Exactly. I have two boats and use them every week up to multiple times. Couldn’t imagine not having one.

Only time I’ve sold is to upgrade

Actually that is genius idea let your money work for you. If you get stranded not your problem. No engine issues batteries, maintenance rip the Lower units off not your problem.
Don’t buy depreciating assets.

Relying on someone else every time you want to go fishing, sit on the beach at the island or just cruise is no way to live, man...

You have a car or truck? Or do you walk everywhere?

That whole "happiest day is when you sell it" BS is just that, BS. Of all my non-nessecities, the boat would be the last one I'd let go. I'd quit every other hobby before I sold my boat.

I use this old saying far too often and it's saved me time, money and heartache over the years.

got news for you. Stranded is stranded no matter whose boat you’re in. Knowing it probably wouldn’t have happened in my boat would piss me off even more
