Currently own two boats (used for different purposes in different parts of the world)
One for 25 years, the other for 13 years. No expectation of selling either for a long time
First boat 5 years, next boat 11 years, current boat 12 years so far. It will be my last boat.
It is nice to see so many people happy with their older boats and have no intention of selling them
First boat, owned by parents and a friend, sailed on when new in about 1977 until last year. I over the years bought out the friend and then my parents, so wholly owned by me for a good 25 years. Now purchased another boat that I'm throwing money at to get how I want, and should be a keeper until I finish boating.
Had my own Cadet on my 11th birthday, though I had to pay my parents back for most of it over a few years. Taught me about money and saving though !
