Soooooo...
The short story. I just couldn't do it. A lot went through my brain. The things that persisted:
The hull - is in great shape. For a 45+ year old hull, she looks great !
My engine and drive - are perfect and run great. I know them since day one.
I restored every inch of this boat and know what I have.
There's no other boat I covet (not at all) at this point of my family-raising, life.
A replacement boat is stupid $$$
She does everything I need well; beach, fish, get home in all types of snot, simple
I love the ride.
I must publicly apologize to Basketcase - I added depth to his username. He was patient and understanding. Never met him, but damn, he's the guy I'd want to sell my boat to. Cool dude. I'm just sorry that he had to join me on this roller coaster ride of my realization that.. ' I'm not ready to sell her..."
If there is a clean 23' Tsunami/ Sceptre out there and you know about it, please reach out to him 1st - he's deserves a nice one !
So, for now, you guys are stuck with me !
