have to decide the reason for buying the boat. Mostly people buy it for fun and recreation therefore you need to make sure that the boat serves its purpose well.

There are a number of pleasure boats available for various recreational activities, so you'll need to narrow your scope to those you plan to engage in. Remember also that experience plays a big part in your decision. If you have no experience with large crafts, keep your first boat to a manageable size. It's easy to run into unfamiliar territory until you become adept at being a sailor.
