Thinking twice.
After you buy the item, hence the boat, don't you feel that maybe you should have went for the other model? We were set on a flybridge for the extreme comfort that's for sure, I don't believe we can ever go back to a cruiser. But has anyone bought a model then thought, crap, maybe I should of bought the other one? Just curious because I can't believe I'm the only one.

Re: Twice thinking
That being said, I never had buyers remorse, just upgraded to what suited me at the time. Went from a 23 to a 28 to a 32 to a 41. Loved every boat I had and kept them all for quite some time. With every upgrade I was more than satisfied and at the time thinking I would never need an upgrade, well that did not work out as planned. I have been fortunate to be able to enjoy boating as I like to and boat when I want to. To be honest, would not have changed a thing if I could go back in time.
Seen too many get into boating only to realize boating is not just sitting in the cockpit on a warm sunny day with a drink in your hand looking only at what they perceive as glamour. Nothing glamorous about being on a boat unless you are in an executive suite of a cruise ship. Need to be practical and not be afraid of a little elbow grease every now and then. Have been around boats since I was 8 and hope to be around boats until my body permits, just love everything about being on the water, rowboat or yacht it does not matter as long as the water is clean and better yet warm enough to go for a dip.

Re: Twice thinking
Only issue is will that gem get sold before you sell yours? Large boats with dual gas suckers are not exactly hot ticket items right now. Then again the new tariffs slapped on last year and the low Canadian dollar might actually help selling locally or to an American. Rather surprised by your sudden change of mind.
