A comment about selling the boat. You may have reasons that make my comments not apply to your situation, but my son and I were talking about possible, pretty negative economic scenarios and agreed that holding onto hard assets was probably a pretty good hedge.

Tools you can use to make things that become hard to get or to fix things (if you’re inclined that way), a boat to go fishing in, your vehicle in good repair, things like that could be pretty important if things escalate (short of nuclear war) with Russia, China, etc. You don’t have to be an alarmist or extreme pepper to see the risk of a time when things may be difficult to source. My boat isn’t in anything like the condition of yours, but I’m holding onto it and looking to get it solid and reliable.

Just something to consider. You obviously enjoy fishing and being outdoors.
