I'd sell my boat in a heartbeat to move to Hawaii! And get another when I got there!

Good luck buying a boat there! The selection is nothing close to here. If you were on the West Coast it would be cheaper to ship it over then to purchase on ethere I bet.
Last time there I fished on a charter and he had to come to the mainland to get anything close to what he wanted.

re: get a boat on the West coast
and you'll probably want one with better gas mileage... Gas there is expensive! I think most things are.
I spent a month there on Oahu a few yrs ago on a project, it was fun, I learned to surf(in Waikiki), went to the big Island(the newest island in the group - there's another coming up, but last I knew it was still about 1,000 feet below the surface) and toured all over it, including the Volcano Nat. park to see the Volcanos and watch the lava flow into the Ocean. Still want to go to Kuai and Maui (and some of the smaller islands).
I'm not sure I could live there. After a yr or so, I think I'd get bored. It took me about 3-5 hrs (depending on how often I stopped to go swim/explore) to make one loop around the island. It is definitely a different way of life. It is pretty there, everything is so green. Although I didn't get a chance to scuba dive or do a fish charter, I did some snorkeling and that was fun, I actually came across a sea turtle and swam with that for a few minutes.(on the North Shore - later on, I watched the surfing competition there) I enjoyed the Polynesian Cultural center, went to the Lu'au there(awesome pig, poi was not so good but I had to try it) and the fire torches show after. Also toured all of the villages and saw the rainbows of paradise canoe pageant they had. Very interesting history of all the different cultures there. It was interesting to see how each area was slightly different. I definitely recommend going to see that.
Hope you have a good time there!

I haven't researched the market in your area but at first glance, that looks like a good deal on the boat. Sharp looking boat at that. Good luck on the sale and the move.
