Honestly though, asside from your own personal enjoyment of the car.. that 1/4 mile car won't be any fun for anyone else unless they don't mind watching you. Something made for 1 purpose, you the owner can figure out how tame it is to but you probably wouldn't let anyone else race it, muchless drive it down the street and back.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a 10.5 1/4 mile drag car, but you can bet you'll spending a lot of time working on it. If you can't justify working on it, and only legally driving it on a race track, then I wouldn't do it otherwise go for it.
I'd keep the boat myself, sell it; don't trade it. That car might have more problems than it seems, even if there's a lot of shadetree work done on it, that's still a problem to me regardless if it runs 10.5s or not.
