Don’t rule out cruising the Canals. Did that a couple years ago, it was a blast.

If we find a boat we can sail home it saves a lot of cash and would certainly be a lot more fun, or "exciting"...

From Lake Ontario or Lake Erie, the cost should not exceed $5-6k and can be much less if you are lucky enough to catch an empty run. For a freshwater boat, it might be worth it. I bought my current boat (smaller, mind you) over 2000 km from home and had it transported for under $3k. Your distance is half that.

Coming from a much smaller boat, you may find this size to be a more suitable for a move up. I have a friend in Erie who may be interested in selling his (fresh water boat, at least for the past decade or so) if you think this might be an option. His boat has been underused but maintained during his tenure.

The 40 was just too much boat. 40 is a great size but everything is so much more expensive. Little things that add up like bottom paint. We took 9 years from big boats, bought a j24 to race with the kids and then 3 years ago bought our 1980 C&C 36. It is the perfect size boat for a couple and occasional weekend with guests.
