Boat Update

I put the boat up for grabs on Craigslist, and so far, I've had three nibbles of interest. One almost doesn't count.

On my ad, I did say I would consider a trade for personal water craft. So, interested party number one says he is interested in trading his wave runner for my boat. I've seen pics of the PWC. Not bad.

Second interested party, is just interested in maybe buying it. I will speak to them on Monday.

Third party, is interested in buying the boat, but wants to know if I will take payments. WTF?? I don't even take payments from family members, much less strangers I don't know. I sent a kind reply...I'm only accepting cash or cashiers check for the full agreed purchase price. Sorry...thanks for the interest.

My name's Heather. Not Bank. It took me years to get this notion through to Redneck Brother.

When I bought the boat, I was hoping to capture those memories I had as a kid, boating with my family. And those times I did take it out on the water, jumping waves, and the spray of fresh water in my face, I felt close to my father. It was exciting, and I loved it.

However, I've come to realize I hate actual boat ownership. Which is why I'm now putting it up for sale. It's too much of a pain in the ass to maintain. If I had a significant other that was a boat enthusiast, it might not be so bad, but to be a single female with a boat...ugh. I can't even begin to describe how much it takes just to put the thing in the water by myself.

So, here it is. A 1989 Sunbird Corsica. 4-cylinder Ford inboard/outboard motor. which was completely overhauled 3 years ago. Top speed, 35 mph. It can easily pull skis, inner tube, etc. The interior could use some work in the form of re-upholstering, but the transom is solid. The trailer is very good, and I have an extra spare tire for it.
Maybe down the road, if I have an S.O. that is another boat enthusiast, I might try owning another boat. Or maybe I will just get a waverunner. Right now, I just don't want to deal with it, and I'd hate to see it sit any longer. My stepdad would like to see me go ahead and fully restore the interior, but I just don't have the heart for it anymore.
