Yup if you don’t have deep pockets or ability to do maintenance on you Typing out how much we pay just to leave boat at marina makes me question my sanity. We’ve considered going bigger but man going back to a trailerable boat I could have so much more cash to invest

Im more if a “rip it out and put in new glass” mindset. No way I’d want a repair like that nor would I want to buy a boat with such a repair.
