Unhappy I sold the Wellcraft

well...i sold my wellcraft 18 sport :( since i moved to panama city..i haven't really used it much...the fishing here compared to the chesapeake bay really sucks.......from florida's anal retentive regulations and lack of plentiful/good eating species available inshore.....i became bored and disgusted...add to the recipe high gas costs and something had to give.....so i sold it and bought a motorcycle :) ..sold it to a guy from Ga. for $3300(tilt and trim was broke)....bought my bike for $3350 :)

my buddy has a 23ft walkaround and i have been going fishing with him and splitting the gas..so i wasnt hardly using mine anyway.....however i do already miss it...once i retire and move back to Louisiana next year i'll start looking for another boat.....until then i'll concentrate on restoring my old classic boat....and seeing if i can prevent myself from being killed on the bike...

i've got a ton more excuses on why i sold it but i'll spare ya'll .... i've enjoyed this forum and learned alot...so ya'll not getting rid of me that easy lol maybe i'll get that V-20 one day? or another 18 sport? who knows maybe i'll be really cool and buy a sea ox! lol

here's some pics of the last time i took it out...goodbye lil buddy :(





and my new-to-me bike...2002 Suzuki Volusia...garage kept and in mint condition.. 3100 miles...




this was yesterdays ride.. vroom vroom...

You look too young to be retiring Kajun.

Wish I could have bought that 18 sport. That was a nice boat. And still is I suppose.

Be careful on that bike! I would love to have one but I'm a scaredy cat. Probably safer than being 20 miles off in a V but who knows.

So sorry to hear that.....you are in a good place though...a buddy with a boat and splitting gas is way cheaper than owning.

nipper...i'm almost 40...military retirement is 20 yrs...then i got to find a real job lol

blue...i'm scared of crashing or someone wrecking into me..but its hella fun to ride and i'm getting more comfortable as i ride more.but yea the idea of getting splattered on the pavement at 70mph is not cool....
