I am in a similar position with my Norman Conquest, it has to go next
year
due to a new baby,

I waited till my wife was pregnant with our first child, caught her at
an emotional moment and got her to agree to the purchase of a shiny
brand new boat!


Its not a problem, my wife loves boating as much as I do, but this one will
be too small with the extra person (its too small now!) so I figured we
would sell up and purchase a (bigger) boat in a few years time, we can
always hire in the meantime!
