Bob, you have a great little 16. The green really makes it stand out.
I understand that life happens, but FWIW I think you should try and keep the boat as it is a family heirloom at this point. It's not eating much compared to a big boat, and it could be pickled and covered until you get the urge to get out on the water in it again. Just my 2c, but having something with that many lifelong memories attached to it is pretty special and cannot be replicated.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do!
