Having previously owned one and biased I would have to say Foolish unless you are vastly over the normal weight range.
Whatever you do though negotiate hard for a price reduction. If the secondhand boat list is up to date some of the boats on it have been hanging around a long time now which would suggest to me its a buyers market if they are truly serious about selling.
