I have always had half an eye on the next boat up. I wonder around boat shows looking at Princess, Fairline and Absolute models think wouldn't it be great if...
But I wonder, would it? I really enjoyed having the BMB, but then I had loads of fun with my Bayliner and the ChrisCraft before that. I had all these ideas of long weekends away with guests on board, but in reality I only went into the second cabin to fix stuff in the electrics cupboard behind it.
I can count on one hand the number of trimes I have cooked on board any of the boats over three seasons and mainly it was just me and SWMBO on board!
So as I find myself waiting for boat number 4, my smallest yet, and I wonder if I will have any less fun using it. Ok, so I have a commercial resaon for down sizing, but when I look at what I used the BMB for, bar a great trip to the CI's at Easter it was really short hops around the solent.
I still look at the bigger stuff, and still would very much like to be in a position to run a boat 45ft plus, but I wonder if I would actually get any more enjoyment out of it over blasting around on a sports boat. Just a thought...
