The boat that I will likely regret buying shortly after making the purchase which is likely sometime in the next year or so.

wow that is low miles!
You should trust that part of you that says it's a good idea.
For anyone wondering why the 7.3 has such a following: they’ve got a reputation for being bomb-proof, without the DEF/DPF/EGR stuff on newer diesels. Not the fastest or quietest thing out there, but a solid workhorse. Finding one with 88k that hasn’t been worked to death is the unusual part with this one and why I’m still not convinced selling it is in my best interest.
I mean, it's less of a "budget in mind" and more "budget constraints." I'm not in the "has no budget concerns" tax bracket.
bathrooms...back in Half Moon Bay, over the years had remodeled most of the beach home we had raised our three kids in myself...when the time came to refresh the master bathroom hired a contractor friend. What started out as a refresh turned into a 25K remodel, and that was 22 years ago. When we sold the house to move to Oregon the wife of the couple that bought it said she fell in love with the bathroom.

Man I would love that truck! Problem is I got a 2010 Silverado with 90K miles for less than half that over 4 years ago. Diesel is amazing for towing but the cost difference is way waaaaaaaaay beyond worth it. You need to absolutely need it to and it worthwhile.
Thank you for talking others here into alternatives

lol sorry. Believe me that is my dream truck. I just can’t believe what people pay for these things.
Bought the early 99 Superduty 7.3 new in 1998 , no doubt the best truck I have had for reliability . Traded in 2014 for a 2014 Ram Cummins also a very nice truck . Only reason was needing more torque for a bigger fifth wheel I had bought . In hindsight sorta wished I would stayed with a smaller fifth wheel ,and the 7.3 . My good friend, and fishing buddy drives a 2002 Superduty 7.3 , he got his because I had one ,he's still driving ,and towing with his ,going strong . Someone is going to get a terrific truck from Evan .
I fully had plans to hang on to this thing for a very long time. If not for the financial situation between remodel(s) and college tuition, it'd be a permanent fixture in my driveway. I know I'll be like you and wished I had kept it, but being responsible is hard.
Mine was the 4 door crew cab short bed 350, it was a nice looking truck . Yours as well, It will sell . This Cummins I got now will be my last one , at my age my towing days will wear out before that Cummins .
