I'm not sure about that saying that the 2 happiest days in a boat owners life are the days he buys it and the day he sells it.

I just sold my boat for all the right reasons and even tho I hadnt had the chance to use it over the past 2 years, I miss it already.

It will be hard being boatless for the first time in 12 years.
 
Boatless is a non-terminal condition for which there is a very easy remedy. :)

Paul,sorta kinda going thru a similar situation tho I still have my '93, 37C. Will be 72 this July & altho I feel 50; the yacht is growing about 3' per year. No help what so ever & so far been able to keep it in pristeen condition. Don't want to downsize as I don't want to give up the ammenities. It serves as my summer home as I'm there Fri thru Monday. I also use it for more than a summer home. Paul, I feel your pain.
 
Paul, I totally get that feeling. I put my heart and soul into my former boat - nearly shed a tear when the new owners pulled her out of our driveway for the very last time. My situation was softened because the new boat was sitting right next to the house - hate to think how it would have felt otherwise.
 
Paul, I have the perfect remedy for you...buy my trawler. :)
 
Cheer up Paul. Warm your feet up by the fire. Ponder all the bottom work and fix it chores you don't have. Cleanse your pallet with some 'Boat Show' droule. Lie down for a long winter's nap.

See ya on the Rip!

In a heartbeat I would! If I could...

the sad part is that instead of looking at boat shows and dealer lots, I am looking at lawn tractors and landscaping bricks...
 
My boat is up for sale. And this time it will be a happy time. I am tired of the Admiral bitching about it.

I had the same feeling. I sold my boat after being on the market for 1 year. I have found boat shows coupled with beers helps!
 
We dont have much in the boat show category around here. Hopefully in a few years I can pick up an old center console. Hate to totally waste living on a river.
 
George,
I'm surprised no one jumped on that. - I would have thought you would have elicited a number of "time for a new admiral" comments ;)

Get (or build) a little Row boat for fishing in the local lakes.
 
I tool up kayaking shortly before selling my power boat, and love it! It's cheap, it doesn't require fuel, and best of all, you can do it anywhere there's water.

Still have my powerboat but kayaking has a lot going for it! It's getting to be about the only kind of boating some folks can afford!
 
I have a couple of kayaks Tim. We hope to use them quite a bit as long as the Perquimans doesnt get too snotty... Also hoping to take the kayaks when we go camping.
