Sold one of my loves
Bought this boat almost 20 years ago, made a trailer for it over 17 years ago, put a 30hp Johnson on it last (about 12 years ago).
Had too many in the yard, redid the transom in the spring, painted the inside and out and antifouled the bottom only to realize I couldn't utilize all I have, had to go. Caught a pile of trout trolling, gigged a pile of flounder, castnetted shrimp, shot duck. Sorry to see it go, been a good boat. It is a fiberglass bateau style skiff made by Owlcraft. Sale picture   Guy driving off with it from Thunderbolt ramp.

Put it up on Craigslist and TellnSell two weeks ago.
No calls for 10 days, got worried about asking $1200 but figured, I ain't gonna donate it. Sunday a guy from Bluffton called and arranged time Monday afternoon to run it. Let it go for $1100. One other call since. I thought it was fair. Trailer built in 1991, 1983-30hp motor, boat made in 1974. Certainlly got the most use from it than any other of my boats.

I'd say you made out pretty fair. Hard letting an old friend go. No such thing as too many boats in the yard though! Most I've ever had at one time was five.

That is what I was up to (5, not counting the canoe).
Got a 16' Tri hull (no calls-same price) that needs the transom and floor replaced, gonna end up fixing it and letting my son in law use it. Had 3 boats, with trailers stacked like planes in an aircraft carrier bay in my neighbors lot next door and the other 2 over at Daddys. Still gotta get a trolling motor for the Ashcraft and start outfitting it as a flats boat and one day actually use the canoe.

 Sorry buddy, but she knew you loved her and she would be better off with someone that could give her the attention she needs.
