Very hesitated in pulling the trigger

[ari]

However, I start to feel hesitated in pulling the trigger now. Nothing wrong with the boat nor the dealer, just
there are a devil and an angel in my mind.

Does anyone of you ever have similar experience? How did you go through this kind of situation?

Yes, every time! No matter how much you've researched and thought about it, ultimately it is not a rational decision.

I've never regretted it afterwards though.

Ours was a slightly different experience, we liked the boat, was happy in general with results of our survey etc, but a bit anxious with a newborn, already owning a smaller boat and running our business.. so we let fate decide and made a cheeky offer of just over 20% Under the asking price. When they said yes 5 minutes later it became very real.. but nothing we could do at that point. Very happy we did (even though I haven't stopped taking it to pieces yet!).

An old wise friend of ours says

You can never have too many sheds, cars, motorcycles, tools or boats. We are on the 5 cars and 3 boats.. but got a long way to catch up with him ��

Good day, guys,
It seems that I am not alone.
It just like when my girl friend accepted my propose and at that night, before turning off
the light, a whisper came accross my mind, "Wait! Are you sure?"

All your comments, feedbacks, suggestions ... are so important and valuable to me.
Thank you very much, everyone.

Well if it helps, it should be easier and less financially ruinous unloading the boat than unloading the wife...

Let's admit it: we all stood there when the man said: "If anyone knows of any reason why these two people should not be joined in Holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace"

and thought,

"Someone, someone speak up...PLEASE"

and so did our wives or husbands.

But, all in all, most of us are glad they didn't. Most of the time. :encouragement:

Andy Bav you are so right: "the first time you get any enjoyment out of it you wonder what the fuss was about".

Theres always a perfectly sound reason why you shouldnt buy a boat.....and that reason always disappears the first time and every subsequent time that you untie and leave your home berth for another large or small adventure and are cruising downriver to the sea......cant wait till the spring....

I once (stupidly) totted up the rough costs of the purchase and running of the various boats I've owned over the last 20 years and then thought, if I could, would I prefer to have all that money back in my bank account but none of the memories. No trade whatsoever..., never, ever! Our boats have been the source of countless amazing, life defining experiences and adventures and, as others have said, you can't take it with you!
