How's the boat? New engine or repair?

It's running. We're just heading off to fill our water tank now.
It's so beautiful where we are: nature reserve, friendly people fishing, dog walkers, and other boaters.
We will definitely get a new engine installed - already ordered.
It's too much stress that distracts from the whole point of living this way, to turn the keys not knowing if it will start.

Sounds idyllic and yeah, why add that additional stress if you can get the engine instaled and remove it; no point in accepting the stress.

True! Best long-term solution that will put us in better standing when ready to sell.
Smaller boats go easily because people like to have them as weekend boats too. So it's more of an investment.

Yep, seems totally legit. Good plan.
