The best two days of boat ownership is the day you buy it, and the day you sell it.

Well I had the later yesterday. We hadn't put our 1995 17.5' Four Winns in the water for the last four years. With all the camping, kids sports, and other activities it just fell by the wayside. A neighbor in our lake community asked us if we were going to sell it. I hadn't really thought about it but we struck a deal and I sold it to him. In this economy when people aren't spending lots of money, I was happy to get just below book value for it.

P.S. Now I have some extra cash for the auction this Saturday at the show in Dover, PA. :woohoo:

I think it is also a sad day when you sell your boat...I had a ton of memories with the ones I just sold. My kids and I grew up using them, a lot of great memories. I am looking forward to making more memories with my new one...if we ever get some rain that will put water in the river. :)

I was assigned to a couple pretty big "boats" while on active duty in the Navy. They sported 4- LM 2500 gas turbine engines built by General Electric. Same engine as used on a 747, adapted for marine use.
