Congratulations. A very nice position to be in.


I don't know. Second thoughts are kicking in.

I could rationalize selling the Navigator because it's very unlikely we
would ever use it for it's intended purpose again. And even if we did,
fuel costs have become a serious consideration for taking unnecessary
trips, even though the Navigator was very fuel efficient. When I took
that boat to Florida back in 2001, the total fuel bill was about
2,400-2,600 bucks. To do that same trip today would probably cost close
to 10K, if not more.

Plus, we had it for almost 8 years and it was time to move on.

I have to admit, that slow as it is and old as it is, I had a lot of fun
last summer on the GB. Mechanically it is fundamentally very sound and it
has quite a few "updates" to bring it up to snuff. It literally looks
like a model. But even still, it had a lot of woodwork, teak decks, etc.
and it kept me busy for the summer. Plus, it has a full fuel tank that
would probably last me for a couple of years of local boat trips at the
rate it sips fuel.

I am really wrestling with "what's next". I've looked at a few used
boats and have come to realize that both the Navigator and the older GB
are in outstanding condition for their age compared to what's for sale out
there.

I think you need to pull it off the market until you come to terms with this
and make a final decision on what you really want to happen.
