Please make me feel better, surely I can\'t be the only one?

Just put my (IMO) lovely Winner Cobra up for sale on eBay.

As I was listing it I was just doing a mental totting up of what I have spent on this old thing.... and came to the conclusion that although I have greatly enjoyed the experience (and the boat), actually I need locking up. So I'm just off to The Priory for some R&R, but before the private Ambulance arrives, please make me feel better and let me know I'm not the only one to pour money into an irrational project!!

Edit by Dan - sorry, we don't allow links to auction sites.

It is one beautiful boat and you should be proud of it !

Some people lose money in banks and bad invesments, we lot lose money in a hobby we love, and no one can take our fun and memories away?

I'm sure we're all in the same boat... I'm definitely throwing more money than I ever intended at mine /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

What!!! You're not about to top yourself, I hope?????? You can always get another boat.....................and pour loads of dosh into that /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Don't feel to bad about it! You have enjoyed the project and someone else is going to enjoy your labour of love. Who knows You might get a commision to do further restorations.

Ahh... you shouldn't count what you spend... it'l upset you. Boats are a bottemless pit into which you throw money. I don't think any of us buy them as an investment /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

I shouldn't worry about it. If you hadn't spent the money on the boat, it would probably have been wasted on fripperies like clothes and shoes by Mrs Firefly625, and we can't have that, can we? /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Lovely job, by the way.

Wow, I wondered what business I could start when the retail motor industry finally stops being any fun!

Anyone want to give me a small pile of money so I can go and buy an old speedboat and restore it? Promise to do a good job!!

The trouble is Mrs Firefly625 is still spending money on ridiculous things like food and and clothes and on top of that is insisting I carry on paying the mortgage. if only she wouldn't be such a bore I could keep the boat!!

You only live once boys and you cant bring it with you, might as well enjoy yourself while you can.
 
Re: Please make me feel better, surely I can\'t be the only one?

I was with a wise man who infests this forum, one Solitaire, when someone rang him for his professional opinion as to whether a particular boat would be a good investment. His reply, "Of course it won't be. I hope you enjoy every moment of it."
