    Can anyone help me find Grady White decals

    they really made a big visual impact. between that and a new stripe, the boat looks much newer. next up will be dropping the bow rail and that will complete my visual updating project

    Would it be worth it to move up?

    im not saying that due to price, im saying that due to a home being a requirement and appreciating asset vs a boat being a luxury item and a depreciating asset. also, where are you finding homes for $115k? im not sure that would buy a single wide trailer most places
