I'd say you're ready for an upgrade, but a couple of years ago I upgraded from 1977 to 1996, so don't rush into anything. Maybe you can swap with the B in law and get his duo prop when he's ready to trade?
The earlier post about a survey may be worth thought. Some years ago I replaced the engine in my 1986 SeaRay with a similar engine from a Four Winns. The structural wood in the Four Winns, similar vintage, had all rotted and the boat was junked, even though the engine was good.
