  1. I live in St. Augustine but dont think it will fit your criteria. You won't get anything with a dock in that price range(except a doublewide on a canal in treasure beach 7 or 8 miles from the inlet). The best blue water trolling is 50+ miles offshore. Bottom fishing can be great in closer but with the red snapper closure who knows? In the late fall and winter the weather can be cold and windy. Some months you may only get 4 or 5 days where the weather will allow you to fish. Palm Coast does have very affordable homes on canals. The big problem is you will have a 25+ mile ride to the inlet(ponce to the south or st augustine to the north). You will also have the cold windy weather and the long ride out once you have cleared the inlet. Palm beach county would be a good choice. Granted you are not in North Florida but the weather can be 20+degrees warmer at night and 10-15 degrees warmer in the daytime. Definitely not too hot in the fall and winter. Clear the inlet and go 1 or 2 miles and you are in 100+ feet of water with lines in the water. Even if the wind is blowing 15-20 you can still fish since you don't have to go very far. Another option might be fort pierce. (hutchinson island, jenson beach)
  2. I would spend the money and repower. Trouble free operation for the next 5 years. Fuel saved. If you decide to sell you will recoup some of your investment. If not, quieter, more efficient less repairs!!
