Too many boats.. what would you do?

Give me the Arima & keep the Grady.

You really only have 1 choice for all you want to do with it and I'm pretty sure you already know what that is.

I would sell all 3 and buy a 27 Orca xlc

appreciate all the feedback guys! I must say.. its only made the decision harder.

Arima.. super simple, reliable and functional.

Grady.. just quality and safety.

Trophy.. comfort.

Ill make sure to keep the group informed once i decide to list a few!!

As much as I hate to say it, I’d vote for the podded trophy. Pilothouse boats are so great in this environment. It would be hard to part with the old battle wagon 232, I’m sure.

Does the solution need to fit your existing slip? Maybe sell all of them and build/ buy your ideal 26-27 pilothouse.

Well I am a podded Trophy owner (albeit a 2052) and I know yours has got a nice pod on it but I’d be keeping the Grady 232, for what it’s worth.

1-2 trips to WCVI, the rest local from Milltown, fall chinook run, and family boating/camping. Trophy has the better cabin for most of your use. You already know boats are a compromise as you own 3!

How often are you sitting in the cabin?? 99% of my time is spent on the dance floor.

Lol, that was going to be my response, but I may just be a wee bit biased!

 

[zurk]

easy. just keep the arima, get rid of the rest and buy a 40' trawler which can fit the arima as a tender.

Is your new place on the waterfront? Need a boat for commuting? Or is the new place just a red herring?

All boats are a compromise. Budget, capabilities, comfort, maintenance requirements. You know best the compromises of the boats you've got now.

Based on your brief explanation of uses I'd think the Trophy is the best compromise of the boats you've got.
