You can't quietly do anything, boat or no boat, especially when the blues are around...
You have the most economical boat for its size that you've ever owned, you had it custom outfitted as close to what you want as humanly possible, you have an engine that can protect itself even from you (hence my visit out to Conimicut that day
), the boat is big enough for you to ENJOYABLY run around south of PJ from your slip but still small enough that you can top it off with gas cans. And you want to trade all of that it for an extra foot, oil changes, and probably 10 grand? Are we going to have another winter of you being confused and flip flopping back & forth and you driving Sheila ^&$**

? In all seriousness, you got a sweet boat, outfitted the way you want, Status Quo manno....
