We have both boats on the block. If one sells, we'll most likely keep the
other. I like them both, for different reasons. If both should sell this
season, it presents a new dilemma .... what to look for next. Maybe a GB
49?

I am just tired of worrying about two of them.

As we both know there is no such thing as the perfect boat. If you
are really going to cut back to one you have to think long and hard
about how you want to use it, and how much maintenance you are
comfortable with.

The larger GBs like the 46, 49 and up are great liveaboard/cruising
boats but slow and high maintenance. If we ever give up on long
distance cruising I'd seriously think about going back to a mid-30s
sportfish. They are big enough to be sea worthy and halfway
comfortable in bad weather, big enough for weekend cruising, as well
as being reasonably fast and fun for just zipping around..
