[QUOTE="thill, post: 494039, member: 4972"] ^^^This^^^ Buy the stuff that you will use, and take it to the next boat if you upgrade. But that being said, start scanning for boats in your area that may fit your needs better. Sometimes, if your rig is clean and nice, you can sell it for more than what someone else is asking for the boat you want. I have done this many times. A friend had a nice, clean, but old classic Mako 21. It was big and very heavy, but wow, was it seaworthy. He sold it for $17k and traded up to a newer 24' bay boat for $12k. Everyone was happy in the end, especially him. So, either rig your boat the way you want, or look for a 2-foot bigger boat. There may be little difference in the price. If you go that route, I strongly suggest you look and buy NOW, as spring is coming quickly, and prices will go up soon. If you can afford it, buy while the price is good, and then list yours and be patient until someone offers you what you can take. [/QUOTE]
