Two Happy Days

Postby feeez » June 21st, 2018, 10:36 pm

When the admiral and I bought our first boat 10 years ago some one told me that the two happiest days of ones boating life was the day you bought your first boat and the day to sell your last boat.

We have decided this year to leave the boating world and we have put our Carver 350 up for sale. Among other reasons one of the primary ones is the length (or short) of our season up here. This year was especially trying as we didn't get the boat in the water until nearly the end of May. It is a lot of work and $$$ for 4 months of use.

When she finally sells it will not be a happy day but just a time to move on to other adventures.

This forum has been invaluable to me the advice and guidance I have received up here has been second to none. Thanks to you all for helping me steer through to becoming and competent DIY boater.

I am sure I will still drop by to see what you all are discussing and read along with the banter back a forth.

Cheers

I hope all works well and keep the adventures going.
There are two types of boaters. The wealthy and the DIY's. The wealthy dont care about cost and the DIY's accept the cost, the rest are the ones who are happiest when they buy and sell.

I have never been happy to see a boat go. Always happy when a new one finds its way to me.

Sorry to hear that Fraser. I agree the season is far too short and the last 2-3 have been painful but the fun and memories I pack into that short a time makes all the expense and hard work worth while. Hope you stick around and continue to impart your knowledge in our community.

Fraser say it aint so....good luck man, but remember that two day thing pretty much applies to whatever you buy and sell...keep the shiny side up....... :beergood: .... :beergood: ...... :beergood:
The above is strictly my opinion always based on years of doing...remember to support local business , it pays back.

Interesting you should mention snowmobiling Fred...... This is made by the same company that makes Ski Doo!!!! As I said.... "new adventures" ahead.
