I am looking for individuals that have at some point had a boat that they enjoyed. Then for some reason they sold or got rid of the boat. It can be any reason...moving up, financial, kids, etc...

They maybe then owned other boats (maybe not)
And at some point realized they wanted that boat from the past that they had so much fun on back again...so they went and bought one...maybe they restored it? Maybe not?

I am interested in how they felt AFTER rebuying theyre dream boat back.
The information will be used in a well published magazine!

Feel free to just email me at: (email is in my profile)

Thanks,
Jon Meade

Well this should sound funny and a little crazy, I rode in a Whaler 15 way back when I was 18 yrs old. Love the ride but never really knew anything about Whalers, thru the years I have owned many boats, I have even owned a Sea Ray 50 ft (with a ex business partner), and then have slowly gone back down, having big boats felt as I had lost the reason for boating. Went down to a 19footer Mako, and now finally I am at what I love the most so far, a Whaler 15ft. My friends think I am crazy but when we are the Fuel dock, they are very quite when they see how much I fill my little Whaler with :). Even my father left his Silverton 34 in the Marina the other day and joined me and my wife on the 15. I am only 36 yrs young so well see were am at later on life, maybe a 13?

I think I am having a reverse Mid life crisis, trying to simplify my life instead of complicating it more :)

I sold my second boat, the smaller size 16 footer to simplify things, like the trouble of winterizing and storing two boats. The bigger boat is 21’ and is great for most things but after a couple of years I missed the smaller boat. I replaced it with a 15’ Boston Whaler SuperSport. I love the look of the 15’s and like to use a smaller boat early and late in the season. The simplicity of small boats can be a great thing.
