Is an older yacht good or bad

We've been looking at a number of 1986 - 1990 Hatteras, Tolycraft, and Ocean Alexanders in the 48ft - 53ft range. I need some opinions. The broker we're working with feels these boats are too old and will be very hard if not impossible to resell in 5-6 yrs. He's also concerned about maintenance of an older boat.
He feels we should be looking at newer but smaller. Can you folks provide any opinions.

Bad if low engine hours. Good if it has higher. You will find many investor/owners dumping large $$$ into a boat only to sell it for a fraction. Beware of them. Best boat I had was a 44 Striker with twin Detroit's. Had 5000+ hrs on her when I sold it 10 yrs later.
