The Danger of Re-commisioning a boat that is for sale!

[Nautorius]

Well,

We have put a few more hours on her yesterday and have to say I spent the time coming back from Lymington to Hamble thinking about why we are selling her! She is an amazing boat. She handles well, is comfortable, is small so cheaper to more, is economical etc. The only downside is accomodation. All of a sudden I do not want to sell her...she is great. We then went to the fuel pump....ahh only 100 litres needed after 8 hours use. She is just sooo cheap to own and run and is such a good girl. The best part was turning up at Lymington where even S28's had to Raft out and fitting on the end of the quay pontoon.

Size can work in your favour!

So we will be using her all winter, the hard top means no worries and the hull can take a fair beating! I have remembered why we bought her....

The mind boggles

something about having a boat where you are constantly pleased it all comes together so well, and so affordably.
So.. you going to keep her after all?

 

[Nautorius]

...of course not! I never keep any boat, even if I love them.

The point is that when you use a boat she suddenly seems great value. We need a larger cruising boat and it does not make financial sense to have yet another boat as well. However not now looking to give her away so will use her and leave her at the price (the cheapest in Europe) and wait for a buyer patiently.

It just all came together yesterday. we bought her as a day boat with occasional overnighting. We just want to start cruising again...

Size can definately be an advantage. I have a 24ft sports cruiser. While I always crave something bigger, it's lovely being able to get in comfortably at the end of the pier, or into shallower water etc.
