long story short ive found another boat and im gonna buy it but im having some anxiety about parting with mine.
im replacing it with another concord but a newer and nicer one that is open bow and will accomodate the growing family.
i love my current boat but we do need the extra room. i just finished restoring my current boat and finally have it the way i want but i cant turn down the deal on this newer boat, but i cant afford to keep both. my 2 year old son is in love with our current boat and told his mother he wants to keep it but i know once he sees the new one he will be equally excited about it. plus i will be parting with my first boat that i could call my own once i get this new one. am i being weird or is this normal for guys that have a passion for boats?
i guess what im trying to say is that i love my boat and will hate to see it go but i know in the long run i will be better off with a newer, nicer, roomier boat, but im really gonna hate to see mine go

I have not felt that way with a boat yet, but I do get that way when I sell a car I restored. Most recent was a 63 Impala vert. Many long nights spent working on it. Could not sleep the night before I delivered it.
My current boat has been an epic 2-1/2 year complete rebuild. So when its time to sell, I'll see what happens.

A happy family = a happy guy. The bigger boat is a good move.
I have a buddy looking for a clean Concord. If you are selling it PM me some info on it and your "asking" price.
