I think you'll miss the GB if you sell it. They have a certain warmth
and charm totally missing in other boats. Besides, where will you and
Sam Adams go to hide out?

I think we have close to the ideal combination with the GB49 for
serious cruising and a fast runabout for just riding around or
fishing.



I really did not expect both boats to sell within a month of each other.
When the Navigator sold, I was content, looking forward to another season
with the GB while I kept my eye out for something else. But .... if it's
in your head to sell anytime soon, you can't ignore serious offers. If the
GB had twins, we would likely not be selling it. Even though I got pretty
good with the "back and fill" maneuver for docking last year, I still feel
much more comfortable with twins, for many reasons.

I am just getting a little bummed out looking for a replacement boat and
seeing the condition that some of the used boats are in. They look great in
the listing pictures, but the ones I've inspected were very disappointing or
had major refurbishment requirements. I really don't want to do "new"
again.

I've pretty much exhausted current potentials in this area. I may fire up
the little Sprinter RV soon and take a leisurely trip southward, stopping at
marinas and brokerages. I suspect I'll find something somewhere that
catches my eye.
