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

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

I have to say, unless you are truly desperate for an ultra-quick sale - you're mad to put that on eBay!

People want a bargain on eBay and unless you can get the word out elsewhere (perhaps this forum though) the person buying that is unlikely to truly appreciate it for the classic it is.

Make sure you get on the classic boat forums as well and really get some interest going otherwise I fear the buyer really won't appreciate her as much as she deserves!

Looks like a beautifully restored boat - seems a shame you have to sell her, as now all the hard work is done, it looks like the potential for cheap boating fun is huge!

Funnily enough I had a similar kind of conversation with my SWMBO only this morning. I convinced her that I could have wasted the same amount of money on a horse or a Ferrari and at least a boat can involve the whole family. One thing I do guarantee though and that is you won't be lying on your deathbed regretting that you spent too much money on enjoying your boating

I quite agree, I certainty won't. To me boating is not so much a hobby as just what I do. My entire life has been spent around boats so its just in the blood....

the other options were fast women and slow horses...

Mmm, I've known a few of those. Boats are more reliable
 
Re: Please make me feel better, surely I can\'t be the only one?

forty years ago an older boater than I at the time, said "owning a boat is like setting fire to fivers and smiling while you're doing it"

the sentiment remains the same, only the fivers change to fifties these days /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I suspect boating is no more expensive than marriage. Especially those that get divorced several times over.

I've also come across a few in my time, and sometimes it could be argued that it was difficult to tell the two apart. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
