NADA has it for $54k, I know I wont get that but it is close to my payoff. I think Im gonna go ahead and let her go come October
That's what happened in this situation, we had just got together and got stupid and bought it. Im not saying we cant afford to keep it, we do ok financially. But the way im looking at it is whats the point in having this expensive arse boat and payin the note on something that I really wont use like it needs to be used for 3-4 years, if not longer. Im just thinkin, let her go now... actually save my pennies and make a smarter decision down the road with the lil ones get old enough.....

some people dont care about the cost, just the montly note

Put it for sale now with your dream price on it. Come down later in the summer. I just sold my ranger for the same reason. I didn't want to sell until September, but put it for sale for the highest I could find online. Ended up selling for more than I purchased (I didn't buy new though, had 30 hrs when I got it)

From a boat addict: Been there done that (5kids) Do not think another second. Sell the boat, another day will come and you can get a boat later,
This is about family not about self. Those kids will be and should be your world. Your wife should be your priority and she needs to know that.
Your main priority right now is family. Build it, work on it, focus on it and a few years down the road when the kids are bigger- the conversation will come up about a boat and time will be right to get another one.
One other piece of advice- Unless you are filthy rich don't buy a new boat- there are so many boats on the market with less than 60 hours it will blow your mind.
