I toy with that same idea of upgrading all the time. But I remind myself of the sayings - don't leave fish to find fish. And, The fish don't care how much you paid.
I have an older beater boat that is perfect for getting me on fish but not looking like a chick magnet. I've had it for 25-30 years (cant remember exactly how long) and caught countless fish on it in almost every body of water in Utah. Maybe she won't handle a force 4 gale, but I ain't fishing in water that should be sailed with 80 feet of water line. She ain't pretty by any metric but she's mine and paid for many times over.
The grass always seems greener on the other side, but consider also that the predators could know that too.
