OK, if it isjust a time issue, just keep it and get it going w/ as little as it takes. Next winter, do a full rebuild of both engines and drives, and take care of any other rigging.
If its a monetary issue, do the math.
What will it take to do what i just mentioned, plus where you're at, minus what you would've paid for a mint 28, and there is your loss.
Then take what kirk will bid for it as is, and figure your loss.

I'm in the same position right now - sorta.
I have NO intention of selling my boat though.
I just have a long list of things I need to get done, and a small checkbook, as well as a full day planner (I don't actually use one, but you know what I mean). And yeah, my energy level at the end of the day is nil.
I work on it as I have time/money/energy.
Everybody I know is asking me when I'm gonna splash it.
My answer is simple - "When it's ready". I'm sure I won't get everything done that I want done before it sees the water, but I'll know when I'm ready to launch. And everything else that needs done (in my mind) will get done as I have the time/money/energy.
You're boat and my boat are both ones that don't come for sale very often, and go quick when they do. And there is always somebody looking for one of these. The guys in Europe are buying these types of rigs left and right now.
Hold on to it, enjoy it, and finish it as time allows.

It took us four years to get ours in the water. I still have a lot of small stuff to do but I can run it !
After all the time and money I spent on it I was getting frustrated and almost sold it a few times.
Last Sunday we finally ran it. After getting up on plane and nailing the throttle you could not wipe the smiles off our faces.
KEEP IT!
