We live a long way from our vessel, but we are safely retired. Many in our marina do likewise. If you have good watchers and yards available for hire that may be an option provided you can get to the vessel several times a season to work it out.

Also, many lay their boats up for 6 or 7 months during winter seasons. Would your situation be much different?

But, the costs to safely store the vessel vs the vessel's worth need to be taken into account. Me, I followed the money, every time. Bought and sold a lot of boats doing it.
