[Island Life]

I can understand how you feel, even though I haven't yet departed ways with my first-ever boat. It's an old beater of a thing but I love being in it, love watching the kids and their friends jump off the bow on a hot day, love cruising home in the still water late at night, and love not having to worry too much about getting it messy because I bought it that way (well-used) 8 years ago. Do I feel the need for a newer, better boat? No way, I'm happy with my old one.
