Good advice, let me just add, whatever you do, don't get
fooled into buying a Mac 26M. You'll regret it, BIG TIME!

Before you make a decision, I think you ought to check out
typical
prices on boats such as yours in Michigan and compare that
with the
prices of those available in Corpus or Houston (which is a
short trip
from Corpus), less the costs of bringing your boat down. -
It's pretty
easy to do on yachtworld.com or the like, and you will
find that there
are lots of boats for sale here. For example, if you will
be sailing
offshore extensively, you might want to think about a
somewhat larger
boat. Of course, if your boat is in good condition and
you're
particularly attached to it, that's another factor.

I am hoping for some genuine help from a native guide.

My wife just got a new assignment in Corpus Christi. I
can’t think of
any good reason to try to stay in Michigan and watch
while the economy
here circles the drain.

We have an S2-7.9 on a trailer that we got to race and
trailer cruise.
I know longer own a tow-vehicle and have gotten by
borrowing one for
local moves.

I have found a J-24 fleet, but can not identify much
other keel boat
racing and the charts (nice- have the available on the
web now) do not
look like there is much cruising ground.

Question: Is it worth my while to drag this boat to
Corpus
Christi/Rockford?
