high hour/ no hour boat ?'s

I just read another thread and It was asking about a ski school boat.This brought up the age old question of a high hour heavily weighted boat.Doesn't it seem like if you run a boat hard {Any CIE guy's) with alot of wieght that any issues are going to surface sooner than later? Kind of like the old work truck vs. the new truck theory, Been throught the ringer and If it hasn't broke yet it aint going to break. I would love a new boat don't get me wrong. But I would almost rather have someone else go through the hassle's of fixing all the little things before me. But I would not buy one of Schwennes old boats......HAHA thats a little excessive even for my better judgment.I've seen alot of low hour boats in worse shape than a freinds boat thats always slammed, That being said if he would take the 35 grand I keep offering I would buy his boat.
