Sold my boat today...

Crap on that. Buy new boat . Take kids with you. The day my rig leaves behind someone else truck is day I'm picking up my new boat. Seriously take the chaps fishing and off the iPad

Just sold mine because I have a kid on the way and it looks like I'm moving to texas at the same time. When I saw the boat pass me om the road later the morning I sold it, I about cried.

I had to drop my price after 2 weeks of no solid action, but I got the full reduced asking price.

Got exactly what I paid for it 5 years ago. (minus anything I invested into it, ie gps/fish finder, bimini top, etc.)

There is plenty of water over here. Fishing isn't bad either.

I know the feeling. Sold both of mine in the past year. They were honestly too big for what I have time to do anymore. I will be picking up something smaller though. Also probably a (don't hate) pontoon boat to take the kids joyriding on.

prayers sent

Go get another one, I take my just turned 1 yo on the boat with me every chance I can. We might only stay out for an hour or so, but its better than nothing. Lot of times, I will fish early, and have the wife and him meet me at the launch around 10 or so. Pull up on an island or sand bar and give him lunch, usually falls asleep in the truck on the way home. Trying to break him in early, so as soon as he is old enough to fish, he will be used to the boat already.

Nothing happy about the day I sold my boat.

I usually just throw them in the water when they aggravate me enough. It's a win win. I get out a little frustration and they think it's fun because they get to swim.

i felt the same way about my first marriage.

i don't think i'll ever not own a boat again, unless i'm so old i can't even leave the house.
