Re: #$%@ wedding ring!
I say, go for the bigger boat - if you work hard at it and price it right, your 29 will sell. Life is short, never know what tomorrow will bring, and if you can get some quality time in a 35 WITH the wife, she'll quickly understand why you "had" to have it! She likes boating, that is half the battle. 
Also wouldn't hurt - and a little something my hubby did when we had our 30' Formula, and we bought 38' Cigarette (!! love that boat), buy her just a little bling. If new boat has blue in graphics, buy her little blue saphire stud earings, or red get garnets or rubies. Not that much $, and it will go a LOOONNNNNNGGG way! Believe me. Good luck

... the trade in offer is still good, so, maybe, just "fishing" a little (and someone could get a he11 of a deal). If moderator kills this thread, thats OK, too.

And, The last payment on the Donzi is in 2 weeks and I just got a raise that will pay most of the new boat payment without even figuring in what the previous payment has been.
