Advice welcome!

Retiring this week. We will continue to live in Central Florida for one more year, then able to relocate. We have another year here while my daughter finishes High School. My wife and I are then planning to move to the East Coast of Florida, more to the south of Orlando, Boca, Deerfield, Lauderdale...

As a new/old hobby, my wife and I are thinking of taking up boating/fishing when we relocate. I've been looking at the SeaCrafts for years. I've owned one back in 1980, a 23 Sceptre. My brother had one back in the mid 70s.

One idea is to take the year we are stuck in Orlando and use it to renew a SeaCraft which would be ready for that relocation in a year. My inclination is a Center Console 23.

Should I take to two aspirins and lay down until the feeling passes or get after it? lol It really is the only hope we have of sharing the same hobby so to speak.

The general idea is to relocate to a home on the water with a spot for the yacht outside the door. Most likely fishing scenarios would be slightly offshore most of the time with hopefully the option to run a couple of times a year across to the Bahamas..on those days when the weather is favorable.

Your comments, wisecracks and otherwise are greatly appreciated as I've thick enough skin and am old enough to handle it.
