Have you ever had to sacrifice your boat ?

[wags on the water]

7months off work (no pay) due to a back injury - it was either the car or the boat and as I needed the car to go to the doc.....the rest is history. The boat was sold age 1 year and 1 week old. I miss not having a boat.

I have a very cost effective tinny and another boat that costs me a fortune. The wife has said "sell the boat and get some coin"......









I'll miss the tinny.


If anyone is interested its an older 4.5m Quinnie CC with a 60 2 stroke Yammy (about 200 hrs), with an as new Sealink trailer. I'll sort some photos as soon as I can and post it in the right section.

I almost sold my boat 4 years ago when business was in trouble - on ausfish at a firesale price - had plenty of offers, but didn't need to sell in the end. 2 years or so I left wife and kids and have been living off almost zero money while all my pay goes to her (I do it for my 2 kids). Business has gone well for last few years, but crap since late last year. Anyway sitting in my early thirties I left house, 3 cars, motorbikes, boat - etc. To live with less money than when I was 17. I have certainly learnt what is important to me. I haven't used my boat for over 2 years and should have sold it - my ex won't let me use until property settlement done - apparently it means I'm having fun (not on). I plan to get hold of boat in next week or so and get it ship-shape. Either to sell or use again. Fun and games..... I haven't used one of my motorbikes for over a year - so will be selling in next few weeks.
