Well John, I'd say they've lost interest in boating, in favor of some other pursuit.
I would say that's probably a very true statement. For the money that little boat I had was costing
- depreciation, insurance, maintenance, storage, etc., I can rent a boat for several weeks a year.
Having an extremely handy storage place, like your driveway, would tend to make boating a more
frequent activity.
The last time I sold a boat, I waited about 15 years before getting another. Who knows, maybe this
time it'll be only ten years. We're already planning a weeks vacation with the grandkids at Smith
Mountain Lake next July. I'll rent a pontoon boat for the week or maybe a ski boat.

Of course, if you're not using it, it's best to sell off a depreciating asset.
Talk about a guy who can't see the hand in front of his face. Your ever
so lightly used vehicle and seldom, if ever, used boat fall neatly into
that category. Sell em both. Take a cab. Rent a boat. Use the money you
save to fix up your house.
