Sorry to say, but go ahead and sell it.
When we started popping out kids, the fishing trips got fewer and fewer.
I'm one of those guys that wanted to be with family as much as possible.
The boat is suffering due to lack of use for the past 4 years.
Now that the kids are older, I'm about to sell the old boat and get something larger that the whole family can go fishing in.

You need to sit down with the Mrs. and truly determine how much you will use it. If shes the type that has to have you home all the time then sell it, if she's like mine and can deal with you away a weekend or two a month than keep her.

If you cant use regularly its just gonna sit and deperciate and the worst thing for a boat is to sit up and not use it. If wont use alot sell and when kiddo's are old enough to fish buy anoter rig.

Also can just look at chartering if you will only fish a couple times a year, will be alot cheaper in the long run.

First question will be to determine if you are upside down on the boat as far as what you can sell it for and what you owe. While it may make the most sense to sell it if you take a loss may not be in the end.

On the flip side with a 4 yo and 2 yo at the house I have gone from hunting ducks 45 days a season and fishing 3 times/week until kids arrived. It will be MUCH more difficult to keep the boat and feel like you are using it.
